Line 23:
While he was still President of the United States (1993-2000), Bill Clinton had the distinction of appearing twice in ''[[Beavis and Butt-head (TV series)|Beavis and Butt-head]]'' productions (the episode "Citizen Butt-head" and the movie ''Beavis and Butt-head Do America''), and once as part of a ''Daria'' [[alter ego]] picture featuring [[Janet Barch]] as Monica Lewinsky.
 
In "Citizen Butt-head," Clinton actually meets freshman [[Daria Morgendorffer]], one of a group of [[Highland High]] honor students selected to ask questions of the president. Daria's question, which went unanswered because of an untimely interruption by [[Beavis and Butt-head]], was: "Mister President, in your campaign you promised to help every young person get a college education. Did you mean that or were you just jerking us around?" Clinton turns out to be amused by the duo's antics, and when Daria saves the misbehaving B&B from the Secret Service by telling everyone that they are "special," which leads, Clinton to give the boys Student of the Year awards for coming so far despite being "hormonally challenged". Daria is ignored thereafter. In ''Beavis and Butt-head Do America,'' President Clinton makes the two wienerheads honorary members of the BATF for their "help" in saving the world. Butt-head is unable to locate Chelsea Clinton in the White House, however.
 
A [[Tuckerization]] relevant here is Clinton County, from [[TAG]]'s "[[Invisible Planet]]," which was a play on [[Carter County]] from ''[[The Daria Diaries]]''.
 
Bill Clinton has appeared in cameos on numerous other animated shows, such as ''The Simpsons,'' ''South Park,'' and ''Family Guy,'' and in political newspaper comics running the spectrum from "Doonesbury" to "Mallard Fillmore." It is left to others to explain his popularity in cartoon/comics media. He does seem to get around.
 
==Texas Governor George W. Bush==
 
While he made no appearance in the show, "[[The Daria Database]]" includes a letter written by [[Angela Li]] to Bush praising his number of executions and hoping he runs for President.
