Former US President BILL CLINTON is a huge fan of KIEFER SUTHERLAND’s 24 show, praising the programme makers for showing Republican and Democrats in the same light.
Clinton, who led the Democratic party for eight years, admits he watches a lot more television since his presidency ended in 2001.
Speaking at a TV advertising event last month, Clinton said he liked 24 for “trying to be fair” to both political parties, “even though an uber right-wing guy writes it,” referring to Republican JOEL SURNOW, who writes and produces the drama.
Clinton also loves the WILLIAM SHATNER-starring legal comedy BOSTON LEGAL, declaring, “It’s something to behold.”

New York Senator HILLARY CLINTON is set to appear as a character on satirical cartoon series SOUTH PARK.
The US presidential hopeful will be recreated in two-dimensional form in an episode of the controversial show, which will air on US TV network Comedy Central tonight.
Sources from the network tell the New York Daily News the storyline will focus on a local rally for Clinton’s political campaign, but would not elaborate further on the show’s final plot.
Last year, an episode dealing with Scientology and TOM CRUISE caused ISAAC HAYES, who played CHEF on the show, to quit over “inappropriate ridicule” of the controversial religion.

Hillary Clinton is rushing to the defenses of four 9/11 widows, which Ann Coulter portrays in her new book as money hungry women, who are happy with the death of their husbands, the Associated Press reports.
Coulter, an American right winger, says in her new book, “Godless the Church of Liberalism,” that the widows in New Jersey ? specifically Kristen Breitweiser, Lorie Van Auken, Mindy Kleinberg and Patty Casazza ? are acting “as if the terrorist attacks only happened to them.” She also dubs the four women the “witches of East Brunswick” (which is the town the women live in).
“Perhaps her book should have been called ‘Heartless.’ I know a lot of the widows and family members who lost loved ones on 9/11. They never wanted to be a member of a group that is defined by the tragedy of what happened,” Clinton said in response to Coulter’s comments.
The four women also put out a statement after Coulter’s appearance on the “Today” show today saying, “We have been slandered. Contrary to Ms. Coulter’s statements, there was no joy in watching men that we loved burn alive. There was no happiness in telling our children that their fathers were never coming home again. We adored these men and miss them every day.”
According to the Associated Press, Ellen DeGeneres will be taking her talk show to New York City next month.
What’s so great about that? New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton agreed to show DeGeneres around the Big Apple during the comdeian’s Thanksgiving week visit.
On Thursday’s taping of the “Ellen DeGeneres Show,” DeGeneres said, “we’ll go see some theater, and we’ll hang out and do some stuff there. We’ll go to clubs.”
Clinton then replied, “You’ll go to the clubs.”
The talk show host proceeded to congratulate Clinton on her 30-year marriage to former President Bill Clinton.
Clinton told DeGeneres, “He’s the kind of person you really want to be married to for 30 years because he washes dishes.”
Clinton also added that her husband is recovering well from his heart bypass surgery and is working on his foundation and other international efforts.
