Hilarity Clinton Video Blog: Episode 3

Comedian Kate Clinton talks about Title IX and the Seattle Storm, playing the gender card, and the importance of sticking together during the campaign.

She also mentions how much she likes playing the card game UNO. I used to love playing that as a kid! I'll have to pick it up again one of these days...

    No Videos on afterellen.com right now

    Doesn't look like any videos are available to view on afterellen.com right now.  Something is fishy in the state of Denmark.

    Kate, where are you?  I need my Hillery fix!

    Site-wide video outage should be fixed soon

    Sorry about the problems viewing the vlog, but annapro is correct - it's a technical problem that's disabling all the videos on the site right now. Our tech folks are working furiously on trying to fix the problem, so it should be resolved soon. Sorry for the inconvenience!

    Viewing problems

    I've been having trouble watching the videos lately, and I think that my settings for streaming video need to be adjusted so that the videos don't stop every few seconds to buffer.  I used to be able to watch them straight through, but my settings have changed and I don't remember how to put them back.  What settings should I use to have uninterrupted viewing in Internet Explorer?  Should I select RSTP or HTTP, and should I allow for multicast streaming or not?  Your help, as always, is appreciated.

    Uno Card!!!

    Why is it all the smart and beautiful women are approaching or over 60?  Cher, Tina Turner, and of course "our" Kate.

    Uno Card!!! Good one.  Kate is playing more cards there than Liz Taylor had husbands. :-)

    Great vlog episode again (I

    Great vlog episode again (I really don't think any of the Hilarity Clinton vlogs are going to suck!). About the time limit...I would rather the episodes be longer, not shorter!! :)

    Oh Kate

    I'm so happy you got your own vlog. You should have your own show! You should persuade Logo into letting have your talk show or something. Anything you do I'm guaranteed to watch.

     

    You have inspired a song. A song like no other before.

    *clears throat*

    Oh Katie

    And you came

    And you said really smart stuff

    That dumb the people don't get

    Oh Katie

    And who cares if dumb people dont get you

    Because I really do

    Oh Katie

     

    *bows* Thank you Thank you. This song is totally Grammy-bait.

    lol I got it and now that

    lol I got it and now that tune is stuck in my head.

    Kate, I have to say this was just a little to short. Can you have Brenda set the timer a few minutes longer.

    websketch's picture

    I so totally agree!

    That was way way too short, come on, we need more Kate! I so look forward to this vlog and it's over before I have a chance to think about a comment on the many things that are discussed ( insert whiff of sarcasm)

    Ok Go team, women sports team owners Yay! I vote for less bickering in politics and real discussions of the issues. And I wanna go to Ellen's bash also (obviously no invite here either) Though where Kate is concerned I doubt if Ellen would mind if you crashed it! Happy Birthday Ellen!

    Looking forward til Friday and hopefully more, more Kate.

    p.s. Cute song but cannot place the melody, hum a few bars.

    If I am correct the melody

    If I am correct the melody is Barry Manilow - Mandy. If I am wrong I'm sure aj will correct me.
    Aj's picture

    lol Yup

    Youre right. lol That was the tune playing in the back of my head when I came up with the words. I don't know why but it works.

"American Zeitgeist"? .. or if you remeber maxheadroom (fav show ,same age,then)if not it's about a gorilla talking head, credit tubes(cashless society) ,Blanks , virtual church, and zip babes. I'm not into crazy notions but I don't take medie's with sugar either. Look forward to the next dish.

    Longer Vlogs,Kate, Forget Brenda

     Hey! AE.com viewers say we want longer vlogs with Kate! Your wit smitttens me. Too bad I missed that bookstore Oscar Wilde. I wished I had a known about it earlier last year so I could had stopped by while I was on vacation in  NYC.  That's so awesome Lesbians are buying WNBA team. I wondered if more Lesbians will come out of the woods and buy up the WNBA and get a pro-women's baseball going  and buy them too.

    Did I ever say I would play nice?-Miss Ketina

    Longer!

    That was way too short no matter what Brenda says.  Hehe that's my name too and there are only a few of us out there. Take me to Ellen's party with you!
    a.seeker31's picture

    Yes, longer!

    I also think it was too short for the content you wanted to cover.  Alot to digest in that amount of time.  Give us enough time to at least settle in with you and enjoy it to the max.  Don't listen to Brenda so much.  Do YOUR thing.

    Naomi Klein's "Shock Doctrine" is a must read

    Thanks Kate for the book plug.  It really is informative and enlightening.  It connects a lot of the dots for sure.  I highly recommend it, along with Jeremy Scahill's "Blackwater: The Rise of the World's Most Powerful Mercenary Army".

    I hope it's not out of line

    I hope it's not out of line to ask, but I'm a bit curious since you keep mentioning Brenda - is Brenda keeping the typically-female name (and pronouns) during a physical transition? Or still deciding?

    PS to people suggesting Kate get a show on Logo...personally, I really enjoy the more casual nature of vlogs as opposed to TV shows. (And it's also nice to be able to watch things whenever I want.) Just my $0.02 :)

    A bit disturbing

    While I love Kate's comments and wit, she seems to be making a disturbing amount of disparaging and snide comments to and about Brenda.
    MyLoverCindy's picture

    Brenda's not a real person

    People, wise up! Brenda doesn't exist. It's a character Kate has created so she can "talk" to someone else in the room. Sheesh.
    Aj's picture

    lol

    Shhhh they don't know that.

    what ever happened to multi-racial??

    Kate, I love your vlogs.  I just have one issue: why is it that Mr. Obama would be the first black president, and not the first multiracial president?  Since when do we still prescribe to the one drop rule??  I understand that most Americans can barely grasp that Barack is black, let alone multiracial, but honestly, it is very ignorant.  It is the same labeling that Tiger Woods has been prone to.  America likes to forget about his poor Asian mother.  Yes, the race card is being played, but maybe they should be playing the right one??

    Chris Matthews

    Hello Kate,

    I think you are one of the best comedians alive. I love your dry sense of humor and your political humor most of all. 

    Did you happen to catch Tweetie Matthews comment yesterday on his show after his year-long abuse and sexist commentary flung at Hillary?  It was an exercise in self-pity and he never got around to apologizing to Hillary or women in general for his continued and outrageous hate speech.  He only brought up that one instance on Morning Joe where he derided Hillary's rise to the Senate and her current campaign for POTUS as being the sole result of her being a scorned wifey.  And, he lied about what he said on Morning Joe when he said what he did yesterday. 

    One good thing, the orgainized letter writing did have an effect because he was forced to say what he did even if he didn't apologize or take responsibility for his ongoing verbal abuse of Hillary and women over the past year.  But it was a great start because that is the first time that a cable network was forced to force one of it's on air personalities to respond to the orgainized outrage.  It's a start as they say.

    I am loving these vlogs of yours and it has now become one of my non-guilty pleasures.

    three Kates at one time?

    had an interesting experience with the vlog - I was attempting to esc from the full screen version in the middle of Kate's monologue and each time I hit esc the vlog began again - over the current one playing. I quit after three stereo Kates were talking at once.... How does this happen?

    Seattle Storm
