<p>Now I don’t see much value in posting this on this particular forum seeing as how most people who post here are raging democrat moms, but I figured people should see it.</p>
<p>Don’t kill me for the comment, I’m a huge Clinton fan too and I wish he was still our President.</p>
<p>It was a pretty pathetic performance from Clinton. Wallace should have said, “Mister President, I haven’t seen you wag that finger since you said you never laid a glove on Monica.”</p>
<p>I don’t know: smirking chimp the newscaster reminded me of smirking chimp the President. I was happy to watch Clinton rip him a new one.</p>
<p>
Not actually having seen Chris Wallace smirk, I’ll take your word for it, however, there is no reason to believe that Chris Wallace’s smirk leads to violent attacks and self-righteous outrage.</p>
<p>I’ll bet Juanita Broaddrick has seen the “smirk” on Clinton’s face in the past, she even claims, as you say, that “Clinton rip[ped her] a new one”:
</a></p>
<p>also here: <a href=“404 Not Found”>404 Not Found;
<p>Junita Broaddrick, Kathleen Wiley and Eileen Wellstone claim to have seen the Clinton smirk turn into a Clinton rage played out on their bodies.</p>
<p>As luck would have it, Chris Wallace is not an attractive woman. He was not molested, or “ripped,” in the process. </p>

<p>Clinton is a quintessential, textbook narcissist…not your everyday, run-of-the-mill one, but a guy with full-blown Narcissistic Personaity Disorder as outlined in the DSM IV. What Chris Wallace experienced was a classic narcissistic rage–basically how <em>ANY</em> narcissist responds when being challenged on ANYTHING. Bottom line is, they are always right, you are always wrong, and there is no such thing as compromise or productive discussion. I should know. I grew up in a house full of 'em. </p>
<p>Nothing unusual there, though. About 90% of politicians and entertainers <em>are</em> narcissists, as are a few people who post regularly on this forum. ;)</p>

<p>Very perceptive, berurah.</p>
<p>
Yes, but did you notice how Bill started poking at Chris’s crotch? Classic aggressive simian [chimpy] male behavior.</p>
<p>I thought the interview was hilarious. After a week of being fawned over by the rest of the media, Clinton was clearly not ready for a real question and he freaked.</p>
<p>I think you’re wrong, fundingfather. I think the only reason Clinton went on FOX was because he knew he’d get a question like that and he was waiting to sandbad poor Chris Wallace. It was a fair question, one that Wallace appears to have asked both Condi Rice and Donald Rumsfeld, and which Clinton could have handled in a number of ways that would have given him more credit. Besides, I’ve only seen Clinton mad on TV when he wanted to manipulate the situation. He’s too much a professional for it to be otherwise, certainly with a softball question like this.</p>
<p>This way he’s able to force attention on himself AND try to re-write history in a perfectly defensible way: mean old FOX news attacked him and he was only defending himself.</p>
<p>berurah: Boy, that site brings back memories! I spent much time there doing research on my MIL. 
I agree that Clinton is a classic NPD case. For me it’s painful (and scary) to watch him.</p>
<p>Strick,</p>
<p>I have heard this theory and it is credible. The thing that makes it less likely is that Chris Wallace said that during the interview Clinton’s press secretary was trying to get the producer to end the interview after the tantrum began. Also, after the interview was over, Clinton stormed out yelling at his staff for allowing him to be put into that situation.</p>
<p>
I get violently ill at the sight of a narcissist “in action,” and yes, those people frighten me more than just about anything else on this earth. {{{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}}} to you for having to deal with one. I was raised (and then disowned and disinherited) by one, so I can empathize.</p>
<p>~berurah</p>
<p>I thought the interview was pretty funny, too. I only wish it had come closer to the election! I’d like to point out that Wallace asked Rumsfeld the same question a year or so ago.</p>
<p>Thanks for the hugs! We have been pretty much disowned, and chances are we’ll be disinherited too. 
It’s interesting to watch how Democrats are trying to spin the interview.</p>
<p>This is same as Bush Sr. dished out on Dan Rather.</p>
<p>Nice try, but there’s no comparison. Rather wouldn’t let Bush Sr. get a word in edgewise. Wallace on the other hand gave Clinton all the rope he needed to do himself in.</p>
<p>zooser:
what q. did Wallace ask Rumsfeld?</p>
<p>I thought it one of the most refreshing moments of tv I’ve seen in a long time. As for the politics, a plague on all their houses.</p>
<p>I watched the interview and I would definitely say that Wallace didn’t have a smirk on his face, it looked more like a, “What the h**l?” look to me and it got worse when the finger wagging started. I couldn’t believe how it degraded considering Clinton is such a political pro. I can’t imagine how Hilary’s handlers are running around like chickens with their heads cut off trying to spin this thing. Anyone who actually watches the interview will see the meltdown occuring. I have been in “discussions” like this where someone starts leaning in close and finger wagging and I have been VERY afraid and tried to get away as soon as possible. Poor Wallace had to stick it out and try to look professional! Pathetic, but enthralling, kind of like a train wreck.</p>
<p>“zooser:
what q. did Wallace ask Rumsfeld”</p>
<p>The “did you do enough” question. Sorry I didn’t make that clear.</p>
