Re: the Clinton tantrum, Iโm not sure it has to be an either /or thing. Isnโt it possible that Clinton, already stiff under the collar about Path to 9/11, planned on hammering Wallace if asked about this stuff and when the opportunity came he couldnโt keep it together? I know that when somethingโs really bugging me I often daydream about delivering a devastating response only to get too emotional about it or appear to be too angry. For several years when I did that Sunday show on CNN with Julianne Malveaux the last words from my sagacious wife as I head out the door were โdonโt let them make you angry.โ I suspect that Clinton wanted to prove he was a fighting Dem but when he opened the floodgates the wheels came off the bus. And yes, darn it, I am fully aware of the mixed metaphor. You want to make something of it?
