Wild Bill takes down Wallace/Fox, reminding of a smarter, happier, more promising time.
As a speaker, Clinton is just so articulate -- he can answer a nasty question, expose the false assumptions behind the question, demonstrate their falsity, provide evidence that something else was true instead, and then (!) redirect the conversation to the point he was trying to make all along. He's got a super grasp of details, facts, history, and the ability to organize that information and present it quickly and clearly. He sees the minefields in the questions and steps right around them, all the while projecting earnestness and faith in the listener's ability to reason and reflect, regardless of their politics. A lesson, here. I wish I were still teaching -- I'd spent a class dissecting the interview, looking at how and why Clinton was so effective.
