What do you think about Clinton's outburst on Fox news yesterday? For me that was so amazing, FOX news has a reputation as a right wing propaganda machine and I'm glad someone from the Party finally has the balls to see, hey I bite back. If more Democrats had balls like Clinton, I don't think people would say we are weak on anything. Go Clinton!

Yah, I saw it. Nice to see someone on the democratic side with some balls -- too bad it's the guy who can't run for president anymore.
Some say his appearance on Fox, along with Falwell's comments about Hillary, are PR to get voters in the booths this year. You know, to get the hate spewing on both sides. We'll have to wait and see whose tactics work best.

WAY TO GO CLINTON! It is about time someone said what has needed to be said for a LONG time and who better to say it than Clinton himself. I am proud that he stood up to Chris and defended himself. The attorney came out of Clinton when he started asking Chris the questions. Furthermore, everyone acts as tho they have to protect Bush and his mistakes and tiptoe around him-why? Of course, the Republicans will turn this around and make it look as tho Clinton became provoked with just "a question" when he was only setting the record straight. It is a shame he can't run for President again so we could have a strong leader in office who knows how to do the job.

I am a Democrat and voted for Bill Clinton twice. I would not go back and change my votes. But if he were to run for election again I would have second thoughts. He seemed emotionally disturbed and unstable. This tirade means I will not consider voting for Hillary. I think she is is "no Bill Clinton" to start with but now knowing that she would have an unstable partner it would be devastating to our country to have her in the Whitehouse.
I am no great fan of Fox news but Chris Wallace is trully a "fair" interviewer and did not deserve the abuse that President Clinton laid on him.
It looks to me like President Clinton will go the Carter way. He will do great things in the charity realm but will never be considered stable when speaking in public on other issues.

In the past, I have had plenty of mixed feelings about both Clintons. After this, I admire Bill more than ever (but am still not into Hillary, and don't think that she should run for President in 2008). Why can't more Democrats do stuff like this? If they appeared on FOX to raise holy hell more often, that channel might actually become something worth watching.

Clinton made himself out to be a fool .
OK for argument sake lets say Clinton was tough on terrorists .
Still leaves a lot of questions .
1. Why didn't he meet with the FBI, he went for years without being briefed by them .
2. In the 7 years following the first WTC bombing why did attacks on American interests not only continue but escalate .
3 Its everybodys fault but mine ,that's how he sounded
like it or hate it there has to be more to the Democrats than him
I don't think Clinton did any favors to the democratic party by having his outburst, actually we'll see this clip over and over again as a attack ad saying "IS this how you want counter terrorism run "
Not that Howard Dean and his types will do anything other than cut & run

The big difference between Clinton’s approach to terrorist and Dubya’s is LAW ENFORCEMENT vs. WAR. Terrorist attacked then WTC in 1993, Clinton let LAW ENFORENCEMENT handle then problem, and the guilty persons are now in prison. Terrorist blow up the WTC in 2001 and Dubya takes us into a never ending war. Clinton had a right to be pissed-off when Chris Wallace compared his success to Dubya’s failures.

I guess we can put that liberal media thing to rest.
It's time people realize that on 9/11, Bush had been president for nearly nine months. A lot can be accomplished in nine months. Ask any mother. He had enough time to give the wealthy their tax breaks. 911 happened on Bush's watch. He'd not only been warned by Clarke but by Rice. The same people that blame Clinton were screaming "wag the dog" when Clinton actually did try to do something about Osama. It's time to stop blaming Clinton for all of Bush's failures and hold Bush accountable.

I didn't actually see but read the synopsys on a few news reports. Based on that, I say go Bubba.... How can any reasonable person not respond to criticism to set the record straight? Especially appropriate since he was told the topic would be his work on global warming, not OBL. Of course right wing Fox tried to ambush him.

Hooray for Clinton! Reminded us that once upon a time USA had a intelligent scholar,an expert on foreign policy and a outstanding speaker for a president!
Those days are long gone now! It is too bad that Bill Clinton can not be elected back!

I agree with you. The interview was amazing. All Dems
should take a lesson & respond to the conserves in the
same manner.
Have you seen some of the latest political ads? The Republicans
have nothing to say except what they think is wrong with the
Dems.
The Dems ads are about improving medicare, social security
& lowering propery taxes for our senior citizens.
We're not weak on anything, we just prefer to address real
issues rather than childish bashing of the opponent.
Chris Wallace asked for it & he got it.

Why is it because Clinton wanted to set the record straight it's being called an "outburst'?
If that was Bush, he would be applauded!
I just loved the way the commentator cringed in his seat !
