Thwack Looks Thwackier With Video

I've seen the video now of Bill Clinton's de-pantsing of Chris Wallace on Fox News this morning. They let the entire interview play, since once the transcript got out it was impossible to do otherwise. But it ended up looking really really bad for Wallace and Fox News, in my opinion (though I admit to maybe being biased). It was especially amusing to see Wallace punt on that important question about whether he's ever asked a Bush Administration official why they never did anything about the USS Cole, or why they demoted Richard Clarke. He had to punt because, as Think Progress discovered by going to the transcripts, he NEVER ASKED ANYONE about either issue.

Clinton didn't really look angry so much as in command of the facts, and unwilling to let smirky little twerp Wallace get away with the bullshit he serves up on a weekly basis.

They devoted practically their entire panel defending themselves and discussing the Clinton years. Pathetic, defensive, and that's pretty much how it looked. If Fox, or Wallace, takes anything away from this, it's not to play gotcha with someone smarter than you.
