Some folks think Clinton’s little tirade with Mike Wallace which aired alst Sunday was a scripted political move designed to motivate the moonbats to ATTACK. It might well have been that, but, as Ian at Hot air notes, this wasn’t his first such outburst:

The former President sparred with the late Peter Jennings during a 2004 interview at the Clinton library.

Jennings, who passed away last year, received rage after noting Clinton was ranked 41 (out of 41) for moral authority by a C-SPAN organized panel occupied by 58 historians. He responded “they were wrong about that” because “they were wrong about that”. Clinton then went on to wagging his finger at Jennings saying “you don’t have any example where I ever lied to the American people about my job”, to only conclude that he doesn’t “really care what they [the American people” think”. Jennings stopped him right in his tracks and confidently voiced “oh yes you do”, Clinton responds “you don’t want to go there, Peter”.

The most important part of the interview is encapsulated in what followed Clinton’s “you don’t want to get there” remark. Clinton, like his FNC interview, blamed the network for repeating “every little sleazy thing” Kenneth Starr “leaked”. Another similarity is where he admitted he failed. This failure wasn’t about his adulterous relationship(s), but that he let getting caught get to him.

The man is still a piece of work after all these years.
