In her first vlog for AfterEllen.com, political comedian Kate Clinton talks about a range of topics — from the primaries, to Marion Jones, to The L Word, to the real reason George Bush is in Israel right now.
She also reveals the fact that "I hate Jenny!" is a popular phrase around her house, explains the concept of "zipkids", and laments the fact that playing the bass is enough to get you elected President today. Hilarity Clinton Episode 1 Look for new episodes of Hilarity Clinton every Tuesday and Friday on AfterEllen.com. Submitted by on January 8, 2008 - 3:40pm. |

Great vlog
Yay! Thanks for the vlog, Kate, and I'm very much looking forward to future vlogs! Talking about politics, football and the L word -- Seriously, what else could a lesbian ask for? Cats. Yeah, cats were missing. [snaps]
Sadly, I've reached the point where I can no longer find a reason to like Jenny -- She used to be my favorite character and, with this last episode, I now feel as if I am watching some horrible Paris Hilton clone. [sighs]
Eli Manning looked good, though I can't stand that spoiled overrated quarterback. I'll be surprised if they make it past this weekend.
I'll definitely have to come watch the cleansing of the White House if it happens. What a superb idea.
Good luck to you also, Brenda! :)

About damn time
Finally! I don't think I know anyone that knows who Kate Clinton is. I only found out about her through the GLAAD Awards and few comedy specials. Thank you Logo. Now everyone will see how fucking funny, courages, honest, and intelligent this woman is. About fucking time.
*sighs* I wuv you, Kate Clinton. Welcome to Afterellen.com!
Fantastic
Great Vlog- where else can I hear commentary on the L-word, politics, and football at the same time? I didn't watch too many playoff games this weekend, I am waiting for my team (the Packers) to play this weekend.
I agree that some sort of ritual needs to be performed on the White House after whats-his-name moves out!
Kate and buttons!!
Oh how I love Kate Clinton!!!
But darlin I have seen your stand up comedy many times and one thing I do know about you...............YOU KNOW ABOUT MORE THAN ONE BUTTON!!!
Oh lordy how you make me laugh!!
There goes another semster!!!!
Between this, Bridget McManus and whatever Vblog Jill, Karmen and Dara are doing I will never get any schoolwork done!!!!
Yay! Lesbian political rhetoric!
Don't you think waiting until the end of Bush's time in office to preform a cleansing ceremony to exercise demons or whatever from the white house is a little bit after the fact? Where were you during the last seven and a half years?????
Intelligence and
Intelligence and humor...can it get any better than this? I don't think so! Great first vlog :)
Count me in for the White House cleansing trip!
brilliant!
it's just the best word to describe kate clinton! how lucky do i feel that we get a twice weekly dose of her intelligence, beauty, and wit?
welcome to AE kate!
Finally!
Love, love, love Kate's vlog! But it should be longer, 10 minutes is not enough! I could watch Kate Clinton for hours and hours, :)
It's wonderful that Kate is talking about politics, keep it coming!
I'm ashamed, but I still like Jenny. I just love anything Mia Kirshner does.
Kate Clinton You Rockin' on AE.com
Kate you so rock!

Another Kate Line:Performance inhancer Drugs. What I think of Coffee
I'm so glad you got your own vlog! I've seen your performance on comedy shows,not in person, you always rock the house. You're rockin' here on AE.com
Don't worry we turn into Angry Lesbians b/c we wuv,you, too
There's must be a Lesbian Goddess b/c we get a chance to see you twice every week. Yea!
L Word, Politics... Sports? Curious mix.
Damn that L Word spoiler! Haven't watched it yet (I know, I know! Working on it!). Luckily I took the liberty of assuming I'll (still) dislike Jenny, so other than something burning down (I'm trying not to process that bit of information), I think I'm clean.
USA politics, always an amusing topic... Years and years and I still just barely get how the whole thing works, here's what I have: Sometimes it does work and trips to the states become more expensive, and sometimes you end up with a guy who comes over here to ensure peace in the middle east (Because all these years we just haven't given it a good enough try, really...), but considering his amazing record with "peace" probably just ends up eating all my falafel. Hmph. It's my falafel, MINE, and you can't have any!
I vaguely remember some sports thing somewhere in the middle there, but it flew past me like a katyusha through the Golan Heights sky... :P

Yay
Always a joy to hear Kate Clinton; also great to see a brand new vlog here as well. I hope there will be more commentary on the election process as it progresses - Kate, where shall we meet for that White House purification? :) PS: I want to look like Kate Clinton when I grow up. Damn it woman, you are really something!
Has AE some mad plan to make the week longer?
Seriously I'm gonna spend all day checking the site for vlogs, waiting for said vlogs to load and then finally watching the vlogs (and I have to include time for "laughter breaks"). It's exam time in some parts of the world ya know.
And can I just say Kate how the hell is your desk so clean and tidy? You can actually see bits of desk: I'm jealous.

Funny Stuff
Fantastic!
more kate!
double post..
*Clearing throat*
I luv you Kate C
Oh yes I do
I luv you Kate C
Cuz you're too Cuee...tuh!
Warning: wet, sloppy gushing straight ahead!
I'm so glad you're vlogging because you make politics fun! I'm also glad that you're coming to DC...with your sage, cuz I live here.
I too have contemplated heading off to the white house with my sage (the cooking kind because voodoo huts have been outlawed by the administration). I've envisioned myself sprinkling it liberally on the grounds. Alas, security is pretty tight here and I have a sneaking suspicion that I'd be shot on sight. So be forewarned: bring plenty of protection! Don't forget to give me a heads up when you get here. I'll be there to support the saging, from a safe distance, of course.
Mwah! Can't wait for more vlogs!

Looking forward to your
Catherine & Kate on the same day!
Whoopppeeeeeeee - two of my favorite ladies on the same day - Catherine Tate and Kate Clinton! I love this woman, just laugh-out-loud humor, and Hilarity Clinton? - priceless!
We are being spoiled with all these new vlogs (and I'm a little worried I'll stop recognizing the written word - thank god for the recaps), but how can you not watch them?
(Is it a little odd that there are still Exes & Ohs banner ads running here for "new episodes"?)
football! politics! humor!
enjoyed the post. And I love the Manning family. Even though Peyton is obnoxious. I still have total respect for Archie. (speaking of football, i was so happy last night when OSU lost to a SEC team. again.)
"hates the sin and the sinner" indeed! what a jerk.

That was great!!
That was great!! Looking forward to hearing more :)
oh
this was refreshing
thank you!
GREAT MAIDEN VLOGAGE
Go Hillary,go Giants and most importantly go Kate!
I love,love, love your vblog, can't wait for more.
Good news in NH, Hillary Rocked and Rolled, good , good, great! And lets hope for the best for Eli for the weekend.
:D
So, SO glad to see you here, Kate! And I'm happy to see you thru your maiden voyage on AE. Since you’re a Virgin Vlogger and all, I’ll tell you what I tell all the girls: lay back, close your eyes, and just enjoy yourself (in your case tho, you'll also have to keep talking - but if you wanna talk dirty, that’s ok with me).
I love your idea to spiritually cleanse the White House – I just don’t think there’s enough sage in the world.
Also, Hillary just won New Hampshire, so that’s exciting. Looks like we got a real race now, pundits and pollsters be damned (I won’t be voting for Hil in the primary, but still, it’s nice....)
And.... I think I know Mona. Cute, tall chick with curly brown hair? Yeah, she *swore* she wasn’t a day over 1,185 yrs old. That bitch....
Love you KATE!
It was Kate night in my house.....comedy special on LOGO and vlog.....YIPPEE!
I was screaming I HATE JENNY as well on Sunday night..... and the lothario Shane is back!
So Kate, welcome to vlog world, so glad you are here!
Kimmy
P.S. Our girl Hillary did very well tonight!
Awesome vlog Kate
I loved all your comments about politics, The L word and cleansing the white house. We all know how much that is needed.
HILLARY won new hampshire. I am so excited. I don't know if she'll win the nomination, but i'm so glad she fought back and proved the polls wrong.
Hill
She has on DADT but not gay
She has on DADT but not gay marriage like most other candidates. She has admitted in a private meeting that she would support a marriage equality bill if it passed in New York.
Check out her recent interview with the Advocate. She may not be perfect and not the ideal candidate but she is no monster that others make her out to be.
Great!
"Pick someone quick and lets work on global warming", that had me laughing histerically!
Please no more vlogs!! University starts next week and I´m going to fail if I have so many vlogs to watch!! Oh well sacrifices must be made.. I guess I´ll have even less sleep hours...
Welcome
Your gonna need to cleanse DC, not just the WH
After the politicization of most of the "career" jobs in the judicial and state departments, as well as the pentagon, cia, dept. of "homeland" security and the fbi, you better have truckloads of sage, because that village is going to need fumigation from the bottom up. That said, love your vlog, eagerly awaiting the next one. Question for "Mona"... Joan of Arc? Whose team did she really play on? Cross dressing leader of men, or just a straight girl who found a way to actually finally get the horse her parents wouldn't get her? (I joke I have great reverence for what Joan D'Arc acomplished, being just a girl and all) ; )
i'd say what needs the most
i'd say what needs the most sage is the OEOB. bush is bad, but cheney is much scarier.
hot
smart is hot
strong is hot
kate is soooo hot
I SO LOVE KATE!
What a great addition to AfterEllen!! I've been an avid fan of Kate for the past two decades, and can't believe she's actually landed here! It's always refreshing to hear her smart, politically-educational humor (not to mention I have a great big soft spot in my heart for English teachers!). Congratulations on your "maiden voyage, Kate!" You were great, and I hope we were all easy on you! ;-)
I'm sure Kate is dancing in the streets of New York this Wednesday morning with Hilarity's victory in New Hampshire!
Rock the vote, Kate! Catch you back here EVERY TUESDAY from now on, promise!
Kate Clinton Vlog
Oh, my - fabulous addition to your site!
It's so great, it finally prompted me to sign up for an account. I've been a long, long time reader, but never felt the need to post until today. Thank you for signing Ms. Clinton up for this! Hillarious, gorgeous, intelligent, and on and on. Any chance we can get her to do a new one every day?!
And another great vlog for
And another great vlog for AE! I just love how popular the site is getting, haha! Now I have something to look forward to on Tuesdays too!
And sorry Kate, I'm terrible at coming up with questions...

More Kate Clinton Please!
Touchy Subject
Kate, First I'd like to say your first vlog was great! The next thing is a little more awkward, I don't know if you remember me, from about 22 years ago, we met at a gig you had in San Francisco. This is difficult for me to say, especially when so much time has gone by, but...I had your baby. She's all grown up now, and just graduated from UMass. She has you eyes. I haven't told her you're her other mother yet, but plan to after I finish this pitcher of Margaritas. Looking forward to your next vlog!
I love random stream of
Kate's great, ITA, but the 1st vlog was just, well, so-so...
I am your Love Child!
Hey momma! I knew one day I would find you! Mother said you had been killed in a heroic rescue of a litter of kittens from up a tree in Central Park - why were you up a tree momma? Also while I am posing questions why do domestic cats have kittens but big scary ones like lions have cubs? Any clue? But I knew better!
I think you would be proud of me as I have turned into quite a woman (well old enough to be your daughter really ). If you need a protester for any LGBT issues I am there - I got my protest sign all ready for a cafe which refused to serve Elderberry Tea with a spring of mint - how are we lesbians to live! This was just out and out discrimination and requires us to stand up and be counted.
I am a wooly liberal who thinks anything goes for any one right up until it affects me personally. God and I have a good working relationship and she tells me God Adores You (did you get what I did there with the letters?)
Well, I could go on about what a chip off the old block I feel but I can hear you arteries hardening from here ( here is across the pond by the way) But sweet momma I will look you up Tuesdays and Fridays and when next I am in the Big Apple I will be sure to stop by - you'll recognise me I 'll be wearing a button badge with ' Kate Clinton - no I said KATE - is my momma' Happy days there you giver of life you!
Not a Fan then Suuzb?
After Ellen Has Finally Done It...
political comedian?!
It was a nice first attempt (crucify her!, crucify her!!), but frankly it annoyed me everytime kate stopped to stress if she was speaking too quickly and I was under the impression that the vlog was supposed to be funny or something...it wasn't.
I hope you have better luck with the next one.
~kisses are a better fate than wisdom~
I thought it was great
I enjoyed the vlog. Wish it were a little longer.
*laughs* - Mike Huckabee won because he plays the bass. (So true) I can just see t-shirts and signs now: 'Mike Huckabee Rocks!' (picture of him playing bass) or 'Party like a Rockstar' (his face on shirt)
