DRUDGE: Clinton Meltdown? Or Savvy Political Positioning? (AUDIO)

Posted on September 25, 2006

Mat Dudge joins others in asserting that Clinton’s anger was likely scripted political strategy — a move to position the Clinton’s as vicitims of the right-wingers at FOX NEWS and therefore neutralize FOX’s ability to criticize Hillary during her presidential run.

Drudge opines in the 10:30 - 11:00 segment of his radio show.

Wow. Everything must be blamed on clinton. Including clinton being sandbagged.

It just can’t be that he’s able to respond to a surprise this well.

Including clinton being sandbagged.
Sandbagged? Clinton agreed to a thirty minute interview, with the stipulation that he would control 15 for his “Global Initiative” and Wallace 15, with nothing off-limits.

Too bad his PR guy didn’t see it the way you did. He kept nudging the FOX rep., telling him to kill the interview.

“Sandbagged? Clinton agreed to a thirty minute interview, with the stipulation that he would control 15 for his “Global Initiative” and Wallace 15, with nothing off-limits.”

So, you tell me that clinton actually was in control for the whole time, having planned this?

I’ll admit a PR person would prefer the question and answer don’t get asked. I don’t trust PR people. They’re the types of slime that call this a ‘meltdown.’

If Clinton really was “sandbagged,” then that only shows the kind of softball interviews that he’s been getting his whole career. Compare that to the one-hour shellacing that Tim Russert — of LBJ’s administration — gave Bush a couple years ago.

Wallace’s ONE QUESTION was not only fair and obvious, but easy to answer honestly.
