Pundit & Pundette: Bill Clinton on Mad Men

November 12, 2009

Bill Clinton on Mad Men

So he's an authority on how to respect women?

"You ever watch that TV series 'Mad Men?' " Clinton asked. "If I keep watching this program, will I ever find a happy person? Great television. Good drama. But a lot of really painful reminders in that show about how black people were supposed to run the elevators... were supposed to ask permission before they get on an elevator. The way women were treated is appalling, and only occasionally funny to me."

I don't know whether to type 'heh' or 'huh?' His Oval Office antics could have come straight out of a Mad Men script, but were exponentially worse, considering that he was President of the United States at the time. Doesn't he realize that his comments just remind us of his dirty-old-man exploitation of a 23 year-old intern, and his desecration of the office of POTUS?

Maybe he's just jealous.

SERIOUSLY. Bill Clinton IS Don Draper, only way less attractive. It's almost like they wrote Don Draper based off of Bill and then gave him a bangin hot wife and a different career.

Yeah, Bill, it's really appalling how some men can treat women. *cough cough*

Delightfully Tacky: I have to disagree. Don Draper has a conscience deep down, whereas Clinton is a classic sociopath--he cares for no one but himself.

I see Bill Clinton as more of a creepy Roger Sterling type.

BB, thank you for the link. :)

Your whole point is off base. Clinton did not force him self on Monica: the relationship was oral sex between consensual adults. In fact his problem was that he could not say "no" to women.Lol... You're just jealous.

No one ever suggested he forced himself on her. But was there ever a bigger power disparity than between the POTUS, arguably the most powerful man in the world, and a 22 or 23 year old intern?
