http://www.theonion.com/articles/breaking-bill-clinton-finally-just-shows-america-h,29453/CHARLOTTE, NCDuring his speech Wednesday evening at the Democratic National Convention in downtown Charlotte, former U.S. president Bill Clinton finally just unzipped his fly and showed the entire country his penis.
Sources at the convention told reporters that shortly after stepping onstage at the Time Warner Cable Arena, the 42nd president of the United States quieted the audiences extended standing ovation with his raised hands and began to speak loudly and confidently.
My fellow Americans, for the past 20 years you have all, at various points, talked and thought about my penis, or at least heard direct or indirect references to my penis in news reports, in court records, or in the culture at large, the former commander in chief said. My penis has, in a sense, been a central part of American life for the better part of two decades. And yet, the nation has never seen it. Tonight, Id like to finally change that.

Clinton was the last American statesman. We are desperate for heroes.
Even a cock hero.

(9,833 posts)if some were offended by my juvenile and inappropriate attempt at humor....................NOT!!! Back in the early days of the Bush admin., we spent many fun hours here at DU discussing all of the harm that had been caused by the mighty, superhuman Clenis. Now, it's in poor taste just because Bill Clinton gave a brilliant speech??? I think DU has been taken over by a bunch of stuffed shirts. I'll bet Bill would have laughed!

(34,655 posts)is never more true than when it comes to humor. It's a very subjective matter.
Stupid is also the basis of much humor. Unless...you don't mean to imply people who might laugh at this are stupid? That's not it is it?
