Just read the transcript of Chris Wallace interview with Bill Clinton
I hate to see Bill get so upset! All I have to say, and I know Bill probably did not want to mention it but, I seem to remember while the whole Monica thing was going down, Clinton sent missiles over to Afghanistan, targeting Al qaeda training camps and areas where Bin Laden had been seen. The whole time, right wingers were saying he was only doing this to deflect attention away from the Monica Lewinsky case.

I know Bill tried his hardest, with the limited amount of time he had to try and kill Bin Laden. While President "Silver spoon" had 5 1/2 years and counting!

It's a damn shame what this administration has done to this country.

1. Just read a fragment of the interview
Damn! Bubba really pinned Wallace's ears back. And every single word was right on.
Once upon a time, children, we had a really smart man running the country.......

5. Clinton pinned Wallace's ears back, but it looks like Wallace was laughing
at him:

CLINTON: Did you ever ask that? You set this meeting up because you were going to get a lot of criticism from your viewers because Rupert Murdoch is going to get a lot of criticism from your viewers for supporting my work on Climate Change. And you came here under false pretenses and said that you’d spend half the time talking about…

WALLACE:

CLINTON: You said you’d spend half the time talking about what we did out there to raise $7 billion dollars plus over three days from 215 different commitments. And you don’t care.

snip-

CLINTON: What did I do? I worked hard to try and kill him. I authorized a finding for the CIA to kill him. We contracted with people to kill him. I got closer to killing him than anybody has gotten since. And if I were still president we’d have more than 20,000 troops there trying to kill him. Now I never criticized President Bush and I don’t think this is useful. But you know we do have a government that think Afghanistan is 1/7 as important as Iraq. And you ask me about terror and Al Qaeda with that sort of dismissive theme when all you have to do is read Richard Clarke’s book to look at what we did in a comprehensive systematic way to try to protect the country against terror. And you’ve got that little smirk on your face. It looks like you’re so clever…

WALLACE:

6. The son's rebellions.
Just like Jr. Bush has rebelled against his father's advisors, so has Chris rebelled against his father's notion of journalism.

It's no wonder that Chris would support Jr.

It's sort of like the Hollywood Child Star Syndrome. It's a support group that leads to thousands of dead innocents. No matter about the dead and suffering if it soothes the egos of those unfulfilled children.

Take that Dad!!!!!!

8. I doubt any other RW corporate media will make that mistake with Bill,
William Jefferson Clinton will defend himself. I hope Mike Wallace is really proud of his son.
