This time, he must have inhaled.
Bill Clinton has a novel vision of how to attain world peace — an attack by villainous space aliens.
The former president said on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” Wednesday that an invasion by extraterrestrials might be the best way to unite the fractious countries of our war-wracked planet.
“It may be the only way to unite this increasingly divided world of ours … think about all the differences among people of Earth would seem small if we feel threatened by a space invader. That’s the whole theory of ‘Independence Day,’” he said, referring to the hit 1996 sci-fi disaster flick.
“Everybody gets together and makes nice.”
Bubba’s spaced-out comments came during a discussion with Kimmel in which the former two-term president revealed he had an obsession with space aliens during his stint in the White House.
Clinton said that soon after his inauguration, he assigned staffers to eyeball the Nevada military facility called Area 51, “to make sure there was no alien down there.”
His staff also boned up on Roswell, NM, where a UFO was supposedly sighted in 1947.
“I had all the Roswell papers reviewed — everything,” he told the bemused Kimmel.
“If you saw that there were aliens there, would you tell us?” the host asked.
“Yeah,” replied Clinton.
The former president — who famously admitted smoking pot as a student but claimed he never inhaled — said the sudden appearance of little green men wouldn’t surprise him at all given the vastness of the universe and continuing discovery of new planets.
“If we were visited someday, I wouldn’t be surprised,” Clinton said.
