Bill Clinton is offered 40 goats and 20 cows for his daughter
By Meera Selva
Published: 25 July 2005

Bill Clinton, used to a warm reception on his global goodwill missions, came away from Kenya this weekend with more than he bargained for.

The former US president must now consider whether the offer of 40 goats and 20 cows, made by an apparently lovestruck local official, is sufficient to persuade him to give up his daughter Chelsea for marriage.

Godwin Kipkemoi Chepkurgor wrote to Mr Clinton through Kenya's Foreign Minister, and promised him he would look after his daughter in style.

"Had I succeeded in wooing Chelsea, I would have had a grand wedding," promised the electrical engineering graduate. "I would have invited South African Anglican Archbishop Desmond Tutu to preside at the ceremony."

[VelmaD]

32. That was uncalled for

[wicket]

34. she's blossumed into a beautiful young woman

We all go through an awkward stage, and not all of us have millions of eyes on us during that time. Give her a break!

[Maru Kitteh]

FRench fries perhaps?
EEl maybe?

[opihimoimoi]

3. BUSH GOT OFFERED 2 GOATS AND 1 OLD COW FOR HIS 2 DAUGHTERS

[Bucky]

12. Throw Pickles into the bargain and it's almost a perfect swap

[emad]

[ET Awful]

17. One of which? The goats or the daughters?

[xultar]

24. I thought it was a used stick-o-gum and snot crusted kleenex.

[fujiyama]

45. I thought it was one pet goat

and a very hungry caterpillar!

[Greeby]

4. Umm

this deserves a :wtf:

40 goats and 20 cows? Pfft, everybody knows Chelsea is worth a hundred of each :P

[earth mom]

5. Clinton's thinking it over...now that should tell you something

about him. Just another rethug. :puke:

[Caution]

13. Im hoping that you are kidding about not realizing he was kidding

n/t

6. What's he offering for Gin and Tonic?

(The Bush Daughters)

A squirrel and a dead rat?

[SammyWinstonJack]

41. He'd be overpaying for Gin and Tonic with that offer.

:rofl:

[iamjoy]

7. Too Funny

Wonder what the normal going rate for a bride is?

Actually, that is kind of low. According to heifer.org a cow is $500 and a goat $120, meaning the total price offered for Chelsea is $14,800

Gentlemen, what would you pay to have Chelsea as a bride?

[Renew Deal]

15. $14,800 buys a really nice engagement ring.

[Renew Deal]

8. That's a fair deal.

If he throws in some land on the beach.

[tocqueville]

9. he wooes the wrong girl

Imagine what he can get from Bush with the right amount of cows and pet goats

[ET Awful]

16. Well hell, tell Bill I'll give him 50 goats and 25 cows

Let's start a bidding war. I like Chelsea :)

[ScamUSA.Com]

18. 100 goats and 50 cows!

:)

[ET Awful]

20. I only have 50 goats, but I'll up my cow contingent to 75!

And we all know cows are worth far more than goats!

[ScamUSA.Com]

22. 100 Chickens, 30 Pigs, 100 goats and 80 cows!

:)

and her choice of 5 horses, with my option to race em

[ET Awful]

28. 10 camels, 120 chickens, 50 gees, 50 goats, 125 cows and

a partridge in a pear tree (when in season).

[ScamUSA.Com]

29. I must withdraw from the bidding war

Too rich for my blood... sweet Chelsea will be but a memory to me.

[ET Awful]

31. Hold on, you might be in luck . . . my geese just decided to fly south

Damnit.

I tried to tell the camels and all they did was spit at me.

I may have to back off the camel and goose offer.

[ScamUSA.Com]

33. we'll have to leave the choice to her

be nice if our mating rituals were so easy

then again i'm not rich. I have no livestock resources but 1 dog and 2 cats.

[pitohui]

19. i suspect a gag

i'm sure it made bill smile

[Tummler]

21. Neil Bush has paid far less for far younger girls

Them Bush boys drive a hard bargain.

23. "The offer deemed generous":

'A Kenyan man traditionally has to pay a dowry in goats and cows to his bride's family and the offer that Mr Chepkurgor made for Chelsea is a generous one'

[smartvoter]

25. Reminds me of that Johnny Lingo film. nt

[VelmaD]

44. This is neither cute nor funny...

it's a sad commentary on how men view women in too many parts of the world.

[pinto]

46. Locked.

Buying and selling women is no joke.
