Transcript of Clinton's Fox News Interview

[driver]

<p>I thought Wallace should have slapped his hand away when the crotch-poking started. Good thing he had his notes in his lap. It was indeed an enthralling train wreck, not unlike some of my favorite CC posters.</p>

[weenie]

<p>The only thing more entertaining than the interview is how THREATENED all you righties still feel about Clinton.</p>

<p>Why, it simply gave me heart palpitations watching Clinton b*tch slap FOX news. ;)</p>

@Simba

This is same as Bush Sr. dished out on Dan Rather.

Simba, </p>

<p>You couldn’t be more wrong.</p>

<p>Go to this site <a href=“http://www.ratherbiased.com/bush_attack.htm[/url]”>http://www.ratherbiased.com/bush_attack.htm&lt;/a&gt; scroll down to “Watch the interview”. It will pop-up on “realplayer” and you can see the actual interview.</p>

<p>It’s difficult to listen to Dan Rather go ballistic in the interview and then cut Bush off the air mid sentence. Incredible! I’d never seen it before. Thanks for pointing it up. I’m absolutely stupefied by it.
Did Dan Rather really have that much power in the media?</p>

<p>Chris Wallace comes across as a mute compared to Dan Rather’s vicious and inappropriate onslaught.</p>

<p>…no liberal media? </p>

<p>I don’t know…you ought to hit the link above and think again.</p>

@weenie

it simply gave me heart palpitations watching Clinton b*tch slap…

</p>

<p>Weenie,</p>

<p>He’s had a lot of practice slappin what he may term “b<em>tches.” And that’s no metaphor. He’s a regular OG in the b</em>tch slappin department.</p>

[driver]

<p>b<em>tch-slap—an interesting way to put it, in view of that charming event that FS reminded us of in this article from The Nation. I like the gangsta rap touch, Weenie.

I think it’s obvious to most that old pokey-finger b</em>tch-slapped himself.</p>

[ag54]

<p>It’s funny that weenie’s interpretation of the interview was that Clinton b**ch slapped Wallace. That is not at all how I saw it. And yes, I would feel threatened by a large man looming in my face and poking at me. But, I am hardly a rightie or a Clinton hater. I actually like him more and more as time goes by, that is why the interview was so shocking. He must have been having a really bad day, or maybe he had a fight with his wife and Wallace was just the target of the unspent aggression.</p>

<p>From someone who knows him better than most:

From behind the benign facade and the tranquilizing smile, the real Bill Clinton emerged Sunday during Chris Wallace’s interview on Fox News Channel. There he was on live television, the man those who have worked for him have come to know – the angry, sarcastic, snarling, self-righteous, bombastic bully, roused to a fever pitch. The truer the accusation, the greater the feigned indignation. Clinton jabbed his finger in Wallace’s face, poking his knee, and invading the commentator’s space.</p>

<p>But beyond noting the ex-president’s non-presidential style, it is important to answer his distortions and misrepresentations. His self-justifications constitute a mangling of the truth which only someone who once quibbled about what the “definition of ‘is’ is” could perform.

[weenie]

<p>Ah, you guys are all gonna come down on ME when you’re out there accusing Clinton of RAPE?</p>

<p>Gee, where were all you helpful types when Clarence Thomas was nominated?</p>

[ag54]

<p>I’m certainly not coming down on you, sorry if you felt that way, I was only stating how it is funny that people can have such different interpretations of the same event. But, my interpretation is not based on the “rightie” thing, it was more based on the fact that I have been in those types of confrontations before, and yes, they do scare me.</p>

[driver]

<p>Already covered in The Nation, Weenie. You gotta read this stuff first. Then comment. There were no allegations of rape or any other inappropriate physical contact with regard to Justice Thomas.

But investigations by NBC News and reporting from the Washington Post poked no major holes in it. She has as much corroboration as Anita Hill–friends who say she told them about the assault at the time, one of whom says she saw her immediately after with a bruised and swollen lip. So far as we know, Broaddrick has no motive to lie. Of course, the President’s men are right to say you can’t disprove an ancient charge like this. But the best Clinton’s defenders can come up with is that rape doesn’t fit his “MO”–as if, after all the backing and filling and prevaricating and outright lying, we know what this man’s MO really is.

But, my interpretation is not based on the “rightie” thing, it was more based on the fact that I have been in those types of confrontations before, and yes, they do scare me.

You should try sitting across from me at a crowded dinner table, with nothing but a bottle of wine separating us. ;)</p>

[OpiefromMayberry]

<p>:) It was enjoyed by both sides for opposite reasons. How it plays out will certainly be interesting. It does however, put the issue back on the current administration as they have to revisit and explain what has happened since. </p>

<p>Actually, I’ve tried to watch that program before and I am still trying to figure out how they animate Brit Hume. He looks like he’s been dead awhile.
Fox has football on Sundays, otherwise they don’t get my business.</p>

[FountainSiren]

<p>Weenie,</p>

<p>To the best of my understanding, Anita Hill accused Clarence Thomas of coming on to her in a way she found inappropriate. It was at best tasteless and inappropriate, if true. Moreover, there were congressional hearing s held over her accusations and Thomas was confirmed by the Senate. Something of a vindication of Thomas, I’d say. </p>

<p>Junita Broaddrick, Kathleen Wiley and Eileen Wellstone claimed Clinton molested and raped them. I make no such claim beyond acknowledging their own. My secondary source was “The Nation” article by Katha Pollitt, who, as I gather, is a very liberal Democrat writing in “THE” journal of the Left (not including the NYT). Though you would be right in thinking that the Left more or less wrote off these claims of their fellow Democrats–it wasn’t convenient for the party that claims to champion women’s rights via “feminism” to acknowledge the victims in these crimes against women by their hero, Slick-Willie, the reputed molester and rapist.</p>

<p>As has been noted, Chris Wallace, as a man on TV, only had to fear Clinton’s violent body gestures and voice (beyond the attempted crotch grab) whereas Junita Broaddrick, Kathleen Wiley and Eileen Wellstone claim to have seen these violent gestures gather into a physical attack and sexual molestation.</p>

<p>.</p>

[FountainSiren]

<p>Oh yeah, Mini: </p>

<p>What about Jesus?</p>

[mini]

<p>Funny. I thought you were going to refer to Selene Walters.</p>

[driver]

<p>

Funny. I thought you were going to refer to Selene Walters.

Funny, I’ve always had you pegged as a Kitty Kelley wannabe. What is it about you Washatonians? </p>

<p>Rips off wig and corset, draws sword. Scrw this polite “salon” BS.*</p>

[mini]

<p>Got your dander up, aye? Now you can begin wagging your finger at the crotch of the person sitting across from you…</p>

[Rabban]

<p>President Clinton – He’s the first president in US history who taught us that we must listen and value the opinions of the others, even they are minority- we can all learn from the dissenting opinions. Actually, during the Clinton’s era, there was a great influx of women/minority into top government positions, including key decision/policy making posts. I’d rank him right with President Truman, President Kennedy as one of our greatest presidents who really cared for the underprivileged. He was the champion of the low-middle class</p>

<p>

Got your dander up, aye? Now you can begin wagging your finger at the crotch of the person sitting across from you…

Finger? I said sword, dude. You better cover up.</p>

<p>Rabban, you sound like the famous “pony-tail guy” from the 1992 “town hall ‘debate’”:

How can we, symbolically the children of the future president, expect the two of you – the three of you – to meet our needs?"

</p>

[zoosermom]

<p>“Actually, during the Clinton’s era, there was a great influx of women/minority into top government positions, including key decision/policy making posts.”</p>

<p>Really? Who?</p>

<p>" I’d rank him right with President Truman, President Kennedy as one of our greatest presidents who really cared for the underprivileged. He was the champion of the low-middle class"</p>

<p>Really? How?</p>

[LakeWashington]

<p>In no way was Clarence Thomas vindicated by the Senate confirmation hearing. It was simply a horrendous situation that all Senators, Democrats and Republicans, wanted to drop like a hot rock onto someone’s desk. Do you remember the vote tally? Thomas “won” by a razor thin margin because the senators didn’t know what else to do.</p>
