Bill Clinton on Fox News:
Perhaps the only Fox News segment I'll ever ask you to watch. It reminded
me of Jon Stewart
on CNN's Crossfire. It's the same sort of unscripted and
self-referential television that totally breaks our elaborate system of
one-directional meme delivery. You can't really tell people what to think
when someone on the screen is calling "Bullshit," can you?
Maybe I'm reading into it too much. But boy do I miss having a president
capable of winning a debate and thinking on his feet.
Can you think of more instances of newsworthy deviations from television
scripts? Political / current events stuff, in particular. Kanye West's "George Bush doesn't care about black people"
is another perfect example. Send me links, videos, or ideas. I'd like to make
a compilation disc, for posterity's sake. Or maybe just for laughs. But
it would still be cool.
