Bill Clinton Defends Handling of Bin Laden

Former president accuses Chris Wallace of carrying out ‘conservative hit job’ on him after ‘FOX News Sunday’ host asked him about his administration’s handling of Al Qaeda threat.

Remember when our President was an intelligent, capable, inquisitive sort who wanted to do the right things for the right reasons? Remember when our President got himself into office without having to resort to skullduggery, dishonesty, manipulation, and outright thievery? Remember when America wasn’t universally hated around the world as a bully and a thugocracy?

Perhaps you don’t, but I do, and it wasn’t all that long ago. Though most Conservatives have twisted themselves into angry pretzels in their hatred of all things Clinton, the reality never matched the vitriol. During the Clinton years, the White House was a vibrant, active place. Government may not have always worked, but it certainly wasn’t from lack of effort. Bill Clinton was a leader and a statesman, and the reception he recveived when he travelled abroad was indicative of the high regard most of the rest of world held America in. My, how things can change in five years, eh?

Watching Clinton thoroughly embarrass Chris Wallace last night was a thoroughly satisfying experience. Wallace tried his best to trot out all of the old Conservative half-truths, lies, and disinformation about Clinton’s presidency, but the former President was having none of it. In fact, once he figured out what Wallace was up to, he turned the tables on Wallace, and made him look like the inept partisan imbecile he plays on television.

Of course, Clinton couldn’t have claimed to be surprised that an appearance on Fox News Channel turned into a political hatchet job. The man has been out of office for five years now, and Conservatives are still foaming at the mouth at the mere mention of his name. He’s still being blamed for things that, five years later, are long since out of his control. Even so, Clinton accepted the challenge and met the crapstorm head on. He made Wallace look like just another chump journalist like so many others who have misunderestimated his passion, his intelligence, and his debating skills. Chris Wallace is an idiot and a hack; all Bill Clinton did was to make this fact painfully obvious.

I miss President Clinton. President Chimpy McFlightsuit couldn’t hold his jock.

STILL GLAD YOU VOTED REPUBLICAN??
