Boy, Was I Wrong!
Okay, I admit it… I was wrong. When I see the relentless dogging of George Bush in his press conferences and his administration savaged in interviews, I wonder why they don’t defend themselves and their policies more vigorously.
Now, I think I know why they don’t and admit that I was wrong for hoping they would. President Bill Clinton appeared on Fox News and it was pathetic. I mean, he lost it… he came unglued… and, in the end he looked just like a blame-shifting juvenile and total crybaby. A crybaby, I may add, who evidently doesn’t pay much attention to the news and interview shows. This guy is seriously out of touch with the ground rules of shows like Meet the Press, Hardball, Scarborough Country, etc.. He’s way out there if he doesn’t know that this happens to conservatives weekly, if not daily. Jeeeesh… Listen to NPR. What a whiner.
Frankly, I appreciate the Bush Administration’s adult demeanor a lot more now. It’s one thing for bloggers and folks at the pub or the coffee hut to get into it like Bill, but I suppose there’s a level of decorum that we come to expect from world leaders. This has really become apparent in the past couple of weeks. Bill Clinton, Jimmy Carter, Hugo Chavez and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad occupy a somewhat lower tier of statesmenship than I have come to expect. Check out the interview on YouTube and be sure to watch it until the end.
WARNING: If you are one of those sensitive souls who is easily embarassed when someone careens out of control, it won’t be pleasant to watch…

I thought the same thing. He wasn’t mature in the way he handled himself. However, I’m afraid we ae totally alone in this opinion because tons of my liberal/democratic blog friends are singing Clinton’s praises. Do yourself a favor and do not go to Jewish Atheist’s blog post about it–but I’ll send him to yours.

Yeah, “I’m the decider!” is so much more mature.
The reason your guy doesn’t talk like Clinton isn’t because he’s mature — it’s because he can barely talk, period.

I think Chris Wallace’s interview gave the rest of us a taste of the kind of man Bill Clinton proved to be when he cornered Juanita Broddrick in a Little Rock hotel in ‘78. He’s a big man, who likes to project his power.

JA–
Why can’t you admit that Clinton’s interview was uncomfortable? He did a poor job of communicating without getting wierdly undone! At lease Bush can handle a debate. Can you honestly say that Bush can’t handle a debate?
