When did Clinton join the WWF, and the SmackDown move to Fox?

After the Israel / Hezbollah war, when most of those making sense (i.e. that I agreed with) were on the right side of the fence politically.

But, things have quieted down, so it's back to internal US politics for now. Which means lies, more lies, and the Republican effort to guide the world with "truthiness". I can't say for sure, but I guess they think it's easier to make stuff up, and then invent the stories to support it, then to actually deal with what's happened, and their part in it. Gheez - reminds me of a lot of the idiot managers at the company I work for - easier to whitewash the BS that happened then to fess up that it came from them.

Not a regular Fox News watcher (since "Fox News" has become as oxy-moronic as "Jumbo Prawns"), I didn't catch Clinton on Fox News Sunday (transcript here), but did see the Video on Think Progress

Short review:
(a) Bill Clinton is, and was, a much more intelligent and informed speaker than George W. Bush is, was, or ever will be.
(b) Despite his peccadilloes, he still has more honesty and integrity than, hehe, that mistake for a homo sapien.
(c) Chris Wallace, the Fox News interviewer, thought he (Chris) would get a slam dunk out of his "why didn't you take care of Osama Bin Laden" slam to President Clinton. But Chris forgot something very important - make sure you got a better game than your opposition. Unlike Shrub, nobody ever accused Slick Willy of being an idiot, or even just average thinker. If you're going to invite a moderate-liberal onto the most right leaning main stream media news show, and expect to sucker punch him (or her), then pick someone who hasn't been around the block as much as President Clinton.

Chris got schooled. He's just lucky he's not Bill's type, and the only stains on his clothes afterwards were in his jockeys, and not down the front of his shirt!
