my buddy bill







Rick Cleveland is a former writer for The West Wing, one of THE best and smartest television shows to ever grace a screen (oh, how I wish President Bartlett were real). He's also a good friend of former President Bill Clinton, and in the included videos, you can catch a preview of his one-man show describing his relationship with the President. It's hilarious in a deadpan completely serious sort of way.

If you're able to see the entire thing, it paints a ridiculously candid portrait of the President. It's impossible to say how much of it is true, if any at all, but it's hard not to listen to some of this stuff and think, "yeah I can see that." What's best about it is you get to hear an occasional story about current Presidential Candidate, Hillary Clinton. It makes you wonder who was really behind the first Clinton Presidency (especially the last included video). Hillary seems to come off as nothing more than the naggy wife type from a Judd Apatow movie. But then again, maybe I'm just being a dude.

Anyway, this is hilarious stuff, whether true or not. You should check it out if you can.

You can download the entire show for $2 on iTunes or try to catch it late at night on Comedy Central.
