He did not come across with any dignity or statesmanship that you would expect from a former president. No surprise though, he never treated the office as anything special when he held it. Think about any other former president making such a red-faced spectacle of himself. and he was concerned that Chris was smirking at him? Oh too bad, the former president let an interviewer's smirk get to him.
If he had all the facts on his side he could have just engaged Wallace and answered the questions matter of factly. the reason he can't try that approach, he doesn't have facts on his side and it hurts him so he points and jabs his finger 100 times and talks about media conspiracies as if that somehow makes him correct.

Nothing like the dignity and statesmanship of one dick cheney as he yelled across the senate floor "go F yourself"? yep, dignity.
By "facts", do you mean the ones that the 9/11 commission used in commending Clinton for his efforts in trying to get Bin Laden? Yep, those facts.
