Bill Clinton on Murder in Political Shows: ‘I Wish I’d Known About That…’

Bill Clinton watches shows like Scandal and House of Cards, and is fascinated by how high up the people who commit murder are in both shows. And he had some dark jokes about murder in Washington on Ellen today…

Ellen DeGeneres asked Clinton if he watched Scandal (and no, it wasn’t the kind of awkward moment you would expect from asking Bill Clinton, of all people, about that show). Clinton said he’s a big fan of all of Shonda Rhimes‘ shows.

Clinton said Scandal and House of Cards are great shows, but it’s the murder in both that really fascinates him. And then he deadpanned, “I wish I’d known about that in office. I mean, really, think of all the opportunities… so many times, so many people that have it coming.”
