Hmm, Someone's Worried about their Legacy.

Wow, did you see Bill Clinton go off on Chris Wallace on Sunday? Chris asked the simple question of did he do enough to catch Bin Laden. Clinton just went off, pointing his finger, reaching over and tapping on his notes, getting almost right in his face. Then, things got really strange as he launched into how this question and whole interview was some sort of conservative hit job and how Chris Wallace was doing the bidding of Fox News. Talked about how Wallace had this smirk on his face. Man, he was really upset.

Yo, Bill, it was a very legitimate question. You might want to stay out of the kitchen if you can't take that kind of heat. I also thought it strange that Clinton based his entire 8 years of combating terrorism solely on Richard Clarke's book. I don't know how many times he said, "Just read Clarke's book, it's all there." It was like watching a celebrity on Leno hawk his new movie.

He somewhat indicted himself when he said, "I tried 8 years and failed; they (Bush) had 8 months and couldn't do it." So, what you are saying is that Bush should have done in 8 months what you couldn't do in 8 years?

I've always felt, and the 9/11 Commission concurs, that there was plenty of blame to go around. Hindsight is so 20/20. Blame Bush I, blame Clinton, blame Bush II. Fact is, we just didn't think something like this would ever happen. We'll see if we learned or not. Some say we're safer, some say we're not, there's more terrorists now, there's less terrorists, yada yada yada.

Why did this get Clinton so riled? Does he truly believe all this right-wing conspiracy stuff that Hillary also liked to spout? It was strange seeing him reduced to a liberal version of Rush Limbaugh as he talked about how all the conservatives are out to get him. Sounds to me like someone is very worried about his legacy getting tarnished. If he truly didn't do enough and is feeling guilty about it, then an interview on Fox News should be the least of his worries.
