The Fox News video clip appeared on YouTube shortly after and faster than you can say “conservative hit job” the video became the most viewed video of the day and week with over 750,000 views.

Clinton had planned to discuss his Global Initiative during the interview and when Fox host Chris Wallace strayed from the issue Clinton got angry. 

"Why didn't you do more, connect the dots and put them out of business?" Wallace asked Clinton, referring to efforts to stop Osama Bin Laden pre-9/11.

In an impassioned answer that has been described as everything from Cruise-worthy to chastising, Clinton confronted the host and defended himself.

"I want to know how many people in the Bush administration you asked this question of? And you've got that little smirk on your face and you think you're so clever. But I had responsibility for trying to protect this country. I tried and I failed to get bin Laden. I regret it,"

Over 1 million people searched for Clinton Vs. Wallace blogs following the interview. Liberal bloggers were happy to see the Democrat fighting back, while conservative bloggers suggested the former president was rewriting history. And more than a few bloggers on both sides thought the whole thing was planned.

This clip was this week’s hottest political YouTube video and it even made Fox nervous enough to remove their content from the site stating a copyright violation. However, Fox choose to reinstate the video.

Smart move, Fox.
