Who says you can’t profit from having a son or a daugher these days?
Former US president Bill Clinton has been offered 40 goats and 20 cows for his daughter by a love-struck African government official.
That’s more than anyone offered for Janet Reno. MORE:
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.
The dowry is a very generous one by the country’s own standards.
Godwin Kipkemoi Chepkurgor wrote to Mr Clinton through Kenya’s Foreign Minister.
He said: “Had I succeeded in wooing Chelsea, I would have had a grand wedding.
“I would have invited South African Anglican Archbishop Desmond Tutu to preside at the ceremony.”
We can hear Rush now:”Did you hear? Chelsea Clinton was married and there was a tutu at the wedding. This is what I’ve told you, folks, about these Democrats. Hillary did it…”
And speaking of Hillary:
Mr Chepkurgor also said he was also impressed by Mr Clinton’s wife, Hillary, for standing by Mr Clinton during the Monica Lewinksy scandal.He said Mrs Clinton acted like a “like an African woman”
