When Clinton and Oprah Collide
Last night I was surfing my channel guide and saw that Bill Clinton was on the nightly replay of the Oprah show. The last time I watched Oprah on purpose (as opposed to in a waiting room at the doctor’s office or at my mom’s house) was when she had Condoleeza Rice on the show. Before that, it was probably the show with George Bush that I last saw. Anyway, I decided to check it out.
The only words that come to mind are sad and pathetic. I couldn’t watch the whole thing. The largely female audience (I don’t remember seeing any men) clapped wildly every time Clinton railed against those horrible Republicans that were hounding him because they couldn’t get any of the other scandals to stick since he was totally exonerated of any wrongdoing in all of them. He didn’t mention that criminal referrals were made, but not acted on by Janet Reno. Instead, in his version of history he was found completely innocent of everything except the Monica indiscretion. It was sad and pathetic. Of course, Oprah didn’t know any real facts, just the spin the Democrats fed the media for the past six years, so she did little more than nod her head in agreement. I watched about 20 minutes of it and that was all I could stand, but Lucianne Goldberg hung in there for the entire show and gives her impressions here.
