Clinton, as always, talks about Clinton

Were he not such a classless, self-promoting revisionist, I could almost tolerate former president Bill Clinton. But he is, and I can’t. Clinton’s latest effort to restore himself from what will always be his legacy of creepy behavior is his appearance on Fox News Sunday.

Here, host Chris Wallace asks Mr. Clinton if he had done enough to catch bin Laden. First, I think he doth protest too much. Next, notice in the 21 seconds of Clinton talking, he uses the pronoun “I” and “me” 6 times. It’s always about Bill. He shows up at a funeral and instead of talking about the deceased, he talks about himself. He always talks about himself.

What Clinton might have tried is something along the lines of:

“Look, everyone in my administration did their very best. We did not have the benefit of perfect hindsight. Like 99% of Americans, we did not appreciate the depths of evil which bin Laden was capable. It’s a bit disingenuous, after the fact, to show where the strong man stumbled or where the man in the ring failed. In hindsight, could we have done more to get bin Laden? Of course. With the benefit of knowing what would happen, would we have done more? Of course. But we did not have the benefit knowing how things would turn out. So ask the critics, ‘What were you doing prior to 9-11 to get bin Laden or prevent 19 lunatics from flying planes into buildings and the ground?’ For 99.9% of us, sadly, the answer is nothing. And so, we paid the price on 9-11.”

But for Clinton, it’s always all about Clinton.
