When Clinton came to Fox News
The most interesting item today is the Clinton-Fox News interview. Why would anyone choose to go through a Fox News interview is beyond me, but they do it, one after another. They go on O'Reilly, thinking they can convince him or at least convince the viewers while they fail to consider the fact that O'Reilly controls the volume and that soon enough they will all find themselves screaming truth to perceived power. It's unbearable to watch.
And here Bill Clinton, with his new bipartisan agenda for world peace and third-world prosperity and all the other stuff that ex-presidents do to be remembered fondly by historians, goes on Fox News and talks to the one person who had complained in the past about the Path to 9/11, Chris Wallace, and the Fox machine hammers him as if he was personally responsible for Bin Laden's welfare.
Again, the false idea that Richard Clarke said what he said because he was a political hack.
Again, the idea that Clinton chose inaction because he was afraid of Wag the Dog criticism.
Again, the passive, Fox News signature-style of attack, "Some people say...", "Some people accuse you...", or in this case--
I’m asking you in good faith because it’s on people’s minds, sir.Honestly, I'm not saying Keith Olbermann's Countdown is the only place for Democrats, but let's make a goddamn stand here and leave Fox News for those who still think--and will continue to do so no matter how much proof discredits this--that Saddam was responsible for 9/11. by the way, these are the same people who don't believe in evolution.
I know we're talking about a lot of people here, but just like you don't go on the religious channels to try to convince people about evolution, you shouldn't go to Fox News to convince people Bush is capable of making a mistake.

I suspect he went on Fox as a favor to Murdoch for his support for his nonpartisan efforts to raise over $7 billion to combat the world's biggest problem. Just a guess.
Good point and they legitimize Faux News and Bill Creepface by going on the show. I particulalrly agree with this from 1st hand experience "hat Saddam was responsible for 9/11. by the way, these are the same people who don't believe in evolution."
Windyridge, I like the Bill Creepface thing. It took me a while to realize who you were talking about there. I'm probably used to him being Bill O'Lielly, but Bill Creepface might be better.
