Charlie Rose’s interview with Bill Clinton at his own Clinton Global Initiative summit was, not surprisingly, full of easy questions but the PBS host saved his loftiest softball for the last question when he basically called Clinton the “best political animal” of all time.
In closing his interview, aired on the September 26, 2014 edition of PBS’s Charlie Rose show, the host couldn’t resist heaping this last bit of praise onto the impeached President:
CHARLIE ROSE: So I close with this - there is no one I know in politics from the left, the right, Republican, Democrat, male or female that doesn’t say Bill Clinton is the best political animal that’s ever been in American politics and certainly in - for as long as they can remember. Tell me what you think that’s about? Why does everybody have that opinion of you as a political person?
