During his latest phone-in interview Tuesday morning, Donald Trump appeared on NBC’s Today where co-host Savannah Guthrie attempted to convince Trump that former President Bill Clinton’s extramarital affairs (and specifically what occurred with Monica Lewinsky) were merely “alleged” and thus might not be fair to bring up in a campaign involving Hillary Clinton.

Why Have Comedians Skipped Mocking Obama's Greek-Temple Ego?

President Barack Obama's comedic Achilles' heel has been an open secret for nearly eight years. It took that long for one satirist to target it. Obama's ego became inescapable. Someone finally noticed this week. Was it Trevor Noah, Bill Maher or the team at Saturday Night Live? Surely HBO’s John Oliver found it first, right? We’re told he’s brilliant by a fawning press. Turns out it was Joe…
