Still more Clinton/Wallace…
The Chicago Tribune’s Phil Rosenthal writes about the Bill Clinton/Chris Wallace interview and all the publicity it’s generated for FNC…
One week later and people are still talking about Bill Clinton ripping Fox News.
Fox News boss Roger Ailes is delighted.
“I would have paid him 100 grand to help us with marketing, just to get a half-hour of his time,” Ailes said by phone Thursday. “As it turned out, I got a half-hour of his time and he did it for nothing. We’re very grateful. … He’s kept us in the news for six days.
“It’s an amazing thing. And in light of that I would extend my hand to ask him to come on as a guest anytime. I would even consider him having a show.”
Told of this, a Clinton spokesman laughed. “Can you just say that’s my response?” he said.
Time for Clinton to cool off. He does not have the reservoir of statesmanship needed to handle a simple question. He needs to concentrate on that World Initiative to repair the damage he did as president. Another blow-up like that Fox interview and his legacy as the The Angry Man will be firmly established.

Clinton’s interview makes FOX look a lot worse and that is hard to do.
