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 love-struck local official, is sufficient to persuade him to give up his daughter Chelsea for marriage.
Godwin Kipkemoi Chepkurgor wrote to Clinton through Kenya's Foreign Affairs Minister, and promised him that 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 Aglican Archbishop Desmond Tutu to preside at the ceremony."
The councillor also gave the names of former Kenyan president Daniel Arap Moi and two of his college mates as character references.
Mr Chepkurgor said he had been impressed by Hillary Clinton for standing by her man through the Monica Lewinksy scandal "like an African woman."
A Kenyan man traditionally has to pay a dowry in goats and cows to his bride's family - the offer Mr Chepkurgor made for Chelsea is a generous one that befits a big man's daughter.
He said he would be willing to travel to America to visit her family, but refused to give more details of his suit, as it is private matter between the parents of the bride and groom.
Mr Clinton arrived in Kenya at the end of last week to discuss how the Clinton Foundation would help the country's anti-AIDS programmes but made no mention of his daughter's dowry.
Hey Bill,
Maybe the dude will take Hillary instead.
Take it Bill! That's the best offer you'll ever get (but make them take Hillary too!)
I think the guy's offer is excessive. A few pigs and a lute of whine would have been generous.
I wonder what the refusal of this offer would mean according to the local customs?
Better not risk it Bubba, hand her over. It's a good deal if you think about it.
She looks, to me, like she has been crying. I see tears in her eyes. I think it is a disturbing photo. Where did it come from?
She still favors Webb Hubbell, too, though.
"She sure looks like VINCE FOSTER!!!"

No -- pre-"Arkancide"...but we know Hitlery was playing house with Foster for some time (the rabbits that the Clintons are) --- you never know -- not with these reprobates.
Let's not sink to their level. As much as I detest Bill and Hillary, it pains me to blame Chelsea for the sins of her parents.
Unpublished reports tell the Herald that Clinton told the local official that he'd take only 20 goats and 10 cows if the love-struck local official would take Chelsea AND Hillary as a "package deal". The local official was later seen fleeing the area......
No, that was another false rumor spread by RNC operatives.
The deal fell through because Bill held out for a flock of sheep.
Bill: A word of advise: Take the cows and goats for Hillary and keep the daughter.....
One thing's for darn sure: Chelsea has proof that a number of men do find her attractive. It's not every day a woman is said to be worth 40 goats and 20 cows. That could add up to one nice wedding ring, by US standards.

If there was ever a Clinton victim, she is it. God, how can she live with parents like those two ??? Just total denial and alot of drugs, or whatever...
Hmmm. For some reason this line jumped out at me, and I wish it hadn't. ;)
This is a legitimate news story my good man.

Well, nothing would suprise me. The motto of those two is "anything and everything" -- we know Hitlery was taking her "revenge" on Billy who was buried in piles of bimbos most of the time (probably still is) --- these two are a real freak show of adultery, crime, treason...you name it.
America's finest.
Here's a photo of Hillary and Vince Foster --

"Let's not sink to their level. As much as I detest Bill and Hillary, it pains me to blame Chelsea for the sins of her parents."
Absolutely. I have reason to believe that Chelsea reads FR posts, BTW. And we should be honest about how Chelsea looks, and honest that this was a very hefty offer: one day she should be able to see old news clippings of this and laugh.
Chelsea can't help it that her mother and father are evil, incarnate.
I couldn't believe this was for real!! I thought it was from Scrappleface or The Onion!! Glad ol' Slick Willie is still held in such high esteem with world leaders -- who knows what they might have offered if he wasn't so loved??
".......offer of 40 goats and 20 cows...."
Must be a seller's market.
