I'll Take Your Goats, and Raise You a Baboon

I read this news article the other day about former President Clinton getting offered 40 goats and 20 cows for Chelsea Clinton's hand in marriage. Apparently, that is the traditional African way of getting a woman's hand in marriage. It seems that after some slick diplomatic protocol Clinton was able to decline the offer graciously.

Makes me think though...IF Clinton believed in the Kenyan way of treating women as property, what would it take for him to have taken the offer that was put on the table? Well, according to the article, 40 goats and 20 cows is a very good dowry...but given Clinton's past experience I think they would have had to throw in a naive Kenyan intern, a blue dress and a presidential cigar.

Apparently Chelsea has way too much going for her to be wooed by such methods. However, if that Kenyan Official waits patiently, he may be able to use his tactics on a freshly brainwashed Katie Holmes after the kool aid wears off.
