Actually, it looks bad on Clinton. He is normally composed, but he stooped low this time. There was no reason for what he did. Tougher questioning has been given to Bush and Cheney and they did not have this kind of meltdown. This will go down in history in the same category as Howard Dean's sqwaking episode when he was on the campaign trail. The Republicans owe Clinton a thank-you for this one.

Susica- If you don't think the Bush administration gets tough questioning, you obviously did not see the roomful of hungry jackals during this mornings press conference with Tony Snow.

I couldn't agree with you more, he looked like a buffoon. The last time he was that indignant, self righteous, & wagging his finger, he was caught in another lie. Deja vu!!

Baloney. The problem that most neo cons have with the Clinton interview is that he took charge. He didn't just smile politely and dodge the question—quite unlike Wallace who is shameless and cannot be defined as a journalist let alone responsible
If you want to see the double talk for yourself, see the transcript of the interview here:
http://thinkprogress.org/clinton-interview
Clinton also did something that you will never see the neo cons do—he took responsibility. "Obviously, I didn't do enough because I didn't get him"
As for Monkey Boy and Dick Vader getting tougher questioning, I say BALONEY to that too. That is totally refuted by the fact checkers at boh thinkprogress.org and at therandirhodesshow.com. And for your information, the hatchet job contained in the line of questioning and the fact that NO ONE in the upper echelon of the current administration has been forced to answer those questions in their combined total of 42 appearances on Fox News Sunday was a big part of EXACTLY what Clinton was getting so riled up about.
If you don't believe me, check it out yourself—see my source links below.

I agree!! It reminded me of my children saying but you don't make him clean under the bed. LOL He was wrong. I really am not surprised that he changed the subject. After all, he did not engage in sexual conduct with that women. (and I have a bridge to sell in the desert)

He was awful/ The libs walk in lock step with the Clintoons. He even tried showing some leg. His pants was too short and his socks were to low. He had pasty white legs. ECH

Because he still looks Presidential. Fox pulled another half-a**ed stunt and it backfired on them. The worse part is if they asked the current moron in charge anything other then their typical softball questions to him he wouldn't even recognize an important question. Fox and Bush if only they would broadcast in German it would be perfect.

Clinton was speaking directly to his liberal base.
A bunch of sniveling, snarling rabid little 12 year olds.
I think he did a great job getting his moron constituency stirred up. Just look at this site.

He looked good, physically. But he acted like a spoiled brat, bulling Chris Wallace and his handlers. He just showed hie true colors!

Too much cool-aid. Mr Clinton apparently has become so accustomed to getting a pass from journalists that he has come to expect it as his due.

Democrats actually think it makes sense to blame the fact that the questions were not given to him beforehand (or that he had not approved them).

I don't consider myself a liberal, but I enjoyed how he stood up for himself while pointing out the obvious reasons for his being there were for Fox to embarrass and belittle him. Then he took control of the interview and gave them a piece of his mind. I think he handled it very well.
