Following in the footsteps of Democratic colleagues such as Barack Obama and Al Gore, former President Bill Clinton is ready to make his TV producer debut.
This week, History Channel announced its partnership with Clinton, who will act as executive producer on a project examining the response of presidents during challenging times throughout U.S. history.

Well he was against harsh punishment for the south or for it?
against, right?
I just dislike him because i think he forced an unnecessary war on the country.
i would be wrong
I have tons of stories about Zak and my time there. Zak is probably the only liberal I know who is absolutely patriotic/pro USA...but doesnt believe in Jesus or religion. I know it’s damn weird. Some Freepers asked me before what were the 2 places that scared me the most when I interned and I gave my answer 2 Halloweens ago..
And during the years I watched the show, I don't ever remember getting any feelings that he was a liberal, and I don't ever recall him, or the other guys ever talking about their personal feelings or beliefs. As far as I know, they kept that part out of the show.
So what were you doing on that Halloween that scared you?
His main goal was to hold the Union together. Slavery wasn't any part of it. Lincoln didn't believe that any State had the right to secede. Different times in those days. The country wasn't yet 100 years old at the time.
He was against harsh punishment, while the dominant mood in Congress was to ‘wave the bloody shirt’. Lincoln could and did claim Commander-in-Chief powers to conduct the war as he choose, but once the war was over, Congress felt that it had the power to administer the aftermath. That’s why, had he lived, there would have been a huge contest of wills between the executive and legislative branches.
Lincoln believed, rightly or wrongly, that secession was an illegal non-event. Even though they claimed to have left the Union, the southern states had not. Therefore the southern states regained (under his plan) their representation in Congress when 10% of voters signed a loyalty oath. Congress didn’t like this at all. Lincoln’s death elevated him to secular sainthood, but VP Johnson didn’t benefit from this because he was a southerner and not even a Republican and Congress rolled over him.
All of this is why I think the ‘what if Lincoln had lived’ is such an interesting scenario.
Maybe he will tell what it’s like to get oral sex in the Oval Office and make it a porn film.
It will be like watching a dog eating its own vomit!
Sorry.... I can’t think of it any other way
it wasn’t specifically a Halloween episode but I answered some Freepers (ala Reddit) on Halloween or close to it years ago which 2 and they were hands down, eastern State Pen and Bobby Mackey’s.
Nothing more than a complete joke. I found years ago that the left had a goal to infiltrate these cable channels to propagandize them. History,TLC,Weather,ESPN among most others have people advising them and on the boards no different than Soviet minders and political officers. One can watch a certain show,documentary or news program and not even know you are being brainwashed. If one gets his/her daily weather,news,science,sports and history from these channels,who do you think their ultimate political leaning will be.
It’s not like he raped or sexually assaulted anybody.
Or had anybody killed.
Or smoked vaginally scented cigars.
Or got impeached for perjury and suborning perjury.
Or is married to one of the most vile criminals on the face of the planet.
I can’t think of a better choice.
This is as ironic and perverse as fags hosting story hour at the library.
I liked it better when it was still “The Hitler Channel”
Agreed. He way overstepped his role as President, and the Federal government.
You are not alone.
I would think he would be doing a travel channel expose on Epsteins playland, a cigar officianato round table or china who loves you baby
From an old Jay Leno show.
Eerie Similarities.
Nixon: Ex-president.
Clinton: Sex-president.
Nixon sought peace with honor.
Clinton sought to get a piece while on her.
Etc.
I predict this will suck.
