I actually saw this interview with Mort Sahl. (He looks pretty good for a geezer.) His terse comment on not wanting to meet Clinton really caught whazhisname CNN guy off guard. Just as funny, when Mort Sahl said something about Geraldo and whazhisname cautioned not to mention Geraldo again, then mumbled something about Sahl could say anything he liked, but he couldn't.

Delicious moments, memorialized by Mia!

Thanx! I actually turned on the show mid-interview and missed the Geraldo gem. Worthy of its own headline:

Brown bowdlerizes, Geraldo taboo

Some tweaks and additions to the story:

Mort Sahl: No desire to meet clinton

"With no morality, there's nothing there"

Proud to know "the 2 Bushes," the Kennedys, Nixon

by Mia T

ASHINGTON, Jan.16-- Mort Sahl,"Will Rogers with fangs," the 60s satirist and self-professed "radical independent" who cut his political-eyeteeth at the Hungry i, put the intellectual--if not the final--nail in the clinton legacy coffin on the Aaron Brown Show tonight. (Who is Aaron Brown? Imagine Charlie Rose plus paunch minus Southern suavity.) That the eponymous Clinton News Network (CNN) televised the demise only added to the irony.

Brown asked Sahl what he thought of clinton. "Never met him." The terse Sahl non sequitur did not deter the host. Brown probed further with polite imprecision, which is his hallmark. "Would you like to meet him?" With neither hesitation nor the slightest hint of irony, Sahl explained, "I have no desire to meet clinton; with no morality, there's nothing there."

By way of contrast, the intrepid iconoclast, who never knew a president he didn't skewer, went on to express pride in knowing "the two Bushes," the Kennedys and Nixon.

So much for the clinton legacy.

The CLINTON-WAS-AN-UTTER-FAILURE Containment Team Scheme, counterproductive on its face, is now officially dead. If the clintons had any concern for the American aesthetic, they would bury it...and, while they're at it, themselves.
