Former U.S. President Bill Clinton received a standing ovation after making a surprise appearance at the 2013 Golden Globes Sunday night.
The brief segment, in which he introduced the film “Lincoln,” was apparently a closely-guarded secret.
Clinton walked onto the stage to loud applause, beginning:
“A tough fight, to push a bill through a bitterly divided House of Representatives. Winning it required the president to make a lot of unsavory deals that had nothing to do with the big issue. I wouldn’t know anything about that…
“President Lincoln’s struggle to abolish slavery reminds us that enduring progress is forged in a cauldron of both principle and compromise. This brilliant film shows us how he did it, and gives us hope that we can do it again.”

Host Amy Poehler returned after a trailer for the film played.
“Wow, what an exciting special guest!” she said in a giddy voice. “That was Hillary Clinton’s husband! Oh my G0d, that was exciting.”
Co-host Tina Fey soon ran out to breathlessly add: “That was Bill Clinton! That was Bill Rodham Clinton!”
MRC-TV has video of the surprise guest:

Jan. 14, 2013 at 2:30amThe Blaze is reporting again like a entertainment rag. I wonder if they watched Meet The Press today where they have so called Republican Colin Powel singing praises of the commie in chief and saying the Republicans need to take more of the so called presidents views. Is everyone selling out to this commie in chief. I remember how when Glenn was on Fox he was screaming about obama and his people. What happened Glenn, where did you go?

Jan. 14, 2013 at 8:46amYou’re right. What’s happened here to the Blaze? Some days I don’t even notice that I didn’t look at it. I guess Glenn’s sources for exposing the left have all disappeared somewhere. Sad.

Jan. 14, 2013 at 11:30amSince I never watch these hollyweird shows where they glorify each other for what?? So I missed whatever Bill Clinton said. Did he announce that he’s a lesbian? I read Jody Foster did her thing.

Jan. 14, 2013 at 1:59amWhy are libs taking bows for Lincoln’s achievements? First Harry Reid arranges a special showing of “Lincoln” for the Senate and now Bill is stealing Lincoln’s limelight. Do Democrats know the Republican party was started to END slavery when the Dems were looking to extend it? Libs are the first to say slavery is the largest stain on the canvas of American history. Actually, the “stain” belongs to the Democrats. The Lincoln era should be an embarrassment to the left. Instead, they seem to be taking credit for it. Lincoln was a Republican! Get off the stage, Bill

Jan. 14, 2013 at 1:53amMy Word, but people have a short memory.
The man is a disbarred lawyer and was impeached for lying under oath as well as being a disgusting pervert. Maybe he was applauded for having gotten away with it. People should have been throwing rotten tomatoes at him. A genuine disgrace.
And this from a person who lived in NW Arkansas for twenty years. I still remember laughing at the bumper sticker with Billary on it and the caption, “Dual Airbags” Lots of current and former residents still think of him as a gas bag.
He stained the state and the people there long before Monica’s dress.

A standing ovation for the man who got his “saxophone tooted” by an intern.
America’s Left has become totally void of morals and values.

Jan. 13, 2013 at 11:27pmThis is proper. The Democrats continue to act like they were the ones who abolished slavery, when it was the Democratic Party that opposed fervishly abolition. Like today the Dems pretend they are standing up for human rights, when it is that same party that fights for public funding used for the destruction of thousands of babies every year.

Jan. 14, 2013 at 12:39amIf anyone has any doubts about how disgusting Hollywood is, check out how they sabotaged the Streamy Awards.
The show was supposed to recognize all of the people who make YouTube videos, internet shows and vlogs, but someone made the mistake of allowing Hollywood sleezebags to script it, and they turned it into a three hour insult to everyone who was supposed to be honored.
Everything about the awards show was sabotaged. The humor was so raunchy that most jokes mentioned sexual deviancy, and the clean jokes were personal insults. Several people commented that it was as if they weren’t trying to be funny. They seemed to be trying make everyone feel uncomfortable, and they succeeded.
Several women who won awards were molested on stage by presenters who sometimes pulled their pants down. One presenter disrobed down to a thong, and when Felicia Day approached to receive her award, he humped her leg like a dog. A while later, two naked men ran across the stage.
And in an awards show meant to showcase “streaming” Internet videos, they used computer DVDs to display clips of the winning videos! This crashed after the first few clips, and it was never fixed. Also, the host’s microphone was kept on, even while offstage. And the “live stream” of the event crashed. Oh yeah, and for some reason, they had a guy who produces porn movies tell his life’s story.
That was the last Streamy Awards show.
