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:

Former President Jimmy Carter loves weed!!

Well, maybe he doesn't love it, but he's totally cool with it being decriminalized.

He actually wanted it decriminalized back when he was in office!!

Carter agrees with states like Colorado and Washington on the fact that it's a waste of taxes and resources to put marijuana smokers in prison.

Was Jimmy Carter secretly a dope smoking hippie?

Check out the video (above) to hear Jimmy Carter's take on marijuana laws.

Way to be a downer to ALL OF CUBA, Castro!

Here's what the former President of Cuba had to say about his country's economic model:

"…The Cuban model doesn't even work for us anymore."

TMI, Castro. If you're having issues with your country's policies, there ARE slightly more strategic ways to address them. Now it's gonna be awkward between U and Cuba.

Good luck with that!

Poor Bill. Even his daughter nags him about his weight.

The already slimmed down Bill Clinton has been told by daughter Chelsea that he needs to lose "about 15 pounds" before her summer wedding. The former president said that Chelsea told him that he's "gotta look good" and he's about "halfway home" to his goal.

Seems like the proud papa is already having a hard time having to give his only daughter away, saying:

"I told her when she was a little girl that it would suit me if she didn’t move out until she was 25 and didn’t get married until she was 35."

Luckily, he's a fan of Chelsea's fiance Marc Mezvinsky:

"I really like my future son-in-law a lot and I admire him a great deal," he says. "He's a fine human being so Hillary and I are delighted."

We hope they have a long, happy marriage!

Oh no!

We hope she's okay.

Former First Lady Barbara Bush was taken to the hospital on Saturday to undergo tests after feeling seriously under the weather!

Jean Becker, the former President George Bush's chief of staff, claims that it's nothing serious and "this is definitely just in for tests." She is expected to be released within the next few days.

We sincerely hope that it is nothing serious and she has a speedy recovery!! Being sick is the worst!!
