Kate Clinton and the "Gay Agenda"

If you know anything about out comedian Kate Clinton, you probably love her. If you don't know anything about her, I'll just say this: The woman is smart. And funny. And because smart is sexy and funny is sexy, you know what else she is.

For more proof of all of that, watch this new episode of the Gay Agenda video blog, compliments of the Visible Vote '08 site. It's all Kate, and all great.



(And don't forget: Kate will be doing a weekly vlog for AfterEllen.com starting in January!)

    Smart and Funny

    Yes. Absolutely. Beyond smart.

    But sometimes she makes me feel as though I'm in a lecture hall, and not a comedy club. I like to think that I'm a fairly intelligent, educated woman, but she can lose me.

    Despite that, I'm looking forward to her vlog. :-)

    hot for teacher!

    Kate Clinton's sass just wins me right over. I actually kinda love that lecture hall feel you get when listening to her...she can educate AND entertain!
    Can't wait to see more Kate on AE!

    She is fantastic!

    I've seen her a couple of times doing standup... I like her very much! And I had the same word association with Hillary!!! Ha! great minds think alike! I had her book too, at least one of them, but with the moving to Germany, I left many boxes in the US...

    I love Kate

    She helped me come out almost 30 years ago by showing me that I didn't have to lose my sense of humor!

    As to the lecture format, her early stuff is still perhaps her funniest. Less political. So hard to really laugh at what's going on now, it's all just so pathetic.

    And she went to my college!

    But is she OK? She looks thin.

    kate is my absolute favorite comedian. laughing with her political, feminist humor has gotten me through many a hellish day. i cannot wait for the vlogs.

    Oh, hell no

    I cannot stand Kate Clinton. Her contributions to The Advocate (where I first heard of her) are bad enough, but live she is . . . insufferable!

    Not funny, not likeable! She may be smart, but I can't get past her smugness and lack of talent. Please do not give her any more publicity than she has already.

    Love Her!

    I'd like to say I've been a fan forever, but I didn't "discover" her until fairly recently.  Bad lesbian! She cracks me up so much I have to grab my inhaler.  I love smart, funny women and she absolutely gets it.  Did anyone see her LOGO special from her It's Come to This tour for her 25th Anniversary?  It's priceless.  I can't wait to get the dvd.

    my wish

    Is for Kate Clinton to run for president she'd also be in the snow balls chance in hell category...but hey...at least she would be the real life counter part of man of the year...and...she'd make the nation laugh at it self.
