A tale of two Bills – Clinton v. Frist

So today we got to see Chris Wallace interview Bill Clinton.

Notes:

  • It is good to know that at least some politicians will answer the fricken question.
  • Chris Wallace asked a fair question and I think he got a great answer.
  • Clinton seemed (quite right rightly, I think) to be ticked off that Bush and friends always seem to want to blame Clinton for not preventing 9-11.
  • It is about time the Democrats start answering those questions as strongly and directly as Clinton did on Fox today.
  • Democrats wake up – this is a real-deal president giving you a hint. Smack!

Then there is Bill Frist doing his best to dodge and weave over on ABC. I don’t watch that show, so I was unaware of the interview untill I saw it on Crooks and Liars (who has a video of Bill Frists’s  “interview without answers”) Noteable in the comment section is a comment that must be quoted:

Is this gonna be the standard operating procedure from here on out?

Everytime a report from the reality based community theatens to damage the Neo-Cons calm, all you have to do is go on the Sunday morning shows and say that you haven’t seen the report yet.

Commentator: Senator/Veep/Madam Secretary, this report contradicts everything you’ve ever said in public.

Senator/Veep/Madam Secretary: I haven’t seen it yet.

Commentator: Well then. I you haven’t seen it, then I guess that settles it. Sorry to wake up so early in the morning on a weekend.

Senator/Veep/Madam Secretary: No Problemo!

Commentator: By the way… What’s your favorite color?

Yeeshhh!!
