Clinton could get Gumbel's "Early Show" gig

Clinton in running for TV job

From correspondents in Washington
27apr02


FORMER US president Bill Clinton could soon start a gig as the co-host of a morning television program, US media reported today.

ABC-TV's gossip show "Extra" reported that Clinton is a candidate to succeed retiring television host Bryant Gumbel as the co-anchor of "The Early Show" - a breakfast news program on rival network CBS-TV.

The ex-president, who left office 15 months ago, already has been busy in retirement: his William J Clinton Foundation is assembling teams of business experts to provide financial, marketing and other technical advice to owners of small businesses in Harlem, where he maintains an office.

Earlier this month he took on a new job as a senior adviser to two investment funds run by a cut price grocery store tycoon, the Los Angeles-based Yucaipa Companies said.

And he is in the process of penning his memoirs, set for publication in 2003, for publishing house Alfred A Knopf, which paid him an advance of more than $US10 million ($A18.48 million) - the largest ever for a non-fiction book published in the United States.

I'm surprised no one has pointed out that pile of BS. There will be more fiction than truth in anything this disgraceful, deceitful, lying bag of wind will ever write. Assuming of course that he ever writes this book....

He'snever written a book in his life, and this will not change that record. A ghostwriter will study his previously ghosted "articles" and "speeches," sit down with the "author" for a few hours, and slap something, it doesn't matter what, together. No one's going to read it, anyway. It's just a pretext for his grateful fans in the publishing world to give him money.

Imagine how many talented writers won't be able to get book deals, because the publisher squandered all the advance money he could have paid them, for books that surely would have outsold Clinton's straight-to-remainder work.

CBS is very shrewd here. Ordinarily, the choice of Early Show host would rate about as much ink as deciding which janitor cleans the toilets. This way, they get some buzz for the position. I think I remember seeing this before -- a media company saying Bill Clinton is "in the running" just to have it be revealed as nonsense.

Who is going to walk Buddy, Jr. if he has to be at the studio that early every day? Of course, he doesn't have the discipline to be up that early every day but that's another story.

The new BMW 7 Series has the revolutionary "I" drive feature which allows seamless comfortable -lowjobs from the passengers seating as well as room for handjobs from passengers in the back. This car is ideally suited for Mobile Sex.

Actually this is the singlemost beautiful car on the road today.

Is ABC still on the air? It's been so long since I watched it, I guess I forgot it existed. Well, I guess this gives me yet another reason to avoid network TV.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

Should pretty well cement the "liberal bias in the media" position if it happens, though.

That said, I'd hate to have to disinfect my television if I accidentally tuned in CBS with the Toon hosting anything. It's an accident when it happens NOW .. I wouldn't want to have to call it tragic.

Good grief, he's just introducing the Beemer 7-series all over the world, isn't he? What nitwit at BMW made this decision? We can express our dismay here (thanks to lodwick for the link to BMW's website).

Clinton can't make it to work that early. Remember, he's a night person, prowling around through the house after dark and into the wee hours of the morning, making whack-off phone calls. No way will he be up for anything like this. I'd be very surprised if he ever took a job that required him to be up and out so early in the morning.

Speaking of pre-show makeup ... what are they going to do about that cocaine nose? For the past several years, I have been patiently waiting for it (the nose) to fall off. Maybe it will happen on-air! Ya think?

Bill Clinton could soon start a gig

Far be it from me, of all people, to correct spelling, but shouldn't that read "gag"?

NEVER FORGET

...A couple of months ago American Media Inc's GLOBE Publication ran a Cover Story reporting that BILL CLINTON was being given $25 Million by Disney Chief MICHAEL EISNER to host his own daily ABC-TV Talk Show.

...BILL CLINTON's stated motives for this, besides the $25 Million, was to to sell his wife HILLARY's push for the Presidency against BUSH in Year 2004 and also to SELL the Amercan People that Sept 11th "Ain't My Fault."

...I immediately stated on...the HUGH HEWITT, WARREN DUFFEY and BOB DORNAN National Talk Radio Shows, here on Freerepublic.com & Newsmax.com Forums ...as well as the .."WE WERE SOLDIERS".. www.TalkRadioNetwork.com ..Off Topic Forum Thread titled:

'September 11, 2001--Another Day That Will Live in Infamy'

...that REGIS PHILBIN had better look out over his shoulder, 'cause here comes his AM Coffee-Clutch time with the Women of America TV Replacement =

Enter BILL CLINTON

...Suddenly reports came out that REGIS PHILBIN, who was already very unhappy with ABC-TV Management over its mistreatment of him and their reduced TV Schedule for his -How to Become a Millionaire- TV Show, was going to leave his REGIS-Live Morning Show because he had just found out that his popular new TV Co-Host KELLY RIPPA was being given her own ABC TV Show behind his back. With KELLY already working on GENERAL HOSPITAL and REGIS-Live ..a third TV Show of her own would have meant she would be jumping out over REGIS who gave her her big TV Break and leaving his TV Show behind =

Exit KELLY = Exit REGIS = Enter CLINTON

...Perhaps with the light of exposure, things got turned around after a couple of weeks when KELLY promised REGIS not to take on a 3rd TV Show of her own and it now looks like REGIS will be staying on ABC-TV even though ABC would rather have had BILL CLINTON in their TV Mornings =

Exit GUMBEL = Enter CLINTON on CBS -In the Morning-

...It is now being reported that what ever Political Party takes over the House of Representatives this November ...will take over the White House in Year 2004. The House is currently in Control of the Republican Party by the slimest of margins. It is also being reported that if the Democrats take over the House ...there goes our War on Terrorism.

...So look for BILL CLINTON's daily Morning TV Chats with the Women of America over coffee to fire up ..much sooner rather than later.

...Yes indeedy, Folks...

..-It's the TV, Stupid, no matter WHO pays for it-..

...still.

PS: ..HUGH HEWITT.. bet ..ALOHA RONNIE.. 5 Minutes of Free Air Time on his National Salem Broadcasting Talk Radio Show to share his Political Perspectives with America ..if BILL CLINTON ever got his own National TV Show.

...Looks like ..ALOHA RONNIE's.. going to need'em...???
