On the plus side, Bill Clinton winning “Father of the Year” is proof that there’s at least one award in the last 12 months that didn’t go to Lena Dunham. So, who exactly sponsors this award? It’s chosen by the National Father’s Day Committee, and the list of winners stretches all the way back to 1942, when Gen. Douglas MacArthur was lauded.

The mission of the Father’s Day Council is to highlight “contemporary role model mothers and fathers and their importance in the family.” National Review’s Jim Geraghty dug up a few recent winners.
Hm. I see Donald Trump won "Father of the Year" in 2005. http://t.co/XT0fwpHslg

Organization that named John Edwards "Father of the Year" to give same award to Bill Clinton this year: http://t.co/fCfK63Aols

Sounds legitimate to us. But is Clinton really the father of the year? It depends on what the meaning of the word “is” is.

@jimgeraghty To be fair, we have no idea how many children he is being a good father to. Could be hundreds.

Chad Johnson has a point. In a world where Bill Clinton is father of the Year, tapping asses may well be a sign of respect.

When @seanhannity reported that Bill Clinton named 'father of the year' I literally spit Starbucks coffee all over my dashboard. Thx Sean!
