Bizarre moments in television
This is what we're still up against. The fretards will never quit.

CNN whore Judy 'sit and rotate' Woodruff 'interviews' Clinton White House spokesman Joe Lockhart and David Bossie, the House investigator during the Clinton impeachment process:

WOODRUFF: Joe, why wouldn't this turn out to be just another - another polarizing aspect of the life of Hillary and Bill Clinton?

LOCKHART: Because all the people who have made their lives and their careers going after the Clintons don't have a say here. This is her say. This is her telling the story. And I'm not surprised that anyone's shocked by the omissions. I'm shocked by the fact that people still won't stand up today and say, you know, we took a look at everything. We looked under every rock and we found nothing.

BOSSIE: That's because that's not true, unfortunately.

LOCKHART: Well, we can debate this all we want, but a lot of people who have less of a partisan bent than you looked at this, they found nothing. The RTC found nothing. And people need to - particularly in the media, who are supposed to be impartial, should read this book, look at it and stand up and say, you know, we made a mistake. We went after this too hard, we fell for the leaks, we fell for the falsehoods that were out there, and we're going to do better next time.
......

BOSSIE: Hillary in this book is trying to make The New York Times, ABC and CNN News part of that vast right-wing conspiracy that she talked about with Matt Lauer those many years ago. And it's just not accurate. Good reporters do their research. And they know what documents say, and that's really what Hillary Clinton's problem is. Look, she didn't cover the Whitewater billing records well enough, she didn't cover a lot of issues directly related to Whitewater.

LOCKHART: See I think your committee in particular, if you'd been straight with the American people, we would have all been a lot better off, but we got selective leaks, we had doctored audiotapes from Web Hubbell. So please, a lecture from you on honesty here is a little rich.

BOSSIE: Oh, Joe. Let me tell you, any type of honesty coming from the Clintons is a stretch.

LOCKHART: Let's talk about this. There's something in the book here. Give me your boss' justification for doing what he did to the Foster family? Going in the backyard and shooting a watermelon. He made a joke of Congress, a joke of the system. We all know that. This is her time to tell her story without the ridiculous and absurdity that came from over here.

BOSSIE: Joe, totally, I agree with you that there were some things that were out of bounds. But the facts are what they are, and that's the problem.

LOCKHART: The facts are what they are. The RTC looked at it and they said there was nothing wrong with Whitewater. The independent...

BOSSIE: It's the same old spin.

LOCKHART: It's not spin. It's a fact. Read it. The independent counsel came out and said there was nothing there.
........

LOCKHART: Hillary's had her chance to put her side of the story out. And you know what? There's a lot of people saying, what did we get so worked out about?

WOODRUFF: And you're saying that puts it to rest.

LOCKHART: Sure.

WOODRUFF: And you're saying it doesn't.

BOSSIE, who obviously has anal issues: Because people like myself are going to go through this book and find the factual errors, find the lies, and are going to...

LOCKHART: My advice for people like you is get a life. Get a life.

Word.
