Celebrities Spoof Clinton Global Initiative: Ben Stiller, Kristen Wiig And More Make Video

Saturday night, some of the top names in music rocked out to celebrate Bill Clinton's 65th birthday and the 10th anniversary of his charitable foundation. The show went pretty well, especially as far as Lady Gaga is concerned. Turns out, a bunch of actors tried to get in on the charitable action, too.

Their intentions were good, but the whole brainstorming thing didn't quite go so smoothly.

Kristen Wiig wanted to solve the carbon emissions problem; Sean Penn, hunger. Matt Damon wanted to lift the spirits of the world, while Ted Danson just wanted to flirt with his wife Mary Steenburgen (solving the world's problem of too little Ted Danson).

The solutions, though, didn't quite work. Which is why the video above is absolutely priceless.

Celebrity and humorous cover for another global elitist to remain in favor in the public eye. Glass-Steagal repealed under Clinton - huge move by the globalist bankers to rob the U.S. citizens.

ugh, remember how oppressive Clinton's tax code was and how it prevented all of the Job Creators from growing the economy in the 90s?

how did we ever survive?

Boy, you sure know it! I mean, all those jobs, the balanced federal budget, being able to afford a home, reasonably priced college education, feeling safe as a nation without burning defecit dollars. It's a wonder the whole thing didn't collapse right there on the spot.

With all that talent, you'd think they would have come up with something funnier than this. Except for the ending.

Ben Stiller, Ted Danson, and his wife were the only people in the same room at the same time. All the other shots were spliced together.

Sean Penn still has some serious comic chops. Now that's he's finally won his Oscar, can he please make one decent comedy?

I really thought that was Clinton's voice. I didn't know Kevin Spacey did impressions. Liked the lunch bit at the end.
