unity does not mean "shut up while we do this"

So, lots of people on the news are talking about that Bill Clinton interview, and to hear these anchors say it, our former president lost his mind after Fox News reporter Chris Wallace asked, "Why didn't you do more to catch Bin Laden." He's "combative." He's "defensive." Whatever you got to do to downplay the actual content of the interview.

Say what you want, Clinton makes several great points, including why Fox News isn't asking this very same question of the Bush administration, the same group of people that didn't even mention the guy in public for two years. But apparently even a former president of the United States can't call out Fox News for being decisively pro-Bush. Even Rush Limbaugh was working himself up into a frothy rage, trying to remember the last time any member of an administration got a little pushy with an interviewer. He couldn't come up with any, so I'd like to help him.



And now I'm reading over the wire that Condi Rice is going after Clinton for the remarks he made. Really? Is this the same woman that got the memo in August 2001 that bin Laden was going to attack us soon and did nothing? I'm sure the bin Laden trail is red hot now, Condi, considering the United States intelligence community cannot confirm or deny the report that the dude who planned the worst terrorist attack in our country's history may have died of natural causes.

Our intelligence community has to wait for bin Laden to make another videotape to find out if he's alive or not. That's how close they are to finding him. Read that last bit over again, lather it up, rinse and repeat. I'm so glad our country is safer with these people in charge.

Also, while I'm feeling particularly liberal today, Jerry Falwell, if you really want to compare elected leaders, flesh-and-blood humans mind you, to Satan himself, I think you're a bit late to that party.
