You folks who watch TV probably already knew this, but Bill Clinton actually did wag his finger at us in an attempt at morally-superior, above-the-fray admonishment. Here’s the video.
My mistake was in thinking the Times’ "finger-wagging" reference was to the
radio interview, which means I read it too fast the first time. This was in response to the radio interview. Or in response to the response — whatever.
Yeah, you can miss stuff, not watching TV. But it’s usually not anything worth seeing… it’s mostly just tit-for-tat, tat-for-tit, nonsense feeding upon itself.
You know, if Bill keeps this up, I’m going to have to give him his own category here on the blog…

He wagged it with complete authority, though.
The finger is not what got him in trouble.It was letting the wrong head do his thinking.
Slugger,
We could all put your analysis to the test on a political blog for and by women.
Did he bite his lower lip, or brush away a tear? When you see him do these things along WITH the finger wag, THEN you know he’s telling the truth. David
Dave/id,
I don’t know. But he didn’t squint his left eye to feign forthrightness like a certain person did for their “I’m going to run for governor of SC” photo in the Charleston Post a few weeks back.
To Whom It May Concern:
In response to that “I’m going to run for governor of SC” photo — I say, like hell you are.
That finger wagging video is priceless. He wagged it twice, just in that one snippet.
I think he just REALLY REALLY misses the spotlight, don’t you all agree? Would it be legal for him to be Hillary’s VP? Come on, give a geezer a thrill…
…but I *would* like to hear more about that “and he said ‘no’ ” conversation with Jesse.
