The Most Obvious Sign That Wallace Did A Hit Job On Bill

[stopbush]

Simple - Wallace stated that Fox had agreed to spend 15 minutes talking about Clinton's CGI with another 15 minutes dedicated to anything else.

So, what does Wallace do?

He starts with two questions about CGI and allows Clinton to answer. Any GOOD, non-partisan interviewer would probably CONTINUE along those lines
and ask a few more questions about the CGI during the first 15 minute segment. After all, you're on the subject, and you've PROMISED Clinton that he would have
15 minutes to discuss the CGI (I would even posit that Clinton may have insisted on that as a pre-condition for his appearing on Fox for his first-ever
live interview).

But what did Wallace do after the first two questions? He suddenly changes course completely and goes off into a bash-Clinton agenda. He tried to get Clinton into a
comfort zone so he could all the better ambush him with a line of questioning out of left field. (Worse - and just to show what a spineless, insipid human being Wallace is -
he didn't even have the courage of his convictions to say to Clinton "I would like to ask you this question - Why didn't you do more?" No, Mr Spineless had to blame it on Fox VIEWERS
who had sent him e-mails asking "overwhelmingly" that Wallace ask Clinton that question.)

Was it really Wallace's interviewing plan to ask 2 questions about CGI (which took about 4 minutes of the interview), then go off on "other" questions for 15 minutes or so and
THEN return to the CGI topic for the final 11 minutes? No, I didn't think so, either.

A total hit job. Glad Bill called him on his BS.

1. Agree

It was the typical cheap tactic we see from Faux all the time. Clinton was justified replying the way he did...but I didn't think he was "purple faced with rage" as Drudgeywudge puts it.

Brother Bill did well.

2. It was a FAILED ATTEMPT at a hit job.

And boy did it ever fail.

3. I watched that show TWICE!

First & LAST time I intend to ever watch FOX too!

All I can say is I spent the whole time cheering BC! I'm actually GLAD that someone DID ask the question, because it's the first time BC's ever had the chance to give his side, and I LOVED IT when Bill said Look, you asked the question and your gonna get the answer!"

4. I'm not a huge fan of clinton

but it was great to see him man handle this Wallace asshole. These people hate the facts, they hate the truth. Clinton did try to kill OBL and Bush didn't.

[Whoa_Nelly]

5. Here's the deal...

Bill Clinton is one very intelligent person...FOX is just manipulated media whore, and Wallace is a tool.

6. no match for the big dog those fox hounds

7. wallace is more of the sacrificial lamb

that faux noose sent in hoping in the name of Jesus they could ambush Clinton. And the idiot wallace thought he could do it too and got his ass handed it to him.

10. Amazing how a Faux interviewer will collapse into a pile of goo

when he doesn't have 3 other RW assholes sitting next to him ready to gang up on the lone D and
shout him down.

Wallace was completely taken off guard and looked like a simpering idiot. He thought he was walking
into the safe zone that Faux News usually provides for its "talent," but he was sent into a lions den
all alone with nothing to guard him but his lily livered ideology...which Clinton demolished with
almost playful ease.

8. Agree - I'm more than certain

discussing CGI was a precondition...otherwise why appear on fux? With wallace starting the interview, Clinton was probably relieved they were honoring the agreement but lo and behold, wallace sandbags him and does a 180. Clinton was justifiably pissed; probably at himself, initially, for agreeing to anything offered by fux. Clinton just showed them up for what they are: lying, rong wing, rethugs.

9. I completely agree-I thought it was only one question

nto that I am arguing with you but yeah I guess it was two questions.

I thought the same thing. Why the quick leap to basically blaming 9/11 on Clinton??? Oh I see he thinks he can slide a bunch of inuendo into the set up and make it look like Clinton agrees. Notice that he tried also to ask another question and Bill let him ask it and then went right back to his timeline.

Hilarious

12. Clinton telling Wallace to wipe that silly smirk off his face.........

I thought I'd fall on the floor.......:woohoo::applause:

14. He sure did. It was obvious.

What's that skit that SNL did a few years ago of Clinton where he stands in the Rose Garden and says "I...AM....BULLET....PROOF". That was awesome.
