Painted into a corner

“Bill Clinton’s official portrait was unveiled at the White House yesterday. Don’t kid yourself, there’s already trouble. Yesterday, Clinton’s portrait was caught hitting on Dolly Madison’s portrait.”

David Letterman

“Yesterday at a White House ceremony, the official portrait of President Clinton was unveiled. Apparently, Clinton’s portrait is so realistic that Hillary immediately started yelling at it.”

Conan O’Brien

“Yesterday at the White House they unveiled the official portrait of Bill Clinton. It’s very classy. It’s on black velvet.”

Jay Leno

“The Bushes hosted their predecessors at the White House yesterday, for the official unveiling of Bill and Hillary Clinton’s White House portraits. The occasion moved the current commander in chief to a rare show of gracious bi-partisanship. … Bush then handed the mic over to Clinton. It’s been a long time since this skilled orator spoke in the White House. I’m sure he’s got some profound words to share … [clip of Clinton: ‘All those kind and generous you said, made me feel like I was a pickle stepping into history.’] … Uhhh, I don’t get that at all. As a matter fact, if I remember correctly, your pickle’s already stepped into history.”
