Video: Bill Clinton Delivers TKO To Fox News' Chris Wallace

Well, here is the much-hyped Fox News interview with former President Clinton. The clip I post below is not the full interview; it is merely the section of the interview where Wallace confronts Clinton with the "Path To 9/11" spin. I assume this is what people want to see most. For the full interview, go here:
-Part 1
-Part 2

I do recommend Part 2, where Clinton discusses the elections and the GOP fear campaigns.



Besides the intelligence and passion Clinton brings to this interview, this is also what makes it stand out to me: He does not hesitate to admit he made mistakes and does not try to claim some nonexistent victory. Still, he defends his record as it is, using the facts and history instead of the reasonless emotional appeal we get from our current President. Secondly, he isn't shy about calling Wallace out on the partisan context in which this line of questioning arose. At the end, Wallace, who seem shocked that Bill Clinton would react so passionately to this sandbagging, says the interview was one of his more "unusual"... meaning Fox News and their followers are so used to dealing with wimpy Colmes-faux-Democrats, who are no more than punching bags for the Hannitys of the media, that when actually confronted with a real Democrat, it it a shock for them. And if you watch the second part of the interview, linked above, you can further see a man dedicated in his retirement to dealing with pressing global issues.

Kudos to Bill Clinton for reminding us that the Democratic Party is very much alive and kicking. It made this ol' cynic crack a smile. More of this, please.

UPDATE: Why didn't I expect this- The backlast begins. In addition to media coverage obsessed with the most unimportant details of this noteworthy interview, the Murdoch-owned NY Post spoke with Condoleeza Rice to rebut the Clinton interview. She stated that he was wrong about the current administration's pre-9/11 activities, insisting that the 9/11 Commission (you know, the one her and her boss fought at every turn) confirmed they did a good job. I won't waste much space on all this (it's starting to bore me), but do want to note that Think Progress debunks alot of this- here, here, and here.
