STAN FREBERG HERE...Bill Clinton--Olympic Superstar?
Stan Freberg here. As I watched Bill Clinton's deft handling of the media in his joint press conference with England's Tony Blair, I was not only impressed, I thought, "Hey, here's a whole new Olympic sport!" Be right back. [:60 SPOT BREAK]
Freberg here. Presidential politics as a new Olympic sport? You bet! The various categories would be, "Ducking and Weaving," or perhaps "Stonewalling." Also for consideration, "Changing the Subject Under Extreme Pressure," "Counterattacking," and "Vast Right-Wing Conspiracyizing."
These seem redundant, but if performed simultaneously, the person could win the Triathalon! But the number one category for me would be, "Skating On Thin Ice."
Let's see the other countries' political athletes try and even come close to America's own Olympic champ, who holds the gold in all these categories: William Jefferson Clinton--a perfect 10!
