Stephen Colbert has a serious knack for getting silly with politicians on his HIGHlarious show, The Colbert Report, and Bill Clinton was no exception!

The former president appeared on the show to talk about the Clinton Global Initiative (above), but the comedian had a little something up his sleeve!

When the subject of social media came up, Stephen asked Bill why he isn't more active with websites such as Twitter. Well, it turns out he's just as insecure as the rest of us, saying:

Is Bill Clinton an angel in disguise??!

Probably not, but he is our hero!!!

The former president will be honored with GLAAD's first ever Advocate for Change Award.

Good ole' Bill was chosen for the prestigious award because of his past and present advocacy for equal rights.

Let's just say he has gone above and BEYOND the call of duty for the LGBT community.

Not only was he the FIRST U.S. president to appoint ANY openly gay and lesbian people to government positions, but he appointed more than 150 of us!!!

Not to mention how he lobbied for marriage equality in New York and North Carolina, and that time he publicly call out the head honchos in the Supreme Court to abandon the Defense of Marriage Act.

Stephen Colbert has gotten some amazing guests on The Colbert Report.

But there's one white whale big fish very slim former president that he's never been able to wrangle- until now!

Bill Clinton is going to testify in front of the joint chiefs of the Colbert Nation in just two weeks! Stephen says:

"I am thrilled and honored to be interviewing President Clinton, and I assume he is aware this is happening."

Stephen is known for his journalistic integrity, asking the tough questions in order to find the truthiness!

We can't wait to see what he'll grill the ex-president about!

Impeachment, sex scandals, fracking- or are those all the same thing? LOLz!

This is just AH-MAYZING!

Richard Branson and Bill Clinton have joined forces to help launch the social initiative called Haiti Forest, and we're loving that these two men are out doing good!!

The initiative is geared toward helping solve social and environmental problems in Haiti by bringing productive, sustainable and socially responsible forests to the country.

On top of the support from the founder of Yunus Social Business and the founder of the Clinton Foundation, Haiti Forest also has support from the Government of Haiti.

Excited about helping the cause, Bill said:

Just when we think we couldn't love Hillary Clinton anymore, she finds a way to prove us wrong!

The former Secretary of State has never shied away from social issues and was a huge advocate for gender equality before stepping down from office, and now she is also showing support for same-sex marriage!

In a video posted for the Human Rights Campaign, Hillary shares her beliefs on marriage equality saying:

"LGBT Americans are our colleagues, our teachers, our soldiers, our friends, our loved ones, and they are full and equal citizens and deserve the rights of citizenship. That includes marriage."

Preach sista!!!

She goes on to explain why the issue is important to her personally, saying:

"A few years ago Bill and I celebrated as our own daughter married the love of her life, and I wish every parent that same joy. To deny the opportunity to any of our daughters and sons solely on the basis of who they are and who they love is to deny them the chance to live up to their own God-given potential."

Can someone get us a tissue over here?!

Ch-ch-check out Hillary's inspiring speech (above)!

Although she is no longer in office, it is always great to see such an influential figure speak out for a great cause! We can't even begin to say how proud we are of Hillary!

While there were many moments of hope and inspiration from President Barack Obama's second inauguration yesterday in Washington, D.C. that will surely be remembered for years and years to come, we think everyone can agree that THIS trumps every other…HANDS DOWN!

Yes, supreme talent like Beyonce, Kelly Clarkson, Jamie Foxx, and Jennifer Hudson were on hand to provide simply stunning musical accompaniment for the event, our beloved POTUS delivered a truly powerful speech that laid out his political plans for the next four years, and Paul Ryan and Bill Clinton were responsible for some of the most HIGHlarious photo-bombs of all time…

But none of this holds a candle to our gurl Michelle Obama - and apparently, her supreme ability to throw subtle-yet-fierce BITCHFACE when warranted!

Now please sit down, get comfortable, and re-live all of the glory of FLOTUS clearly not taking too kindly to Speaker of the House's John Boehner during the post-inauguration luncheon (above)!

Sorry, McKayla Maroney!

You had a good run, but now it's OBVIOUSLY time to abscond the throne and let its rightful ruler begin her REIGN of FEROCITY! HA!
