“40 Goats Mr. President?”

By Justin Gardner | Related entries in Foreign Policy, Kitchen Sink

“Alright, alright, I’ll throw in 20 cows too. You drive a hard bargain my friend. No wonder they called you Slick Willie… ”

Confused? Enlightenment awaits.

Former US president Bill Clinton has been offered 40 goats and 20 cows for his daughter by a love-struck African government official.

Mr Clinton was offered the deal on a recent trip to Kenya.

He was offered the animals as a traditional African way of getting a father to give away his daughter’s hand in marriage.

Was this offer made via email, perchance?

I have no idea. Something tells me it was not.

This guy sure has a strange eye for beauty. Besides, isn’t Chelsea already engaged?

I don’t think she’s engaged. But “Chelsea is ugly” jokes? If you think that’s what I was talking about, no dice. I just thought the story was funny, that somebody would have the sack to ask Clinton to marry his daughter. It’s oddly charming somehow.
