As noted earlier, advance accounts say Bill Clinton lost it under persistent questioning by David Dimbleby in a BBC interview to be broadcast Tuesday in the U.K. BBC's Panorama has posted two video clips as teasers here, and it looks like the entire program may be archived here after a few weeks.
The snippets published so far are as self-serving as one would expect from surely our most narcissistic president.
Bill Clinton has said his relationship with White House intern Monica Lewinsky came at a time when he was under huge pressure as president. He told the BBC that his "old demons" surfaced and led him into the affair.The interview was recorded ahead of Monday's publication of Mr Clinton's autobiography, My Life.
"It happened at a time when I was angry, I was under stress, I was afraid I was going to lose my fight with the Republican Congress," said Mr Clinton.
"As I said, I was in this titanic fight for the future of the country, [emphasis added] and an inevitable fight with my old demons. So I won the public fight and lost the private one."
So, it took Newt Gingrich to get him to cave in to dem bad ole "demons?"
