Condom Clinton at the UN
Patterico posted the following excerpt from the NYT re Bill for the UN:
Clinton also could bridge the growing divide between Washington and much of the world. He has been all but beatified in Africa, where his foundation has negotiated big discounts on drugs for treating AIDS. European heads of state eat out of his hand, and even the most hostile elements in the Arab world respect him as a peacemaker. He is so well known in China that a condom has been named after him, and his support in the U.S. cuts a swath across the ideological and socioeconomic spectrum, from billionaires to evangelicals to inner-city minorities.
{ed. emphasis mine}
Yes Grasshopper, the NYT thinks a qualifier to the UN is having a condom named for you. (Kathy shakes head). Patterico thinks the Chinese have something since Bill is indeed good at cover ups…

This is the 2nd pimp piece the NYT has done on the Clinton’s.
Do they really want to become like the National Enquirer? Really lose the rest of their “unbiased” credibility.
Makes me want to throw up!

I say let the UN have Condom Clinton, but get [the] U.S. out. Based on their miserable track record in Iraq and now Iran, it is clear that the UN is a wimpy, anti-American, world embarassment. The U.S.’s money and diplomatic efforts would be better spent in other ways.
Bill can represent Africa.

Sorry enviroguy, but Africa has been raped enough.
I think the NYT has it backwards, the world has Bill Clinton eating out of their hands - unfortunately he pays for it in American capital, strength and security. As long as he surrenders those two things, he’ll be the toast of all the despots in the world.
Come to think of it, maybe he is perfect for the UN. Just think Kofi Annan has such small shoes to fill.

I had to check to make sure this wasn’t one of those crazy stories I love to tease Jeanette about. But really, folks, who better deserves to have a condom named after him? That’s an “honor” I could live without!

David, truth is always stranger than fiction.

Actually, David, I saw this article earlier today, but there are some places where even I dare not go. Luckily the other bloggers don’t mind. I mean, it’s a dirty job, but someone had to do it, and Kathy stepped up to the rubber plate.

File this one under the “You’ve got to be kidding me” category.

Somehow this seems appropriate. I guess this means that Hillary can add this to her resume too!

“Clinton Condom”… plus nine-year-olds asking way back then, “Daddy, what is oral sex?” That’s his legacy, all right.
The UN can keep him, though.

Oral sex is when you talk about it (hat tip to anonymous child)
