He's Still Got It

Sun, May 4, 2008 at 7:49:03 pm PST

After 2 faint, Clinton cracks joke about making ‘em swoon.

LENOIR, N.C. (AP) - Former President Bill Clinton is cracking wise about his ability to make people faint, telling voters in North Carolina he didn’t think he still had it in him.

Clinton was campaigning Sunday for his wife’s presidential bid on a hot and sunny day in western North Carolina. The state’s primary is Tuesday.

After one person fell during an event in Lenoir, Clinton joked: “Somebody faints at nearly every one of these things now. At my age, I didn’t think I could make anybody faint anymore.”

This thread deserves to go off topic quickly. Since the "Coexist" bumper sticker came up in a previous thread once again, once again I present my version:

he is such an egomaniacal, out of, liability for hillary now. and at his age, he's so fixated on having his "fainters". he needs him some swooners. that tells you how threatened he is by obama. he is competing w/ osama and he's not even running. and it's kind of pathetic. i'm going to tell im right now, "bill, LET IT GO BUDDY, LET IT GO."

One of the ladies who fainted bumped her head and had a real knot under her eye.

President Clinton walked over and said "better put some ice on that'

Emergency workers brought the elderly man in Lenoir water and ice and used campaign signs to fan him. The man was alert as emergency workers took him away on a stretcher.

Wow! He made an elderly man faint. I thought Truman Capote was dead.

I never thought I'd live to see the day when I was pleased when President Clinton got one up on someone else (no pun intended).

I had a lady behind me, during a concert, faint. She put her hand on my shoulder and dragged me to a sitting position. She fell backwards off the top of the riser. Thank goodness, however, she was fine - no injuries. Of course, everyone wondered where half the sopranos went for a few seconds. :)

At his age, Clinton should perhaps use a bit more Gas X before getting up to speak. The Two ladies who fainted got the headlines but accordind to my Man, The Reverend AL, the possum behind the stage passed out also and was not part of the story. Watch Al, he's always standing to windward around the Clinton's.

It would be really funny if the fainters were identified as Clintonian operatives. Say did one of them have a high forehead and bug eyes? or maybe look like a midget space alien?

I live in San Francisco, and we have traditional Chinese funerals, which are quite large, and are really a parade, for a few blocks. The bereaved employ a 10-12 piece marching band and professional wailers. Musicians do these gigs when they have absolutely nothing else, and I mean nothing else going on.

So, I got a buddy who signed up to be a drummer, which is just snare drum, slung over your shoulder.

The casket comes out, the drummer is supposed to play a long roll on the snare. So, my buddy is standing there, rolling on his drum, when out come these elderly Chinese women. They are wailing and carrying on like you wouldn't believe. One of them falls down on the pavement in front of my buddy the drummer. He stops drumming, stoops down to see if he could possibly be of some assistance. He sincerely thinks she is hurt.

She looks up at him for a second and says

"Hey, buddy, you do you job, I do mine!"

And then goes right back to wailing.
