My favorite quote is, "You got that little smirk on your face - you think you're so clever." Although that probably won't play well to the other side and is easily spun. Still, it's great. 
He asks his question at 3:30. In part 2 it gets particularly interesting at 4:40.
Clinton mentions that Fox does not ask the same questions of Ds and Rs. He points out that he tried to get Bin Laden many times, that Richard Clark and he told the new administration that terrorism would be their #1 priority, which they ignored, and then demoted Clark. He mentions that all the right wingers used to criticize him for spending so much time on Bin Laden and now they say he didn't do enough.
I'm glad he agreed to go on there because Wallace (smirky pants) was forced to be respectful because of Clinton's status. That is not the case with other Dems that wind up on the network. It is also interesting that Wallace denied that there was any spin to the questions they ask. Oddly, he asked Clinton "Why didn't you do enough to get Bin Laden?" instead of, "What did you do to get Bin Laden?", which would have been a more neutral, less accusatory question. He either does not get this distinction or is content to lie to an ex-president regarding his intentions. What a hack.

Wallace also bagged on his own father, Mike Wallace of CBS's 60 minute saying he was suffering from Alzheimer's because Mike came out against the war. I'll post that little beauty later if you're interested.
I was so glad to see Clinton lay it down on what Fox News is. He also admitted that he felt that he had made mistakes.
