I hope this links correctly, because this is some of the worst pwnage I've ever seen a politician unleash on a reporter. Chris Wallace interviews Bill Clinton, asks a long accusatory question about why he didn't do more to kill Bin Laden, and gets a 13 minute ass whooping in return.

A must see. Gold star.

Clinton is obviously very agitated. I think he over-reacted to the question. At the same time, I have no respect for efforts to blame him for not doing enough. Conservative commentators have been busy pointing out after this rant that NRO and other sources supported his missle strikes, but at the same time, I don't really know who the fuck these people think they are fooling when they say that mainstream Republicans weren't accusing him of "wagging the dog." Its infuriating to me that people claim an actual military conflict was an attempt to draw attention away from something that was transparently intended to draw attention away from something. Dumb.

I saw an interview with Clinton recently where he was saying that the Democrats biggest mistake was not fighting back. He then talked about it a bit and said that the Democrats were going to HAVE to start fighting the constant berating and put downs with facts and ire at being constantly falsely accused.

So...when I saw this happen, my first thought was that Clinton is trying to lead the party by example.

I never saw him as being "purple faced" or "infuriated" only righteously indignant and defensive.

I applaud him - boy did he show how an eloquent politician can TALK. It made Bush's and his stumbling over his lower lip look really BAD.
