"Bad A** Bill"

Former President Bill Clinton sat down with some dude from FOX NEWS this Sunday, and became quite irate when asked about his pre 9/11 policies on terrorism. Basically he was asked why he didn't do more acting on intelligence about Osama.

What transpires on this video (I have only seen bits and pieces on the net of this) is Clinton pretty much taking over the entire interview. Pretty much accusing the FOX NEWS of just being a puppet of the Republican Party. He becomes physically at one point tapping the FOX NEWS guy on this leg to make a point.

He clearly goes off the cuff here, and seemingly speaks his mind. He claims he came closer than anyone to catching Osama and admits failing. He also, fires at Bush for giving more attention to Iraq.

Well you can fill the comments on if you agree or disagree if Clinton didn't do enough. But at the very least watch this video clip. Its pretty entertaining. Anyway, I hope the checked his heart rate after this.

Isn't it just assumed that Fox is a mouthpiece for the Republican party. Clinton was right to go off on the shitheel, he was just condescending and dismissive of whatever Clinton said. Republicans always talk about how Democrats have it in for Bush, Democrats hate for Bush is 1/100th of the hate that Republicans have for Clinton. They have a fetish for him.

I would vote for Bill Clinton right now in a heartbeat over anyone that is out there.

Clinton did come closer than anyone to killing bin Laden. And he's right about about one thing... the people who today criticize Clinton for not doing enough to catch bin Laden are the same people who, at the time, criticized him for doing too much.

Everyone knows that Fox News is a mouthpiece of the Republican Party. That is its whole reason for being in the first place.

I wish other Democratic politicians would watch that Clinton interview and take some lessons. That's how you deal with Fox News.

It is strange to see policitians to come across as real people. I wonder if anyone running for office would ever run like that. I doubt it, everyone is too worried about what their focus groups think.
