Bill Clinton Learns to Laugh at His Past
By DEVLIN BARRETT, Associated Press Writer 5 minutes ago
Finally, Bill Clinton can joke about his past. The former president cracked up a meeting Wednesday, spicing up an otherwise dry, technical talk on the need for better coordination of global relief work.
In the midst of touting the importance of creating infrastructure to deliver aid to the developing world, Clinton conceded it was hardly the most scintillating subject to which he's been linked.
"To me, it's something I want to keep working on and I like working on it because it's not a particularly sexy topic. But I've already had enough headlines to last me five lifetimes," said Clinton, as the banquet hall audience burst out laughing.
"I don't mind working on boring topics. I like boring," he said in a speech to InterAction, an alliance of humanitarian organizations.
In recent days, Clinton has poked fun at his post-White House life working on global disaster relief and HIV/AIDS programs.
He's also shown a willingness to mock the days his presidency was consumed by the Monica Lewinsky scandal and impeachment.
At a speech Tuesday night, the 42nd president genially said he had "already made enough people mad in my life," and on Monday evening he had described himself to a New York crowd as "the world's most famous sinner."
Clinton also spoke Wednesday at a gathering where he was honored with an award named after his one-time boss, the late Sen. William Fulbright of Arkansas.
Accepting the prize, Clinton urged the United States to seek peace before war.

He didn't exhibit any shame then, why expect any now? ;-)
Clinton is living proof that God has a sense of humor
He is an idiot, I am suprised he has teeth with some of his comments.....
As always with this cretin, it's ALL ABOUT HIM!!!!
Snake oil salesman still separating liberal fools from their money.
Sense of humor, maybe more like a true testament to God's loooonnnnnnngggggg suffering.
I wonder if he'd laugh if they started introducing him (rightly) as "Impeached President William Jefferson Clinton" ?
He's amoral. Is anyone surprised?

Haw, haw
What a peckerwood.
He'll always be nothing more than a personality disorder with a disco haircut.
Ohhhh, isn't he just sooooo cute! (sarc)
...ad nauseaum...
This snake in the grass should be laughing in while sitting in jail for a long, long time.
Why does he have the right to the name of President if he was impeached?
we just have to remember that impeachment thing when we go vote in November - if the house gets into Democrats hands, they'll go after Bush like Parana fish takes a live bait!
no shame - no class
Once again, I have corrected an obvious printing error.
