Bill Clinton Video -- He Introduces Pedro, MTV Film On the HIV/AIDS Activist Airs Tonight at 8

If you've got Logo, the LGBT network on cable, watch it on that, okay? Because, well, just because I said. Same time, 8 om, only on Logo, and then maybe you get used to watching some stuff on that channel and you click over there from time to time just to see what's shakin'.

Even you heterosexuals. I promise it won't make you gay. That recruiting thing people allege? Doesn't work, really.

I Just Got a Bill Clinton "No on 8" Robocall

Now that's a step toward apologizing for the travesty that is Don't Ask, Don't Tell.

Michael Jones at Change.org has similar sentiments:

President Clinton hasn't had the greatest relationship with the LGBT community since his presidency ended.  Though he arguably did more for LGBT rights than any other president before him, many resented him for not following through on his pledge to end the ban on gays and lesbians serving in the military, and for signing the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) in 1996.  Singer Melissa Etheridge, during an LGBT forum for Democratic Presidential candidates in 2007, famously accused President Clinton of throwing gays and lesbians "under the bus" because of these issues.

But President Clinton may have come a long way to rectifying those historical wrongs with these excellent robocalls for the No on 8 campaign.

Because I'm a Masochist, I'm Watching The View

So, Bill Clinton's on, and Barbara (God bless her aged heart) asks him about why Hillary isn't VP and particularly asks whether Barack did or didn't want Hillary (and him, collaterally) on the ticket.

The truth is that vetting Bill Clinton and all the stuff that's gone on financially with his Global Initiative and the Clinton Library would have been a real problem for the campaign. And Bill Clinton knows that but can't say it.

So, that leaves me, sitting in front of the TV with all this information and all this frustration.

And that's why I'm a masochist.

Well, there's also Elisabeth. Having to listen to her lie her frickin' ass off each day is just so ... tiring.

Reported -- Bill Clinton Suggests Obama Should "Kiss My Ass" For Support

Now, this post isn't for you kids. This is what's called When Big Uncle Joe Gets Mad, so just keep scrolling or click away to, I dunno, HERE!

Click the image above to go directly to the article from the London Telegraph.

The following applies if this allegation is true:

Dude, you still have a bit of a repuatation to uphold, don't be such a douche. People read the British press. Like those big Saudi donors to your Library and Foundation, you know, the reason you didn't want to have to be vetted for Hillary to get the VP slot.

(Yeah, I know he was a former President, but honestly charm was his strongest suit. Don't Ask, Don't Tell was bullshit, "free trade" destroyed people's lives, and Marc Rich doesn't seem like the kind of guy who should have gotten away. And I would have said all these things then but I didn't have a blog then.)

Hey, I call 'em like I see 'em. You're no Jimmy Carter. He's the best former President we've ever had. Okay, domestically. I'm still not sure what he's doing with the Palestinians.

Who knew you'd be such a sore loser.

By the end of the news cycle tomorrow, this headline is all over the world and you look like a prick, whether you said it or not.

I don't really think Obama needs your support, by the way. Didn't you stick a cigar tube up a young woman's cooch in an alcove off the Oval Office? Yeah, I went there, that's how pissed off this makes me. Is the endorsement of cooch/cigar tube guy that important when you pull back for the big picture?

Beg for your support?

Man, one might say that you are are risking damaging your own reputation with your intransigence. Actually, that's what the Telegraph reported your closest allies have said.

Since we're not close, I'll just say you're bein' a dick.

Of course, someone will deny the report in the next 24 hours. But, it's too late. Bill-O's already writing an entire show about it. And, he'll probably come out supporting the Clintons.

It's just a shame they couldn't have gone out with a shred of dignity left.

Of course, that is if it's true.

I guess the question is, What "friend" talked to these Telegraph reporters, and why would someone do that?

That should be looked into in the days ahead. Telegraph is usually pretty reliable and I believe the highest circ paper in the country..

Stuff Hillary's Doing At Home Instead of Showing Up At Her Speech

1. Dodging sniper fire.

2. Still trying to come up with a decent reason for her Iraq War vote.

3. Asking Eliot Spitzer about those drivers licenses and whether his call girls all got one.

4. Seeing what she looks like in a black robe/pant suit hybrid.

5. Pulling Bill off some Denny's waitress.

6. Doing everything she can to piss me off!

Pew Center Study Proves Bill Clinton is a Lying Sack of Crap

No, not about the oral sex with zoftig interns, I mean about his wife getting more negative press coverage than her opponent.

Broadcasting & Cable:

In fact, it was just the opposite starting after Clinton criticized the media for being too soft on Obama.

That's according to a new study from the Pew Research Center's Project for Excellence in Journalism and Harvard's Joan Shorenstein Center on Press, Politics and Public Policy.

In fact, according to the study, for the first two months of the year, starting just before the Iowa caucuses, the tone of coverage for both was "almost identical," with both getting about twice as many positives in those categories as negatives.

The tougher coverage, the study said, came at Obama's expense as "the narrative about him began to turn more skeptical and indeed became more negative than the coverage of Clinton herself."

So, d'ya think Big Willie's gonna shut up? If you do, I have some delegates in the brand new state of Delusion that you can seat for Hillary.

I really think there's some sort of poisonous agent that Hillary put in Bill's body and she won't give him the antidote until she's President of the United States. I can't explain his behavior any other way.

Hat tip to friend of the blog John Eggerton at Broadcasting & Cable.

Martin Sheen Endorses Obama on Graham Norton 5/2

The new season of Graham's BBC chatfest starts tonight on BBC America with Tony Curtis and Kevin Bacon, but next week ...

Martin Sheen on who he supports in the Democratic Race: 

Martin Sheen - “It’s unfortunate that they’re beating each other up. I haven’t made a proper claim, maybe I should do it here, I’m an Obama supporter.  But you mustn’t reveal it yet, Bill Clinton loved The West Wing and he still calls me his President, so I have to be careful for just a while longer.”

Guest comedian Ed Byrne - “I’m afraid that you’ve done it.”

Martin Sheen - “I’ve done it. I still think the Democrats will win.  No matter which one of them comes in, the country’s ready for a change, we’ve had it. It’s just been a disaster.”

Graham Norton - “Even from a distance, we’ve noticed.”

And in other political news today, Hillary Clinton produced photographic evidence today that wild rabid dogs actually bit off her husband's penis early in his Presidency in an attack on the White House lawn that was at the time unreported (see photo below) and now claims that the entire Lewinsky matter was indeed nothing but a vast right wing conspiracy.

"And, there was sniper fire inches over our heads," she said to a gathering of reporters and staff. "Also, we voted against the wild, rabid penis-eating dogs before we voted for them, and my health care plan is the only plan that will cover Bill's loss of penis to the wild, rabid dogs, dogs that by the way just don't think my opponent can pass the commander-in-chief test."

Bill Clinton Professes Love for "Grey's" at TV Land Upfronts

From the Reporter:

Clinton said Friday that he enjoys "All in the Family," "I Love Lucy" and "The Andy Griffith Show" and is catching up on "Bonanza" at night while trying to write a book on citizen activism.

"As you know, my wife is away, so I'm home alone a lot," Clinton said of Sen. Hillary Clinton, who is running for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2008. "I'm particularly grateful to TV Land for giving me something to do at night."

Aren't you glad he's thanking TV Land and not Scores?

Anyhow, back to our former president's TV watching habits:

Fielding written queries from ad buyers, Clinton played TV critic, saying he loves watching baseball and football on television and picked ABC's "Grey's Anatomy" as his favorite show.

"And even though an uber right-wing guy writes it, '24,' " said Clinton, who added that he enjoys the fact that conservatives and liberals alike can be the bad guys in the show.

"They're trying to be fair," Clinton said.

And he appreciates "Boston Legal" for the dynamic between William Shatner and James Spader. "It's something to behold," he said.

Clinton was hired by TV Land to speak that their upfront presentation this time out.

Slanthead Alert -- Hannity to Air What ABC Left on the Cutting Room Floor -- The Lies From "The Path to 9/11" This Weekend

I don't like Sean Hannity, not because he's a "Slanthead" but only because he's a lying sack of crap (I will refer you to MediaMatters.org and NewsHounds.us for reference).

He has this weekend show on Fox News these days (for people who didn't get their fill during the week?) and this weekend he'll be talking to another lying sack of crap, Cyrus Nowastreh, who wrote the ABC mini The Path to 9/11 that was shown last year on the network.

Nowastreh has been touring Southern California with the pre-edit version of the movie, complete with the lies that ABC thought were too lie-ful to run on their network. Hannity's people went up to  Camarillo, CA to shoot Nowastreh's presentation, and they said they will run the edited clips, the de facto lies, on their air.

I was very vocal about my issues with the movie, which I watched before editing.

Also there will be former CIA bin Laden desk guy Michael Scheuer and Nowastreh. Not showing up, even just in front of a TV set tuned to Faux News? Me.

Who should be watching? Bill Clinton, Madeleine Albright and Sandy Berger, or at least their attorneys. There may be something actionable there.

Oh, and ABC, who paid for the thing, should be talking to their lawyers, too. I know Hannity thinks he has a right to air the footage, but it's ABC product.
