Bill Clinton did what should have been done a long time ago.
He stood up to these right wing, lying weasels and put one of them in his place. If more of our Dem leaders took this approach, these bullies would think twice before spewing their bullshit.

The Big Dog kicked some freeper ass, and I am proud of him!!

venue and circumstance than a god damn fox news "interview". At any point, I would have bought a $1000 ticket to hear him to actually tell the truth about bush.

2. Angry

So the right wing press think Bill Clinton was angry. It is a shame that they can't see the real America. We are all angry. We are angry that the press continues to comment and print on only favorable messages about bush. We are angry that they do not tell us the truth. They never had any commentary on the Downing Street Memo. They never went into the fact that bush lie repeatedly about the reasons he invaded a neutral country and started a war. They never told us the truth about why the did not respond to Katrina. They never went into anything but skimmed the surface about the leak of Plume's name.

If by some miracle the democrats do take over this congress. Before they investigate the bush administration the first thing they should do is to investigate the news media. Bob Novak, Chris Wallace, Chris Matthews, and every single one of the bush boys. If the democrats win THIS IS THE WHAT WE HAVE TO DO...INVESTIGATE THE PRESS. AND LOCK ALL THE BAST**D'S UP.

3. I agree - Clinton should have done it 5yrs ago when the charges were first
made and when 8 books came out lying about Clinton's efforts on terrorism.

Instead, every Dem candidate running for office in 2002 and 2004 was burdened with the PERCEPTION that Dems are weak on terror because Bill Clinton did nothing for 8 yrs.

Sorry - but that was the perception for 5yrs and perception matters more than facts, as I've been told here at DU more than a few times.

They've kicked you from pillar to post - what did they expect?

Wallace won't be the last to get his ass whipped.

5. Amen-Amen-Amen
Take it to them. Take the fight right to President Bush on terrorism, Iraq, anything. He is a crappy president and a crappy person. Take the fight to him. Period. People are sick of him. He is like the idiot family that you just have to put up with but talk about when they are not around. Take the fight to him.

6. No shit. I HOPE HE LEARNED HIS LESSON!
Clinton has this crazy naive illusion that both sides can work together for the good of all. I hope he finally realized that you CANNOT WORK with these neo con asshats.

7. It's what we do here every day, every minute, every few seconds.
It's so simple. Just a little truth and the Flying Monkeys come crashing down.

8. Me too..
... and while I'm here - an anecdote from Dallas TX.

My wife is in cardiac rehab after open heart surgery. She visited the facility last week. There were three other patients and the nurse.

I had been there with her a couple of times and Fox News was always blaring away. This time I wasn't there, but the nurse running the show asked the rehab patients what channel they wanted to watch. Everyone chimed up immediatetely "Not Fox, that's not news"! The nurse got kind of defensive and said "the morning bunch only wants to watch Fox" and "we have to be unanimous". But she wound up having to change to CNN.

Now, you know and I know that CNN is only a small margin better than Fox, but at least the the great unwashed are catching on - Fox is not news, it is fucking propaganda.

9. Total propaganda, and needs to be taken on as a mission, imo.
I hope you are getting some rest and that your wife is recovering well. Is the increasingly frustrating news hard on her condition?

10. Thanks..
.... my wife is doing fine. The news as of right now is actually looking pretty good. If we could get a few high-level Democrats to speak the way our former president has spoken, we'll win the house this November!
