I'm going to agree with Anonymous who was taken aback by the editorializing posing as referencing vis a vis the Clinton/Wallace clip. It reminded me of the "over the top" comment about Keith Olbermann's critiqe of Bush. Who writes these things anyway? Could they sign their names? That way the reader is clued in about how to contextualize the contextualization. The Fix too says that Clinton's anger was terrifying. (?). I'm still furious with Clinton--I don't blame Ken Starr as much as Himself for the distractions of his presidency--but whenever I see Clinton--in Wordplay, or here, I get so nostalgic for a smart President--a President who keeps knowledge and memory of knowledge, you know, with him. And in this case, I think Clinton was absolutely right to fight back about a faulty rhetoric that is surfacing with a vengence. And I loved his "little smirk" remark. I bet that Chris Wallace gets self-conscious about his facial responses now.
