The comedy angle with Billary should be easy to get to - linking the former prez with those dress stains and his wife's continued illusion to defending women's rights...just how difficult can it be? Email server not secure - but you're only the Sec of State negotiating with umpteen competitive states so that's OK. Or suffering mild pneumonia and having metallic objects drop from your trouser hem. Weird.
I'm sure she would have fully supported Monica's right to say no biggrin

Clearly her husband was incapable of it though!

I think it's a little hard to make jokes about a man's infidelity at his wife's expense without looking like a bit of st, though... Like Trump would...

Trump would but we arnt talking about trump we are talking about BBC comedy show 100% attacking one side, picking a side when they are supposed to be neutral.

Trump would because the media would spin it that way while ignoring her. Funny how right on comedians ignore all this

Yeah hillery stands for women's rights. Sexual assault her biggest standing point. She's full of st and a fraud exactly the same as trump. Playing a game.

There have been more than ten accusations of sexual assault on bill. But you know trump is dumb blah blah



We have to destroy her story,” Mrs. Clinton said in 1991 of Connie Hamzy, one of the first women to come forward during her husband’s first presidential campaign, according to George Stephanopoulos, a former Clinton administration aide who described the events in his memoir, “All Too Human.” (Three people signed sworn affidavits saying Ms. Hamzy’s story was false.)



http://www.nytimes.com/2016/01/21/us/politics/90s-...

“When allegations of sexual misconduct emerged during Bill’s 1992 presidential run, she’s reported to have said ‘Who is going to find out? These women are trash. Nobody’s going to believe them.’ Multiple people also report that she called the women ‘sluts’ and ‘wes’ — you know, for daring to be raped. A private investigator named Ivan Duda claims that, after Bill lost his second governor’s race, Hillary told him: ‘I want you to get rid of all these b****** he’s seeing . . . I want you to give me the names and addresses and phone numbers, and we can get them under control"

st they could do a half hour show in arkanside weather its bs or not or are they afraid of committing suicide by being shot in the back of the head them moving while dead all on their own.

Pleanty of meat for a right on comedian but of course liberals always get a pass.

Yes, the Outlook's bad for Hilary! So much for a frank Exchange of views! Thunderbird's a no-go for Hilary! I'm here all week, try the fish.

I love it - but doing so possibly makes me part of a left wing conspiracy that is the BBC , somebody is bound to tell me soon.

You have to completely biased to think she has no comedy value at all.

He is of course full of comedy potential and deserves all he gets. She is the same they didn't make one comment about her not one. If you don't see a problem with that then I'm not sure how your face looks po or other but you are definitely partisan

Which is fine, you can be partisan all you want. The BBC is supposed to be impartial so,should make jibes at her too. Which is the whole point a point which you seem to be deliberately missing, I don't care that they make fun of him all I'm saying is that they should do the same to her. I don't even care that it's 50/50 just say something

Does the BBC have to be impartial regarding foreign politicians?

Since when is a comedy program supposed to be 'impartial'? You're taking it way too seriously.

Because Listening to a one sided circle jerk is tedious. It's supposed to be a comedy show not a lecture.

It's like the 80s again where all they had to do was say thatcher. I didn't like thatcher either but it's tedious listening to the same old ste week in week out.

It's simplistic and too easy. Yeah yeah whatever trump is a racist and hillery is our saviour x 100000 boring, as I said up there she wasn't giving a comedy line some were but she was giving a lecture imo.
There are funny lines and there are attacks based on the persons personal politics. I don't find the latter funny in my comedy shows.

Still no doubt it will be different this week plenty of material about ukip they can go on about. These racist violent thugs got us out of Europe etc. Some of it might be funny.

This.
It isn't the BBC being partisan to Democrats or the Republicans it's about making fun of the moron who makes himself such an easy target.
Had the GOP selected someone who wasn't an utter tomfool BBC comedy programmes wouldn't be taking the piss so much. If the Democrats had nominated a comedy gold simpleton they would be going for them instead.

If the BBC make fun of Kim Jong Un are they expected to take the piss out of his counterpart in South Korea in equal measure?

What about Mugabe? To balance it up are we expecting them to make jokes about the Zimbabwean opposition leader?

It's not the politics - it's the person.

But hillery has plenty they could go at so it's not a fair comparison they are both caricatures.

But hey if you like the same ukip/ trump racist same st same comments every week good for you. Do you actually listen every week?

I happen to be in the car every Saturday from around 12 to 2 so I do. These days I'm turning it off more and more it's boring me change it up a little is all I'm asking apparently even that is too much ask.

Indeed- that's why I didn't say that. But surely anybody with a sense of humour - left or right wing- would admit there is so much more raw material to ridicule about The Donald ?

Absolutely no doubt about that.
