Why is Bill Clinton still allowed in public?
The president took a very public and very uncomfortable eyeful of teeny-bopper-turned-superstar Ariana Grande. He didn’t just glance or bounce the eyes. Clinton appeared to undress her with his eyes on national television while the singer was belting out an Aretha Franklin cover at that icon’s funeral. The mouth dropped open. The old man’s eyes ogled.

And then, nobody did anything because nobody remembers anything about the old Bill Clinton.
Pete Davidson, hasty fiancée of Ariana Grande, certainly doesn’t know the history of the elderly playboy president. The green-haired SNL comedian wasn’t pushing and shoving with Secret Service after the performance. He and his bride-to-be snapped pictures with Clinton instead.
Another more insightful comedian named John Mulaney correctly diagnosed the generational amnesia. The kids don’t know that the rebranded president isn’t alright:
That is not the Bill Clinton that we all signed up for 20 years ago. Our Bill Clinton was like a big, fat Buddy Garrity from Friday Night Lights-looking guy, who played the saxophone on Arsenio, and his work in the STD community was not in curing anything at that time.
Mulaney is right. There is no old or new Bill Clinton. There is just the same old creepy president. The difference is that everybody sort of forgets about that one time he was credibly accused of rape by a lady named Juanita Broaddrick. Everybody also sort of laughs off that other time Clinton abused Monica Lewinsky in the Oval Office, a 22-year-old intern just a couple years younger than Ariana Grande.
But don’t get confused by the tight suits and the weight loss. Clinton still has the appetites, and, yeah, Clinton is still a creep.
