With the media hyping up the supposed "crazy" actions of Bill Clinton I watched the interview and actually what I thought was "crazy" was Clinton was actually telling the truth and not backing down. He is absolutely right about Fox news and thier "conservative hit job" (conservatives need to watch the documentary on HBO about Barry Goldwater to remember what it is to actually be a concervative but that's a whole different topic) and his efforts to get Osama Bin Laden how quickly people forget the past... At Least Clinton Tried. It's better to have tried and failed (Clinton) rather than never try at all (Bush) , right?

    What wasn't crazy was Clinton in the interview. What was crazy was the "fair and balanced" hatchet job on it.

    agreeded, the daily show tore them apart (as usual) when showing clips with random people-who almost exsclusivly seemed to be from fox- saying he was beligerant et all, funny stuff.

    If Clinton was half the man his wife is, he'd be somewhat relevant and respectable. Seems he cries like a girl to me. But if I had married that hag, I'd be bitter and a tad whiny too. ;)

    Olbermann is a whiny douche. I didn't like him when he eas a second-rate sportscaster. Now I really can't stand him - does he talk about anything else but Bush? Nope.

    Someone has to call Bush out on his bullshit. I admit that Olbermann can get a little dramatic, but then again, drastic times call for drastic measures.

    What Olbermann does isn't novel at all. He is so pompous, he thinks he's the second coming of Edward R. Murrow. Instead, he comes off like a blithering idiot, which he is.

    the flip side to that coin is having someone call out Clinton. you think Oberman would ask those same questions? the answer is no. I think both men, Clinton and Bush, are pissed off they didnt get OBL.

    I dont respect Olbermann and Wallace is a dorky, little weasel. It was an unprofessional interview and I dont understand why Dems keep going on Fox. Wallace had a series of loaded questions he wanted to rattle off and had no interest in the responses.

    I believe that had Olbermann been in the spot he is now (was he in 2000?), and had the chance to interview Clinton he would come out and ask about the scandal or anything else. I think Olbermann has always been one to call it as he sees it. He didn't bring up this extreme "cause" until things got way out of hand with this administration. Now, like President Clinton said, would Fox News pose those questions to Bush?

    Bill Oreilly asked some hard questions, such as

    O'REILLY: What happened to Saddam's chemical arsenal? Do you know?

    while the interview wasnt as tough as it should have been, I would bet Bush will get these same tough questions on why he didnt get OBL in 2009 or 2010 when he is out of office like Clinton. its harder to drill a president still in office as opposed to being out of it for some time. plus he still has about a year to get him. and republican or democrat, im sure you hope he does.

    I read the interview, and I think the question asked is what we call a softball question. If he were as direct as Wallace the question would have been, "How did your administration come up with so much faulty information, which has led us into a war with over 2,000 U.S. soldiers lives lost"

    How very mature of you. I guess this is expected from an Olbermann fan.

    he will get those for sure. its hard and maybe even unprofessional to drill a sitting president. its open season for him when his term is over.

    By nature, his comments are not substantive. Thus my "douche" response seems proportionate.

    You know me so well. I read his comments whenever they're posted on msnbc. They are childish and ignorant, and very entertaining.
