You hear about that time where Stephen Colbert started a Twitter account for Bill Clinton?
In regards to the Obama email dating problem from last night, looks like Bill Clinton is getting involved now, too.
She’s an extraordinarily able person. I’ve never met anybody I thought was a better public servant. But I have no earthly idea what she’ll decide to do.Bill Clinton, on his wife’s presidential ambitions. You’ll note that this is a change from the “I absolutely won’t run for president at all” tune Hillary’s been singing for the last four years.
Former President Bill Clinton’s stem-winding nomination speech was a fact-checker’s nightmare: lots of effort required to run down his many statistics and factual claims, producing little for us to write about.
Republicans will find plenty of Clinton’s scorching opinions objectionable. But with few exceptions, we found his stats checked out.
As fact-checking is in vogue at the moment, here’s a look at Clinton’s speech. While they nicked him for overselling the Affordable Care Act, the key phrase is this: “Other exaggerations and missteps were minor by comparison.”

A timely blast from the past from Longform, written by the dude who anonymously wrote the fictionalized account of the ‘92 race.

Bill Clinton’s speech, seen from above.
It turns out that advancing equal opportunity and economic empowerment is both morally right and good economics. Why? Because poverty, discrimination and ignorance restrict growth. When you stifle human potential, when you don’t invest in new ideas, it doesn’t just cut off the people affected — it hurts us all.President BILL CLINTON, at the DNC. (via inothernews)
AP sources: Obama campaign to use Bill Clinton in prominent role at Democratic convention
WASHINGTON — President Bill Clinton will play a prominent role at the Democratic National convention this summer, several Obama campaign and party officials say.
The former president will formally nominate President Barack Obama for re-election. And he will use a prime-time speech to argue that Obama has the strongest economic vision for the country’s future, the officials say.
Probably a good move, but will this convince anyone on the other side of the aisle?
In case you missed him the first time, Arsenio Hall is coming back with a new syndicated talk show in September 2013, giving Hall an opportunity to relive his greatest individual moment, above. His previous (and very popular) show was a late-night staple between 1989 and 1994, when his only real competition for most of that time frame was Johnny Carson. Bad news: Hall now has Leno, Letterman, Kimmel, Conan, Handler, and hundreds of other channels to fight against. Being away from the game so long, can he pull it off?

RT @DWSTweets08 Another broken promise from @BarackObama. Can’t trust his word. Obama doesn’t always mean what he says. #cannottrustbarack

The Romney campaign decided to unveil a new, parody Twitter account today — imagining Bill Clinton as a free-talking Romney supporter if he took to tweeting. The only thing we think they get right? That suave, saxophone-and-shades profile photo — Slick Willy is alive and well.
