clinton. >> i'm more nervous than dick cheney's best hunting dog. >> larry: stephen colbert. >> the guys like us we don't pay attention to the polls. we know that -- that polls are just a collection of statistics that reflect what people are thinking in reality. >> larry: and wanda psychs. >> even the media you know you guys have been very favorable towards the president. you know it's funny to me that they've never caught you smoking but they somehow always catch you with your shirt off. >> larry: next on "larry king live." welcome to a very special weekend edition of "larry king live." the black ties and cocktail dresses are now the washington tonight where the white house correspondents' association din serunder way, and as usual, we expect lots of great comedy, lots of laughs and over the

years, i've interviewed some of the best political comedians and impersonators around. in 2006, i sat down with steve bridges, remember him? his dead-on impersonation of george w. bush at that year's gala. gave us two presidents for the price of one. great stuff. >> members of the white house correspondents' association, distinguished guests, ladies and gentlem gentlemen, here i am. >> could be home asleep. little barney curled up at my feet. but no, i got to pretend i like being here. >> larry: mr. president. >> hey, larry, good to see you. great to see you. >> larry: welcome aboard. >> thank you, thank you, a pleasure to be here. it's -- thanks for having me. it's always good to face the

media, set the record straight. >> larry: you've had some differences with the media. >> it's true. you're darn right i have. you know the media makes -- makes -- it makes me look like i'm not smart by emphasizing when i misannounce a word. and that's just nonfair you know? and it's such a good thing, larry, that i can turn a phrase. because i can. i can turn it upside down, inside/out, down side/in, i can turn it and usually when it's all said and done it comes out the way i want it. >> larry: you're really getting into it. you feel that the media misrepresents you? >> absolutely. listen, listen, i never pretended to be the smartest -- the brightest bulb in the knife drawer but i did attend an ivy-league school. i just eye never let it go to my head. >> larry: you're faced with a lot of criticism, mr. president, let's be frank about it. your medicare plan has come under major criticism, being too complicated. >> listen, i know a lot of folks are confused about -- they're

confused with the desection. but i can assure them that it's not a whole lot more painful than the old c-section. it's true. >> larry: you still believe it's working? >> absolutely. the medicare plan is working. listen, this is a substantial increase in medicare coverage. and this increase will cover all of our seniors and senioritas. let me just tell you something -- >> larry: forgive me for laughing. you have a way with words. >> yeah, yeah. let me tell you something, larry, older citizens face the highest risk of death in this country. >> larry: no kidding? >> seniors die every day. i declare a war on natural causes. we're going after them. >> larry: what are the accomplishments in the office, in your administration, that you are most proud of? >> well, i tell you what, i have -- i have pushed this congress to make -- to make a lot of changes. i urge them to abolish the marriage penalty. the marriage penalty is wrong.

being married's penalty enough. >> larry: i know you're joking about the first lady. and speaking of laura, does our first lady play a big part in your decisions? >> hang on, let me give her a call and ask her. >> larry: speaking of marriage. >> uh-huh. >> larry: you recently tried to amend the constitution to ban gay marriage. was this a political ploy, frankly, to rally the base? >> no, no not at all, it was not political. my feelings are well known on the issue of gay marriage. and let me just say this about gay marriage, larry. you a -- you -- you can't make folks have a gay marriage. sure, at first, there's the wedding cake and the dancing, but after that, it gets tough. real tough. >> larry: but you're against gays marrying, aren't you? >> no i'm all for it.

i think that a gay man should be able to marry any woman that he wants. let me just get back to something serious, to my proudest moment. you asked about my proudest moment. i think it would be maintaining a trong economy while spreading freedom all around the world. >> larry: well the feds raising interest rates, once again. is that a sign that the administration, frankly, is worried about the economy? >> huh-uh. listen, larry, as you know i inherited a recession from my last administration but i assure you that i'm all over this economy -- both at home, globally, and abroad. we are. we're on it. i'm serious. >> larry: are you worried about national debt. >> huh-uh. don't worry about the national debt. it's my problem. i'm not worried about it. >> larry: but we're facing an enormous national debt, do you have some sort of plan to deal with it. >> i do. i do.

i mast ter eve i'm asked every day, mr. president, what about the debt? i'm not worried but i understand the concerns. and my plan is a proposal that i've just put before congress to sell canada. and -- >> larry: sell canada? >> they're not using half of it. >> larry: what about your border crisis with mexico? >> larry, i don't think it's a crisis. >> larry: hm. >> we have a lot of folks sneaking across the border in order to find a better way of life. stealing our gas prices. they're sneaking back. it's a win/win. >> larry: good point. >> yeah. >> larry: but you welcome immigrants, right? you want them to come? >> absolutely. it is my hope that foreigners just, like american citizens, can come to america, they find good jobs, good high-paying jobs that will eventually be lost overseas to china. >> larry: why did you decide to use armed national guardsman to

watch the border with mexico. >> because dick cheney wasn't available. >> larry: seriously, though, does the national guard have the resources to handle the demand? >> let -- yes. there are plenty of guards people. i'm even putting national guard troops along the border with puerto rico. i'm still not sure if they're a part of our country or not. i don't know if they're sort of a state, or not a state, it's weird. they ought to make up their mind. what's their deal? >> larry: we'll be right back with the president of the united states.

i'm absolutely delighted to be here. as is laura. she's hot. muy caliente. >> larry: we're back with the

43rd president of the united states, george w. bush. you've made changes in personnel recently. are you planning anymore changes. >> no, me, what? no i'm not going. i'm staying. >> larry: is dick cheney staying? >> oh, yeah. yeah, dick's staying. yeah. yeah, i think -- yeah, he is, yeah. >> larry: i don't think you two are allowed in the same place anymore is that right? >> really? >> larry: well, that's what i hear. >> well, it's true. i never know where dick cheney is you know? if i'm the decider, he was the hider. seriously. i never know where he is these days. there's -- larry, there's days where i'm sitting in the oval office i walk out to the hallway and yell "marco?" >> larry: now in your cabinet you're standing by donald rumsfeld as secretary of defense. >> uh-huh, absolutely. absolutely. i have absolute faith in our secretary of defense. look, rumpy, people don't know he's doing a good job. people don't talk about the progress that we're making in

iraq. i think it's so important to remember that iraq has now had free elections. not expensive ones like here in america. it's a big difference. and we're rebuilding iraq, larry. and we will continue to rebuild iraq. otherwise there will be a space between iran and jordan. >> larry: never thought of that. is osama bin laden still a big concern. >> oh we're going to get him. we're going to get osama. we know a lot about lim. he's -- he's a terrible man who thinks that this is just a game and this isn't a game. come out, come out, wherever you are. sucker can hide. >> larry: you must be very pleased with the job that secretary state condoleezza rice is doing? >> i am. i'm -- condi is a fabulous secretary of state. she's a wonderful woman. very smart. keeps me informed. reads the newspapers. >> larry: some folks around the world see america as, frankly, a bit of a bully. >> well, i dare them to come say it to my face.

look, larry, i am a uniter, not a divider. no, seriously. i can't divide. not worth a lick. but with condi's help, a wonderful secretary of state. i have learned to adapt to different cultures. now when i'm in russia, i walk like a russian. when i'm in egypt i walk like an egyptian. i'm sensitive now to different customs. and you know what they say? when in rome, do as the romanians do. >> larry: so you believe that we're making progress in the area of foreign policy? >> absolutely. look, 25 years ago, there were 45 democracies. today there are 122 democracies. some of them i ain't even heard of. there's a bulgarian, sambuca. we've got the ickey. the ickey stands are here. >> larry: you're still, though,

let's be frank, you're facing serious threats from north korea. >> we are and we're going to deal with it. the -- one the questions they face is why can't we unite north and south korea? and i say to people, be patient. we haven't united north and south dakota yet. and we will. takes time and we're going. we're going. and i tell you something else we'll bring kim jong-il to justice. but the how and why is for the iraqi people to decide. i feel strongly about that. >> larry: have you seen al gore's movie on global warming? >> nope, i haven't, but i will. i'll take a look at it. look, global warming is a tough sell in washington, d.c. nobody in political office wants to reduce the amount of hot air and our nation's capitol that is our greatest resource. >> larry: back with more of president george western bush, or at least someone who looks and sounds very much like him,

right after this.

the media really ticks me off. the way they try embarrass me by not editing what i say. >> larry: during this tsunami in hurricane katrina you enlisted the help of your father and bill clinton. >> uh-huh, yeah, yeah. my dad -- my dad and president clinton, they've -- they've done

some great work for disaster relief. they've spent a lot of time consoling people who've lost their homes. they both know what it is like to lose a home, the very same home. >> larry: did you -- does it surprise you they get along so well? >> no, no, no it doesn't. it doesn't surprise me at all. it helps keep mr. clinton out of trouble. it's like sending your college kid on spring break with mr. rogers. i always think it's a kick in the pants. mom calls it, dad's inappropriate relationship. >> larry: so you've become friends? >> absolutely. i respect president clinton. i do. he was the first democrat to win a campaign since jimmy carter. that's not an easy task. democrats have lost more than a jamaician bobsled team. but i do, i admire president clinton. he was the first president not to improve health care, the first president not to put an end to lobbyist, the first president not catch osama bin

laden. >> larry: have you been to his library? >> yes, i have. i have, yeah. i understand they call it the willi william/jefferson/clinton library. it sounds better than bubba's bucks. >> larry: are you wondering hillahill a hillary -- you are worried that bill clinton is helping hillary clinton in the campaign? >> bill's got the pants. he just doesn't like to wear them. i'll get in trouble for that. just kidding. >> larry: you bet. >> shame on me. >> larry: i don't read the papers. do you ever talk to president clinton regularly. >> we do, we do. >> larry: oh good. >> yeah we swap e-mails. he's onewildbill@aol.com. he would love to hear from you. >> larry: are you concerned about your recent poll numbers? >> look my age tells me i'm not very popular in the polls. i told them i'm not very popular with the americans either.

listen, i want to -- if i want to be in love with the polls i would have ran for president in poland. it's ridiculous. >> larry: is it true that your brother jeb might run in 2008? >> i hope so. he could lose a couple of pounds. he ought to start running right now. i am in all sorts of hot water today. >> larry: do you believe that history, that great book of history, will be kind to you? >> absolutely. i always did well in history. it's math and spelling that kick my butt. listen, larry, i will trust the judgment of the american people. i know i've done a wonderful job and when it's all said and done i will leave the white house with my head held high. i'll do it. do it proud low. i'll tell you one thing though i ain't leaving the toilet seat down. >> larry: the hugely talented steve bridges. he'll be back later this hour, as president clinton. but when we return, stephen colbert and some controversial

comedy you will not want to miss.

>> larry: on this white house correspondents' dinner night, we want to take you back to the 2006 event and stephen coal bert's appearance. funny, yes.

but not exactly a barrel of laughs for president bush. watch. >> tonight it is my privilege to celebrate this president because we're not so different, he and i. we both get it. guys like us, we're not someone brainiacs on the nerd patrol, we're not members of the factionista. we go straight to the gut, right, sir? that's where the truth lies right down here in the gut. do you know you have more nerve endings in your gut than you have in your head? you can look it up. now i know some of you will say i did look it up and that's not true. that's because you looked it up in a book. next time look it up in your gut. i did. i believe the government that governs best is the government that governs least and by these standards we have set up a

fabulous government in iraq. i believe that everyone has the right to their own religion, be it hindkbru, jewish or muslim. i believe there are infinite christs as believing jesus christ as your personal savior. most of all i believe in this president. now i know there's some polls out there, saying that that this man has a 32% approval rating. but guys like us, we don't -- we don't pay attention to the polls. we know that -- that polls are just a collection of statistics that reflect what people are thinking in reality. and reality has a well-known liberal bias. so mr. president, please, please, please pay no attention to the people who say that the glass is half full. 32% means the glass -- it's important to set up your jokes properly, sir. sir, pay no attention to the people who say the glass is half

empty because 32% means it's two-thirds' empty. there's still some liquid in that glass, is my point. but i wouldn't drink it. last third is usually backwash. okay. i stand by this man. i stand by this man because he stands for things. not only for things, he stands on things. things like aircraft carriers and rubble and recently flooded city squares. and that sends a strong message that no matter what happens to america, she will always rebound with the most powerfully staged photo-ops in the world. the greatest thing about this man, is he's steady. you know where he stands, he believes the same thing wednesday, that he believed on monday. no matter what happened tuesday. events can change. this man's beliefs never will.

>> larry: next, president clinton with a twist. don't go away. and that was an executive order. gecko: ah, gecko, actually - exec: with all due respect, if i was tiny and green and had a british accent i'd have more folks paying attention to me too... i mean - (faux english accent) "save money! pip pip cheerio!" exec 2: british? i thought you were australian. gecko: well, it's funny you should ask.

headquarters here in atlanta. a special edition of "larry king live" continues in just a moment but first get to your headlines. president obama will get a look at the oil spill in the gulf coast when he heads to the region tomorrow. the fast-growing slick is closing in on wetlands and it's already affect the fishery. the state of emergency is in affect all the way from louisiana all the way to florida. the governor of state of massachusetts has declared a state of emergency. officials warn that tap water in the entire area should be boiled before drinking. 8 million gallons are leaking out of the pipe every hour. as many as 2 million people may be affected by that break. heavy rains and flooding are soaking much of tennessee. the floods have forced several hundred people to evacuate their homes near memphis and memphis, police say, many streets are impassable because of the high waters. at least five people have died in central tennessee, in/around the nashville area. memphis, looked bad, but video coming in from near nashville is really just

incredible. let's check in now with cnn's jacqui jeras for an update. >> don, it's actually really bad all across tennessee. since this morning, some locations have had more than a fast rainfall. there you can see video. this is from i-24 in nashville, and 70 vehicles were submerged in this area and there you can see, an annex building which was washed away in the river, and then just crumbled apart as it hit up against this bridge and into these vehicles. we do know at a minimum three people have lost their lives in the flooding today across the state of tennessee, and unfortunately, it is situation continues to compound and will get worse, we think, throughout the weekend as more rain is in the forecast. now this is very widespread. it's just not memphis and not just nashville. all of this green that you see here is where we have flash flood warnings. that means where warnings and flooding is already taking place, and watches that you can see into the darker green which extends from ohio all the way down to louisiana.

in addition to flooding, we've got tornados to talk about tonight. we've got a plethora of watches in affect. these two watches that you see right here is what we call pds watches or particularly dangerous situations where we could see very large and violent tornados, be very destructive and stay on the ground for lo. we've got multiple warnings. at one time this evening, we had almost half the state of arkansas under a tornado warning and you can see all of these purplish boxes where we have doppler radar indicated tornados but nothing on the ground. there were some reports of possible damage north of conway earlier this evening. we will continue to monitor this situation. and break in as necessary. but, don, this is one of those few rare high-risk nights that we have here across the mississippi valley in. stay in the basement if you can. >> jacqui, thank you very much. as jacqui said we will break in

if the situation warrants it. live coverage of the white house correspondents' dinner. we're going to have that for you. the president and jay leno will speak at the top of the hour, live. meantime, "larry king live" continues right now. >> larry: as our special presidential edition of "larry king live" continues it's now our great pleasure to welcome the 42nd president of the united states, william jefferson clinton. welcome back. >> thank you. >> larry: mr. president, thank you for being on our show with us. >> well, thank you, larry, for having me. i tell you i haven't been on tv for quite a while so i'm more nervous than dick cheney's best hunting dog. >> larry: you seemed, though, have done a lot of interviews lately. any reason for this? >> well, i tell you what i've got a lot of projects in the works and i want to be very clear on this one point. i am hiding from hillary.

i'm kidding you, man, ipkidding you. she would have loved to had been here, larry, if nothing else but to say hi and roll her eyes. >> larry: i also understand you're busy on the speaking circuit, right? >> i am. i am. i've been touring my one-man show. hillary calls it the wizard of is. >> larry: and she approves of you traveling on the circuit? >> well, early on i thought about being a motivational speaker. but hillary frowned on my motivations. so now i just speak about my foundation. and then i hang around and i take photos. they're only 200 bucks a piece and they're $300 if you want them provocative. >> larry: you have seemed to have mended your marital relationship. have you found peace at home? >> well, you know that's a good question. i'll say this, hillary did spend a few months watching the movie "kill bill." but we've -- we've reestablished trust with a lot of love and a lot of patience. >> larry: what's the toughest

part about being an ex-president? >> you know the toughest part is losing the job title. that's the toughest part of all. i mean without the title i'm just another road scholar named bubba. >> larry: have you seen al gore's movie? >> you know what i have. and i think it's an important -- it's an important film to see. i think everybody ought to see that. i will say this, al was a good vice president. and if you will look closely at his record during his eight years in office, you'll see that he never shot a single american. he just -- he just invented the internet and e-mail so we could all be spammed to death. >> larry: you feel dick cheney should had been censorred in some way. >> not at all. huh-uh. i was a little mythed that he shot the only lawyer in america that i don't owe money to but you know what i understand dick's dilemma. i hunted a don quayle. back in the '90s i wish i would have shot some those lawyers i really do. >> larry: so you don't resent

republicans with their attack while you're in office? >> no, i sure don't. i mean maybe a little bit, okay let's be honest here. the truth is my impeachment hearings were a dark, dark time in american history. but let's look at the good that came from us. c-span had its very first pg-13 rating. they did good. you know i -- i tell you, larry, i have to respect the republicans. because what they want to do is they want to reduce the size of government. now i just don't think that indictments are the right way to do it. >> larry: so you have some compassion for george bush? >> oh, i do, i really do. you know the job of president, it is a ton of pressure and there are no days off. there are days you just want to sit down, relax, and google your own name. google your own name. that sounds dirty. >> larry: it does. we'll be back with the 42nd president of the united states, william jefferson clinton, right after this. don't go away.

to tell people, i used to always look into that camera and i used to say "i feel your pain. well it turns out that was heart disease. >> larry: speaking of which it was surprising how fast you recovered from the surgery. >> yeah, yeah. i'm taking much better care of myself. you know what happened was it gave me a good perspective on life. i was shocked to hear the doctor say to me i had acute angina. i told him i was flattered but i was already spoken for. so just back off. >> larry: how did the surgery change your perspective? >> you know what it did, larry, it taught me to appreciate the little things, like aspirin and bacon bits. i totally agree with president bush's remarks about america's addiction to oil. i, too, was addicted to oil. also butter and grease, salt, mayonnaise, stuff like that. i don't know what i miss more

the white house or white castle. >> larry: but heart surgery you've got to say hasn't slowed you down any, has it. >> huh-uh, it hasn't. in fact tonight i want to let folks know that i am introducing my new ex-world leader diet plan. i call for americans to eat less junk food. i'm calling it just say whoa. >> larry: the president's father seems to have become quite a good friend of yours. >> yeah, yeah george senior is. he and i -- we're having a great time. we're doing a lot of traveling together. we're helping people out. i tell you what i feel like a college kid who's on spring break with mr. rogers. but we have -- we have gotten to know each other really well and do some really good work. >> larry: you seem -- it's unlikely, but effective team, isn't it? >> oh it is, it is. yeah he actually calls me his other son, which is what he always used to call me, he just shortened it a little. i asked him if his real son, the

president, was jealous of our friendship? and he said that george doesn't know the meaning of the word jealous. he was serious. >> larry: and in the meantime, what do you have coming up? >> well, you know what, i'm just -- i'm just living a day at a time. i'm working to preserve my legacy. i don't want to be remembered as the man who built rush limbaugh's house. >> larry: so you're traveling as a speaker, running a foundation, what do you do to relax? >> you know what i do, i spend a lot of time at my presidential library down there in arkansas. you ought to come by. you should. you ought to stop by. >> larry: i was there when it opened. >> that's right, that's right. fantastic. as you know we have the only book in a nine-county area. i'm going to let you in on a little secret here, just keep an eye out for me next year on "dancing with the stars." it's going to be fun. >> larry: we'll be look forward to that. >> uh-huh. >> larry: thank you so much for being with us, mr. president. >> thank you, real pleasure. thank you. >> larry: next, comedienne wanda

sykes. she had president obama laughing outloud at last year's white house correspondents' dinner. it was a night that you never forget, june 1985. i had a feeling that night that this show would make it. when you get down to it, it is who, when, where, where and why? here i am, asking bad-ass questions. i do my best.

i would like to welcome you all to the ten-day anniversary of my first 100 days. i am barack obama. most of you covered me. all of you voted for me. >> larry: wanda sykes was the featured entertainer at last year's white house correspondents' dinner. the first african-american woman to get that role.

and she did not disappoint. >> it's hard to poke fun at the -- at the president, you know, because he's so likable. everybody likes -- you know, his t-shirts and bumper stickers, and listening to the radio, and people are dedicating songs, you know? i like to send out, "always & forever" to mr. president. what the -- people love you. you know, and even the media. you know you guys have been very favorable towards the president. you know it's funny to me that they've never caught you smoking, but they somehow always catch you with your shirt off. i know you're into in transparency thing but i don't need to see your nipples. is there a beach at camp david? what the hell. you know there's never a nipple portrait of lincoln.

plan. you know come on, first black president playing basketball, that's one step forward, two steps back. and really, are you any good? i bet you think that your game is really nice right now, don't you? yeah? you really think that you've got good moves, huh? i mean come on nobody's going to give the president a hard foul with the secret service standing there. he's probably bragging and everything. you should have seen me today, baby, i was what was that -- you and joe biden out getting hamburgers. the two of you can't hang out together. whose idea was that? nancy pelosi's? why don't you boys go out and get a bite. you show she was a hillary supporter.

what's wrong with you? oh, and god forbid if joe biden falls in the hand of terrorists. god forbid if there is ever a hostage situation. we're done. they won't even have to torture him. all they'll have to do is go, how's it going, joe? come back with stacks of information. what did you do, waterboard him? no. i just said nice weather and he's still talking. can't listen to him anymore. it's like torture. well mr. president, you've had your fair share of critics. even senator mccain. senator mccain gave you grief about the new helicopters you didn't order. i think mr. mccain was bitter because he wanted to be in the new helicopters. mr. mccain, i'm sure if you ask

nicely your wife will buy you a helicopter. rush limbaugh, one of your big critics. boy, rush limbaugh says he hopes this administration fails. so you're saying i hope america fails. i don't care about people losing their homes, their jobs, our soldiers in iraq. he just wants the country to fail. that is treason. he is not saying anything differently than osama bin laden is saying. you might want to look into this, sir, i think rush limbaugh was the 20th hijacker but he was so strung out on oxycontin he missed his flight. come on. too much? okay. >> larry: next, leno and letterman get in on the act. this. lives. how ?
