Bill Clinton on Donahue (1992)

[weinmanjoe]

He did'nt do shit! republican congress did all the law making, not Clinton the liar

[nomibe2911]

Clinton was the most agile President of all time. Could think on his feet and sidetrack land mines while winning office every time. This man has only lost two elections in his lifetime.

[emoviebuff87]

YES YES YES GO GET HIM BILL!!!!

[sumskater999]

Bill Clinton almost had the balls of Lyndon Johnson. LBJ didn't cut deals with Congress, he told them what to do and they damn well did it.

[xtrmsprts]

He paused before saying no. I'm pretty sure he had exhausted his sexual interest in hillary a long time ago.

[2112Metal]

Get him a seat on oprah

[postalmeter]

Anyone who thinks Clinton is anything more than a turd is a moron and bigger a scum than he is.

Clinton is a sociopath, rapist and opportunistic crook who caused 9/11 as much as Bin Laden if not more so.

[irishgeal1]

clinton is the most gigted liar in history, check the liar out in the clinton chronicles

[postalmeter]

@irishgeal1

Clinton is a COMPULSIVE liar and sociopath, he lies under OATH for God's sake.

[mitchthemich]

THE best president EVER was Clinton.

[NeilFraudstrong]

Clinton was not just a great President, but I think he is one of the all time greatest politicians in history. I mean, he could speak to a crowd of 100,000 people, but make each person feel as if he was talking to just you. His word usage as a politician was amazing too because technically he did NOT lie (per se) about the Lewinsky thing or any number of tricky political nightmares. A great politician through and through.

[JerseyBob86]

There's a reason Phil Donahue is known as "The King of Talk." Then-Governor Clinton wanted to avoid the issue of his infidelities and Phil pressed on. As we all know, President Clinton's lack of judgement in the area of relationships with women WAS our business.

[msmiche1000]

Phil knows how to serve, but in a "I'm a nice guy way." 

[schweigerlover01]

If you like privacy you shouldnt become famous. 

[xtrmsprts]

Donahue held his own

[SanitariumLXIX]

0:50 Awesome answer Phil! As much as I disagree with you on a lot of things, you hit the nail on the head!

[TheBargar]

@badasschill you would need to ask Monica about his balls lol....

[FutureNewsAnchor]

Donahue got heckled by his own audience? Wow!

[gundamWWW]

Only in America it's important who banged who and who smoked what, more important then the growing national debt, economic policies and the issues that affect the put forward by the candidates.

We seem to have been fixated with bullshit for the past 40 years, ever since Nixon comitted a crime. Now all politicians are ultra scrutinized.

[MrBenderpoo]

godam bill clinton is the political john wayne.

[ryan9942]

@hughster41 Fuck yeah Reagan was a great man!!, he was the last true president we have had!

[thelurker25]

fuck bill clinton

[rittertiger]

What ever B ill Clinton did in his private life does not change the fact that he has been one of the most successful, and respectful politicians in history.

Even today President Clinton is fully and actively engaged in international and humanitarian affairs, while the 2 Bushes have fun in their ranches.

[ryan9942]

@rittertiger But it's obvious the Lewiskey scandal was effecting his ability to run the nation and he ended up getting impeached for it, it's never a good thing if a president is impeached.

[ir10031981]

what the hell was Phil Donahue thinking? I don't care if it is his show, Phil Donahue stepped out of line by asking Bill Clinton a personal question about his marriage. His marriage is none of my business or anybody's business, and not Phil's business as well, come on! I think this was done for ratings or maybe Phil had a lapse of judgment. For a moment there it was like something I would expect to see on Jerry Springer.

[ryan9942]

@ir10031981 But then look what happened, he was impeached for cheating on his wife, people have a right to know what's going on in a president's and a presidential candidate personal life if it's going to affect their ability to run the nation.

[brainwashedmasses]

@hughster41

Reagan was, as my father in law so eloquently put it.. "a wad his father should have shot into the toilet"

[brainwashedmasses]

Makes me rethink the way I've remembered Donahue. I always thought he had more integrity than to focus on stupid shit that has nothing to do with anything, when there are so many more important issues in the world.

[gregor7700]

We now all know why Bill got so upset don't we? The guy is a slime bag and a liar.

[brainwashedmasses]

@gregor7700

And I suppose you would enjoy people asking you about the details of your marriage, even though it's absolutely irrelevant and none of their business?

[gregor7700]

@brainwashedmasses Your viewpoint makes me chuckle. Don't you understand that people who want to be in leadership roles need to be honest and decent individuals if they want the public's trust? Bill Clinton is untrustworthy, is a liar and a pervert with no character at all. A total phony who has even characterized his own wife as a lesbian!

[dbmcmillan]

Marital fidelity tells what kind of character a man has. It is not and shouldn't be a forbidden question. Phil won.

[bigpoppa101977]

Bill you are my man dude!..lol

[chinchonchinchon]

I presume George Bush's marriage is a very stable one yet see all the damage that idiot has done to the US constitution!

[calalilygirl]

Boy did the presidency age that guy!

[calalilygirl]

My sentiments exactly...agree with you.

[calalilygirl]

Phil was great here and he was NOT attacking his character. It was worth at least a few questions. Bill and Hillary HAD and STILL HAVE the most unusual marriage I have ever witnessed.

[calalilygirl]

Time proved that Bill got defensive cause he had a shitload to hide. Bill really does have a big time temper if things don't go his way and he's pushed.

[tripjet999]

BIll Clinton was the BEST President the USA has ever had!

[marcostar57]

The Righties "Arkansas Project" was in full-gear at the time I'm sure. And I've always liked Donahue but he was playing stupid "gotcha" politics -- and Clinton's response was great.

[willhunting1995]

Bill Clinton can kiss my ass. If it's not the public's business about his marriage, then how can he have run for PUBLIC office? Sorry, but public officials are the PUBLIC's BUSINESS!

[newmark401]

Surely public figures are entitled to a private life, especially if they aren't breaking any laws?

[LeroyBright]

Who was that lady in the audience who spoke after Phil gave his "sound bite"?

[fireemblem1992]

GO BILL! WOOT WOOT!

[Boowitch13]

I love Bill Clinton. Didn't like Bush and

can't stand Obama.

[classicguru79]

yikes

[BloodTar]

Well we now know what kind of president we get when we don't look into his character. Bill Clinton is still looking for some kind of legacy other than the ones he now famous for . . . White-water and Monica Lewinsky and that's all he'll ever be remembered for, like it or not

[biggerdouchebagjones]

That was fucking awesome.

[hiitsmewutsup09]

Bill Clinton is the man. He is the greatest President we will probably ever see in our lifetimes. I can only hope Obama proves me wrong.

[BobReidy]

One piece of hypocracy I notice in the criticism of Bill Clinton is that he gets ripped apart for his bad pardons while Bush Sr gets a free pass from right wing commentators for pardoning guys who where involved in the Iran Contra scandal who were going to implicate him in an inquiry in effort to cover his ass.I am a Republican and I dont like Bill Clinton and I believe this.You cant criticize one person but let someone else off the hook when they do something equally bad.

[Theluiscalderon86]

@hiitsmewutsup09 i guess obama didn't Bill is still the best.

[TerrorBlack]

@hiitsmewutsup09 I hope you were born in the 80s...

[mtlsixshooter]

@hiitsmewutsup09 - Clinton Rocked az Prez.. I want him running the planet.

[postalmeter]

@hiitsmewutsup09

Yeah if you're Osama Bin Laden since Bill Clinton let him go while the Saudis were begging Clinton to accept him, and Clinton screwed up miltiary intelligence which allowed Biln Laden to perpetrate 9/11 for 2 years under Clinton's nose.

Clinton is the biggest turd in American history, and a stain on the US presidency as well as the White House rug.

[nhlluver19]

lol owned bill rocks man

[calalilygirl]

Phil, if you look here was not owned. he made it clear why he felt the questions should be answered he never became flustered by Clinton or lost his cool. He effectively made his case.

[Yeldarb4]

It IS none of our business, good for you President Clinton.

[MondoBeno]

In 1992, we were facing a shitload of troubles, like the LA riots, the Exxon-Valdez spill, factory closings, unemployment, drugs, decayed cities, etc.

Bill Clinton was something we hadn't seen in years-a STRONG DEMOCRAT! Aside from Clinton, Kennedy, Hugh Carey, and Tip O'Neil, we haven't had strong Democrats anywhere.

[10935709]

the reaction of the guy at the end of the girls comment...Priceless! :D

[WINDHAMMAN]

donahue was wrong to pry into clintons life how would donahue like it if clinton asked him if it was true his wife marlo loked getting fucked in the ass and was a hollywood tramp? and im republican

[jlmys14]

donahue wasn't running for president, bill clinton was. anyone who runs for the presidency or any other high political office should have their character scutinized. if you can't handle questions about your personal life, then don't make a run at the white house. it comes with the territory. let's remember that clinton was almost impeached because of perjury. if the average american commits perjury, he or she will go to jail. fuck bill clinton

[calalilygirl]

Back then it was common to ask that of someone running for political office. Look what the liar ended up doing in the OVAL OFFICE of all places. He should have been taken to task on those things but Phil had no choice if Bill refused to answer and maybe he did have the right to refuse.

[callycampbell]

look at how retarded everyone looks in their clothes. ahaha good times

[AfghansWorld]

well, the AmeriCUNTs has always been retarded and trashes but changes their looks. lol

so the same donkeys with a change of pack-saddles

[callycampbell]

they has always looked retarded??

You need to work on subject-verb relationships

yeah, not your strong suit

[AfghansWorld]

what the fuck you FuckTarded talking about?

[callycampbell]

Right...

So, you probably shouldn't write things on the internet because you just............

make yourself look dumb

[calalilygirl]

That's funny!

[foamjack]

Phil should have asked about the cocaine smuggling he was involved in with the CIA while Governor.

[acb06172005]

Geez, I would think ultra-liberal Donahue would be on Clinton's side! This is almost as strange as Donahue doing that abortion episode when he's very pro-choice (and said episode certainly did not help that cause either).

[sondano]

And both sucked big time

[blainewashington]

Clinton was far to the right economically, favoring corporations and free trade agreements that were beneficial to them and detrimental to everyone else.

[MD550]

bill kicked donahues ass hahaha

[mtf10]

Stalin was a conservative. The right/left dichotomy doesn't really work with autocratic regmies.

[ClassicShowbiz]

Donahue is the best. Bill Clinton is right wing slime, but man, is he good at turning the tables like that.

[JohnMichaels20]

?????

[astewart2005]

right wing?

[jacobrecker]

"right wing slime"

Bill clinton is a democrat

[KliphsPolitics]

right wing democrat.

[OneoftheImmortals]

lol

[calalilygirl]

Agreed that's all he did--turn the tables

[speakmymind01]

Another example of how you can't ask the Clintons anything, they have been getting away with this for years,

How dumb is the American electorate, giving this fraud 2 terms, and getting ready to do it again with his wife

'Gonna drive me to drinkin'

[JohnMichaels20]

why does Donahue care, I love how Clinton tells it to him like it is.

[glory789]

lol
