Bill Clinton, meet Captain Queeg

This is hilarious, as the American Thinker makes comparison with Clinton's Fox News interview, and a character from a classic film The Caine Mutiny:

Watching Bill Clinton on Fox News Sunday reminded me of the scene from The Caine Mutiny when Humphrey Bogart, playing Captain Queeg, was on the witness stand. The captain, after being relieved of command by his First Mate because he panicked during a storm at sea, began his testimony in a calm and controlled manner.
Soon, however, when the questions began to get tougher, Queeg showed signs of stress and began blaming everyone else for his actions. He reached into his pocket and removed a few steel balls, which he rotated in one hand as he struggled to come up with responses to the probe.


And finishes with:

He disgraced himself and his office by sticking that same finger in the face of the American people and lying when he said:
“I want you to listen to me. I did not have sex with that woman, Monica Lewinsky.”
Now, he wants to blame everyone else for his failure to protect the security of this nation because of his failure to keep his pants on.


If only Clinton had went after Bin Laden as vigorously as he attacked "right wingers" on the program.
