Clinton Spins

I had better things to do over the weekend that listen to Bill Clinton try to defend his record of inaction against al Qaeda, but Patterico took the time to show that once again, Bill Clinton is much more interested in imparting spin to defend his miserable record than accept fault for his failures in defending America from Osama bin Laden's al Qaeda network of terrorists.

Chris Wallace asked Bill Clinton a very simple, straightforward question of why he didn't do more to get bin Laden, and in response, Clinton accused Wallace of a "conservative hit job."

Mr. Clinton, asking you why you didn't do more is a legitimate question when thousands of people were injured and hundreds killed on attacks against U.S. targets in 1998 and 2000 while you were President.

You admitted you failed, Mr. Clinton. You should have stopped there.

He must have inhaled before the interview.

How many very similar questions has Bush had to endure from the likes of Dick Gregory, Helen Thomas, et. al.?

For Clinton to "meltdown" and impugn Wallace's integrity and motives shows that he has far less class or character that Bush.
