You Wouldn't Like Bill Clinton When He's Angry

Not that you'd like him any other time.

(CNN) – Bill Clinton became visibly upset Wednesday over comments by a prominent South Carolina Democrat that compared the former president's actions on the trail to those of infamous Republican strategist Lee Atwater.

In an interview with CNN's Jessica Yellin, Dick Harpootlian, a former chairman of the South Carolina Democratic Party and a supporter of Barack Obama, said some of Bill Clinton's recent remarks on the campaign trail were appeals based on race and gender. He said the comments were meant to "suppresses the vote, demoralize voters, and distort the record," and said they were "reminiscent of Lee Atwater."

Clinton sharply disputed the charge, and lashed out at Yellin for raising the question.

"You live for this. This hurts the people of South Carolina," he said. "Because the people of South Carolina come to these meetings and ask questions about what they care about. And what they care about is not what's going to be in the news coverage tonight, because you don't care about it.

"What you care about is this. And the Obama people know that. So they just spin you up on this and you happily go along. I mean, the people don't care about this," he added. "They never ask about it. And you are determined to take this election away from them. And that's not right. That is not right. This election ought to belong to those people who are out here asking questions about their lives." (H/T - CNN)

Bubba knows that he flipped out over a CNN reporter, right? I mean, she was from the Clinton News Network; the station that kissed his ever-growing ass since 1992. This is a classic Clinton Clan ploy: rip someone in the press, then when called on it, either claim you were misquoted, or the public isn't smart enough to understand what they meant.

If those methods fail simply attack an unsuspecting reporter. Rinse, and repeat.
