What I saw wasn't a debate, it was Clinton filibustering. He didn't take Wallace apart, far from it. He looked like a rank amatuer who was out to make a big score on Fox and rip the network up and down. He was prepared to say exactly everything he said. He didn't even need Wallace to ask a question.
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.

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.

i've posted on some of those as well--thing is, this thread is about clinton, so that's why i was talking about clinton.
also, both sides do things right...er, correctly, and both do things wrong. nothing makes me shake my head more than when one party comes up with an idea, it's automatically shot down by the other....and then weeks or months later, or longer, the other party comes up with something similar, and the ones who originally had the idea, and thought it was good, suddenly are the shooters. it's a wonder anything gets accomplished! believe me, i'm not anyone's idea of a right winger. don't go to church and fear the religious right, i'm pro-choice (altho it is unconstitutional imo!), don't care if gay people can get married, we've subscribed to playboy forever, very much a believer in the bill of rights and the constitution...basically think everyone should mind their own business....of course i also happen to be a gun owner who believes in small govt....and am a bit 'hawkish'...so the libs won't have me either. i judge each candidate on his or her own merits, and don't belong to any party. thankfully here in arkansas you don't have to register...but if i did, i'd be an independant, thus assuring that i would never be able to vote in a primary!
