>>> and last but not least, hbo is going to present a documentary on our 42nd president, william jefferson clintons, it has been sanctioned by bill clinton, his full cooperation. my question is, rob, is will we hear about monica lewinsky? >> how can you talk about the clinton presidency without the biggest scandal? >> he's really made -- he's made history so many times. he's got the clinton global initiative. i wonder if it's going to even, you know, just mention it or delve deeply into it. >> if it's fair, it has to do more than mention it. and who plays monica? >>> also, hbo is developing game -- the game change sequel "double down" and they'll go over the 2012 election between barack obama and mitt romney. so that is going to be very interesting. >> that book "game change" about the '08 election was fascinating as was the movie. i think it won several awards. >> four emmys. >> now they're looking at the romne romney/obama battle. hbo should be hot as always. we'll be back. it's time to change the way we clean. it's time to free ourselves from the smell and harshness of bleach. and free ourselve
