His hands began to shake and his face reddened [UPDATED]

For over a year I have dismissed the conventional wisdom that Hillary was unbeatable in '08. I have also asserted for over two years and more that Bill Clinton was now only the Willie part of Slick Willie and that a skeletons in the closet general election campaign could be a threat to his life. It looks like his wife may be spared a general election campaign, but his life appears to be in jeopardy sooner than I thought as
The Picture of Dorian Gray makes another appearance on Charlie Rose:
In a Charlie Rose interview, President Clinton goes negative on Senator Obama and his "roll-the-dice" supporters, adding, "The Obama people got the press on their side."
The Atlantic's Marc Ambinder: "Toward the end of the interview, his hands began to shake and his face reddened as he discussed the political thicket his wife finds herself in." Rose indicates on air that Clinton aides in the booth are trying to cut off the interview.
Imagine what would happen if he ever had to undergo questioning from a non-liberal shill. Why, he might poke someone in the knee.
[UPDATE]
More details on Rose interview that aired on some PBS stations last night
In a hard-changing interview with Charlie Rose tonight, Bill Clinton said Americans who are prepared to choose someone with less experience, are prepared to "roll the dice" about the future of America. "It's less predictable, isn't it? When is the last time we elected a president based on one year of service before he's running?"
"What do you want to do -- whether you think it matters that, I mean, in theory, no experience matters," Clinton said. "In theory, we could find someone who is a gifted television commentators and let them run. They'd have only one year less experience in national politics..."
And Clinton said the notion that experience led the politicians to sanction the Iraq War is "absurd."
"That's like saying that because 100% of the malpractice cases are committed by doctors, the next time I need surgery, I'll get a chef or a plumber to do it."
Towards the end of the interview, Rose indicated that Clinton's staff was asking producers in his show's control room to get them to have Rose end the interview.
And Clinton said: "Somebody will parse this interview..." to take his quotes out of context. "It is stupid... I think we are fortunate in having people..I think the relevant question from me is, who will be the best president who has a proven record of making change in the lives of other people."
They may parse his body language. Toward the end of the interview, his hands began to shake and his face reddened as he discussed the political thicket his wife finds herself in.

Didn't Bill win in 1992 because he was the unknown, inexperienced, outsider candidate? Didn't he win because Americans rolled the dice about the future of America?
It's too funny to have him trying to argue that the more experienced candidate (Hillary, as if she has any executive experience beyond being first lady for eight years) should win and the unknown, inexperienced, outsider candidate would just be a scary roll of the dice.
I continue to believe that Bill will help to bring down her candidacy either in the primaries or in the general. Interviews such as this need to happen regularly. Keep talking Bill, you know you can't live out of the limelight.
of his generation. He never has been, but he has gotten worse as he's listened to the media and taken their hagiography to heart.
the pardon disgrace and then 911, plus his refusal to repent for his sins
he is a tortured soul

Remember ol' Bill asking the definition of "is?" How about him looking red and perspired under questioning? Not to mention his boldfaced lie to the American people. They don't even have Nixon on tape doing that.
Ah, the Clintons. We should hope that Hillary gets the nomination, the negative ads will write themselves. Swiftboating? How about Billboating?

I think Clinton would be much better on foreign policy (Obama = Carter), but Obama doesn't stand as good a chance of making it into office.
Well, I guess I'm scared enough of both of them that it doesn't matter which one worries me more!

Don't underestimate Obama's chances of winning. Being an empty suit doesn't hurt so much when you have everybody in the MSM (and Oprah!) on your side. Not having any experience is helpful in that he also doesn't have that much radicalism on the record for us to nail him with. Then there's the likability factor, where he has a huge advantage over Clinton. I'm hoping for Hillary, myself. I think we got a better shot to beat her AND I think she wouldn't be as bad as Obama in office.

are running as liberals because the only Dems that ever win the presidency are those that hide their liberalism. The Dems stupidly rejected Bill Clinton centrism. Why? Because libs have so much power in the culture, they resent not wielding it in government. They lost the House due to Clinton and the Dem House showing their true colors. Clinton moved to the center and he basically told the libs to shut up for 6 years in exchange for protecting the abortion sacrament of the church of liberalism. By 2000 their pent up rage came out. Gore even ran as a lib.
Then they get the bloody shirt of Florida and go stark raving mad due to Gore's shameful withdrawal of concession.
Now, they are also fooled into thinking that they can overtly sell liberalism. They are fooled by Bush polls (despite losing in 2004 to him) and the msm echos. They are fooled by their historically weak Year Six grievance election.
They will have a huge comeuppance in 2008 when the not attentive silent majority discovers what they are and rejects people that want to raise taxes, lose wars, appease evil and are hostile to faith.
I know. I was a loser Dem for years that knew we couldn't win unless we hid the liberalism.

Just watched some extended segments from the Charlie Rose show. I mean he just rambles on and on, sometimes incoherently. He is red faced and shaking.
I think this is a very troubled guy. It will be interesting to see if he just explodes at some point.
All reports indicate that Bill is playing an ever larger role in Hill's campaign, maybe to the point of running it.
If so they might just as well tie an anchor around one of her chubby ankles and dump her in the Potomac.
Bill is losing his always tenuous grip on sanity, he craves the WH and views it as slipping away.
Stay tuned and informed, this Clinton thing could get even funnier.

I'd love to see the tape of it if it did.
