Bieber apologizes to Bill Clinton

Source: The Hill

Pop star Justin Bieber apologized to Bill Clinton after appearing in a video urinating into a mop bucket and cursing the former president.

The 45-second clip of the 19-year old peeing into the bucket and saying "F--k Bill Clinton" was posted by TMZ.com on Wednesday. The singer also attacked a picture of Clinton with a bottle of cleaning fluid in the clip, which was filed in New York City earlier this year according to the website.

Bieber got in touch with the former president Wednesday evening to apologize, according to reports.

The singer tweeted that he had made amends with Clinton.

Thinks he's God's gift to the world, Mr. Wonderful--so talented, so famous, so incredible he can do anything he wants to do, say anything he wants to say, and everyone should stop their lives and pay attention to him when he does it.

If he doesn't get it together, or if someone doesn't make him get it together, he'll be another James Dean--dead at a young age due to his own stupidity. He thinks he's invincible, hopefully he'll wise up before it's too late.

Personally, I don't get it. He's not attractive, he's not a good singer, he has a horrible personality...why does anyone like him? Guess the teen age girls will move one once they mature a bit, and Bieber will be another golden oldie long before he is 30.

Beeb has an enormous fan base, which reminds me of a mini-version of Beatlemania. And from the Beatles, came the uncompromising political statements and wrath of John Lennon.

And when you compare the mindless and immature crap Beiber does compared to John Lennon, it really puts into focus what a little shit of a man Bieber has grown up to be.

But, really, at age 18 he can be excused as being young and immature. If so, then WHERE THE HELL ARE HIS MANAGERS AND PARENTS?

God, I'm feeling old for saying that.

I pity Justin Bieber. He's being used -- by his promoters, by the recording company that profits off his music, by the advertisers -- by all the players who are making huge amounts of money by pumping Bieber to the public.

I knew a gal in college who related to me that she had been a child actor, and mentioned a few shows she had been on -- can't remember which ones and this is a while back. She told me she felt used, inadequate, and as if she had spent her entire childhood in a surreal world where she was supposed to be happy, but the work actually made her miserable. It left scars.

Justin Bieber never had a chance to be normal. Commercialism has corrupted him. Pity Justin Bieber, but yeah, he's a sorry excuse for a human being. I hope he finds himself.

Bieber really needs to call and apologize to the establishment where he pissed in the mop bucket.

But those workers there, they did not deserve to have to clean up his bodily waste - or even worse, what if they didn't know he did that and mopped floors with his piss water? Bieber is 100% asshole.

Of course, Bieber apologized to the former president, but has he scrounged up the courage to apologize to the workers that had to deal with his piss?

That's what pisses me off about all of this. Seriously, I doubt Bill Clinton (or Bush or Obama or Hillary) could give a flying fuck about what a punk-ass douchbag thinks about them. But who does he go off to apologize to? The person in power/celebrity/one that everyone knows.

I doubt it's even crossed his mind to apologize to those workers that were stuck cleaning up his piss. I'm sure to Bieber those are just lowly peasants here to appease his needs. Fuck him.

Chef Anthony Bourdain doesn't take kindly to "young punks" who piss in restaurant kitchens ... so he went to Twitter and UNLOADED on Justin Bieber.

After TMZ posted the footage of JB relieving himself in a janitor's bucket in an NYC restaurant kitchen, Bourdain tweeted -- "The chef should have put his foot up this young punk’s ass."

The CNN star continued, "My dishwasher ain’t cleaning that up, squirrel balls!"

There's more ... "Looking forward to seeing him open for Menudo at the State Fair— in about ten years."

And just for good measure: "In a preemptive strike, I plan to tell my daughter that Justin Beiber tortures puppies."

What else is he going to do with his free time? New Yorkers are lucky he's not wandering up and down the streets, striking up conversations with random strangers, or that he's wearing pants. Hell, my dad made it six weeks into retirement before he decided that pants were overrated and optional. He just kind of sits around, watching TV and scratching his balls. His hobbies include checking the mail, checking the weather, and sending emails to people complaining about the mail and/or weather.

The Big Dog is probably ecstatic when the phone rings.

I actually grew up just a few miles from where he did and my family still lives there. He was not a perfect president, but he was a good president.

And much of my joke was based on the fact that the man loves to talk, and really doesn't care who he's talking to or what he's talking about. He has a way about him: he could probably come up to you right now, in the middle of the night, talk about rocks for two hours, and when he left you would thank him for disturbing your sleep and discussing the finer intricacies of sedimentary stones.

Also, if you're ever driving through, go to his library in Little Rock. It's a good museum, and I enjoy it because it enables me to pinpoint all the little ways his programs helped me out over the years.
