BILL CLINTON AND FOX

I missed the Fox interview.  It was the second day of Rosh Hashana and I was at services.  What a day to miss the Sunday talk shows!  If you haven’t seen or read the encounter between Chris Wallace and Bill Clinton, you can read and watch it all here on AlterNet.  Wallace asked the former President about terrorism and he really let him have it.  It’s tough to watch because in some ways he seems to go over the top but it also was a great relief to hear him – if you have fond memories of those years — finally answer the criticism aimed at him.  I have always been frustrated by the Orwellian skills of the right in dealing with the redefinition of reality.  Whether you agree with them or whether you don’t — the language that they use often serves their issues more than it serves the truth. 

If it’s something that interests you — take a look at these pieces about it.
