Unfortunately, journalists have decided to focus on an obviously agitated Bill Clinton by referring to him as combative, and defensive as opposed to addressing some of the important issues that he raised. Is anyone else frustrated by this, and thinks that conservatives are eager to bash the one democrat who seems to have a spine. Is this an attack? By the way I am not a liberal.

Yes
Im not frustrated by it because he was ready for it.
This is part of an orchestrated reactionary campaign to draw attention away from the complete failure of the Bush regime and Congress.
It is a planned smear and fear campaign and kicked off right after the all time low poll results.
Two pronged attack.....attack Clinton and spread fear.

Clinton wasn't giving his strong opinions. Clinton lost his mind.
Clinton agreed to be interviewed by Wallace because Murdoch made a huge pledge to Bill's environmental program. One have of the interview was supposed to be about his charity work, the other half was supposed ot be about anything else, no holds barred.
I think Clinton prepared his remarks about Bin Laden with his usual faux emotion that Democrats love using to try to convince people they are passionate about a subject. But when Wallace brought up the "anything goes" questions at the beginning of the interview I think it flustered Clinton. And then add a little real emotion to his faux emotion and being flustered and Clinton's reaction was out of control.

It's not an attack. He obviously made a fool of himself on national tv and now everyone is saying poor Bill. I say boo-hoo. He knew before they went on the air that night that he was going to be asked that question and still flew off the handle. If you watched the whole interview would have seen that was basicly the way he responded to all of the questions. Remember folks he was put up to be impeached so that tells me that not everyone liked him when he was in office. What is so different now?

Bill Clinton does not have a spine.
He acted like a spoiled child caught in a lie. He threw a tantrum.
We, as a nation, are transfixed by this because he acted so immature and without any dignity...he is an ex President after all and (even though it's Bill) we expected more of him.
We don't want to dwell on this but it's like a train wreck...we can't look away!

By that argument, one would have to say that the entire media is threatened by Bush - he has been under fire his entire presidency, no matter what he does. How can we be threatened by Clinton? I think people are really surprised considering that they just found out their golden boy isn't as docile as they thought. I find the whole situation quite amusing, frankly.

If I was Chris Wallace, I would DEFINITELY feel threatened! Man, if Clinton had touched me the way he did Chris...Oh boy! I'd be filing sexual harassment charges!!

For me the answer is no. I feel he is afraid of the right. They have the ability to get the truth out about his failures as president. He is really afraid of Fox News. It scares him spitless.

They are more threatened by sagging pole numbers and the mid-term elections.
