Outpouring of Love for Clinton at Signing

A conservative, most likely, could not have endured it.

At least 2,000 cheering, swooning, chanting Bill Clinton fans flocked to Eso Won bookstore in Los Angeles on Saturday morning to tell him, about 12 times per minute, that they loved him.

They did not care about Monica. They did not care whether he inhaled.

Inside the independent bookstore dedicated to African American literature, most told Clinton they were honored to meet him; some said they had waited all their lives for this.

If they could, they told him, they would vote for him again.

And, please, would he be the vice presidential nominee?

That plea elicited a bark of laughter from Clinton, who kept signing books and shaking hands, pausing only to sip a Diet Coke.

(While waiting for the ex-president to arrive, several customers even reasoned that if Clinton were No. 2 on the Democratic ticket and "something happened" to John Kerry, Clinton could be president again!)

Although customers were advised not to ask for more than a signature and a handshake, Clinton obliged almost anyone who asked him for favors.

How old were they?

>>Clinton obliged almost anyone who asked him for favors.<<

Then I guess it would be ok to ask him to kiss my _____?

It's unconstitutional, geniuses.

I wonder how much Coca Cola paid him to drink their soda?

[small voice in the wilderness]

Yeah, but let 'em dream. They also thought they would marry Paul one day.

Just before the election in 1960 I was home on leave from the USAF and happened to catch a news show interviewing attendees at a political gathering when the interviewer asked a very young, very blonde potential voter why she would vote for Kennedy, her answer?

Hee's sooo' CUTE!!!

[lonestar]

Idiots should not be allowed to vote.

I think I'm not one!

Here is a possible sign idea for the "Bubba" FReeps:

THE CLINTON LEGACY:
'I DID IT. . .
. . . BECAUSE I COULD!'

And the L.A. Times wonders why its losing readers and ad dollars.
