SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!

[ellenfl]

1. no kidding! eom

[Avalux]

2. Sheesh! What did he just call Clinton?

Purple what?? He's pissing me off. x(

[Sydnie]

7. "purple fits"

He said that is what they call it when he "goes off" like that. Bastard.

[Gabi Hayes]

10. purple fit: "the unattractive side"

how DARE he show any emotion in the face of/aftermath of an unending inquistion/smear campaign of FIFTEEN YEARS?

how dare he

what a dick that little dick is

[Avalux]

14. I didn't expect a smear from Alter.

Must be a personal thing; maybe he does have a little dick (sorry). ;)

[Gabi Hayes]

20. he made it pretty clear that he's personally experienced the fiery

side of WJC's personality

too fffin' bad.

how come nobody brings up the disgusting swearing fits (see H2O Man's blog today: it leads with an instance of Bush's filthy mouth)for which the chimp is renowned, and should have been common knowledge, since Tucker Carlson's reporting back in 1999 (Talk Magazine)

[BootinUp]

3. Usually hes ok, what happened?

[CatWoman]

6. taking up for Chris Wallace

and saying Clinton "lost his temper"

[Gold Metal Flake]

4. Too late. He's whorin' for the Nazis.

"Purple fits". Can we get some confirmation that that phrase was actually in use in the Clinton White House? Like not just made up five minutes ago?

[Avalux]

17. I know! I've NEVER heard that before.

if it was a common nickname, it would have come out long ago.

[TahitiNut]

27. The Whoreporate Right has used that term about Democrats, not just Bill

The Wall Street Journal peddled that term and applied it to Governor Gray Davis.
http://www.opinionjournal.com/politicaldiary/?id=110004122

It was used by Bob Woodward (who, not ever original, probably lifted it out of Christopher Anderson's 1998 gossip novel) in sliming the Clinton Adminstration and is being peddled by Mr. Boehner even today.

[Sydnie]

5. Thank You!

what the fuck is his problem? Purple fits, huh? What do they call it when blivet** had his daily meltdowns? Nap time, no doubt.

[shoopnyc]

8. Complete Idiot!

[TheDebbieDee]

9. I agree............

His spin tries to make it seem as though the Big Dog became completely unhinged during the faux interview.

This is the first time I can recall Alter doing the right-wingers bidding. They must have found dirt on him during the NSA domestic data mining activities!

[shoopnyc]

11. And Keith SHUT HIM DOWN! eom

[CatWoman]

13. yup

BC went into the room to be interview by Keith right after the Fox interview.

Keith said he wasn't angry, and didn't set any "parameters" for the interview.

Didn't even mention Fox.

[Pithy Cherub]

12. Can I get an AMEN!

STFU Alter, you feed off the trough of the inside the beltway BS!

[H2O Man]

15. Altered states ...

he admitted that Clinton yelled at him yearts ago. He hasn't gotten over it. He is hardly objective.

I, for one, am glad Clinton yelled at him.

[cadmium]

16. I have a response

Of course Clinton lost his temper. He should damn well lose his temper. That is the only way to get through to hack apologists for Bush and his murderous regime.

[TahitiNut]

18. Remember, the corporate press had it out for Clinton from day #1

The (so-called) "professional print media" looked down their noses at Clinton for the very beginning in New Hampshire. Virtually every write-up included demeaning and condescending remarks included - it was absolutely toxic. Newsweek was near the head of the pack and always had been - but it's part of the "GE/NBC 'family'" so that's what Keith has to work with.

[BootinUp]

19. He did say the merits were on Clintons side.

I don't see his comments as all that bad.

[oasis]

24. I'll give J.A. that much. He wasn't out to do a hatchet job on BC. (eom)

[tnlefty]

21. OT: I was just going to ask if he's been ill. I saw him on booknotes this

weekend and he was singing the praises of FDR in relation to a book he's written about him. He looked puffy and swollen and his hair was missing.

So could this fit he had have been drug induced? Or the result of drugs? :crazy:

I agree, STFU!

[CatWoman]

22. I think he's a cancer survivor

[tnlefty]

23. Thank you. That's the first thought that came into my mind when I saw

how he looked.

[Purveyor]

25. Bastard just shilling for "face time" on Faux... n/t

[speedoo]

26. IIRC, he went after Clinton pretty hard re. MonicaGate.

Methinks Jonathan has less objectivity than required re. Mr. Clinton.
