What does Bill Clinton know about My Little Pony?

National Public Radio has a quiz show called Wait, wait . . . Don't tell me! Their recent guest was former president Bill Clinton, and they asked him questions about a strangely cute topic!

HOST: So you’re a former president, you’re a Rhodes scholar, you’re famously well informed. What could we be sure that an accomplished person like you would know nothing about? And then the answer came to us: the TV show "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic."
(Laughter)
HOST: Answer two out of three questions about the wonderful world of "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic" and you win a prize for one of our listeners . . . [First Question] One of the current My Little Ponies is Rarity. That is her name, Rarity. What is her particular enthusiasm?
A: She loves her little line of toys called My Even Tinier Ponies.
B: She loves giving other ponies makeovers.
C: She loves eating paste.
BILL CLINTON: B.

HOST: Yes, giving other ponies makeovers . . . All right, when ponies in Equestria discover their true talents in life, they earn something. What?
A. A tattoo on their flank, known as a cutie mark.
B: A title, such as Fluttershy the Inventive.
C: The right to marry.
BILL CLINTON: A.
HOST: A. You’re going to go for A, a tattoo known as the cutie mark? Oh, you’re right, sir . . . well let’s see if you can be perfect. The ponies’ most powerful enemy is which of these?
A: Krastos the Glue Maker. (CLINTON: If he’s not, he ought to be.)
B: The evil pony Nightmare Moon.
C: The cynical grownup, Chester.
BILL CLINTON: B.
HOST: B, you’re going to go for the evil pony Nightmare Moon. You’re right, Mr. President!
(Laughter, applause)
HOST: Nightmare Moon is released in the opening episode from the prison where she’s been held for a thousand years, and is only defeated by the ponies working together, and then they have a party.
HOST: Another victory for you, sir. You’ve done so much. Been elected twice, governor of Arkansas, the youngest governor ever. How does this stack up?
(Soundbite of laughter)
BILL CLINTON: It’s right up there.
