Kenyan Official Offers Goats, Cows To Wed Chelsea Clinton
POSTED: 11:37 am EDT July 28, 2005
NAIROBI, Kenya -- How does 40 goats and 20 cows sound for Chelsea Clinton's hand in marriage?
A Kenyan city councilman, Godwin Kipkemoi Chepkurgor, said he made former President Bill Clinton that offer five years ago. Chepkurgor wrote Clinton asking for Chelsea's hand in 2000 when Clinton visited Kenya. He's still awaiting an answer.
The councilman told the East African Standard newspaper that he's vowed to remain single until he gets word on marrying Chelsea. The African official told Clinton of plans for a grand wedding presided over by South African Nobel Peace Prize winner Archbishop Desmond Tutu. He added the offer of goats and cows is a traditional African dowry.
However he said the letter prompted security checks on him, his family and his classmates.
It's unlikely Clinton ever received the offer. A security official told the Standard the letter probably never made it out of the office because authorities thought Chepkurgor "just took the joke too far."

not a strong enough phrase for me. I'm thinking it cleansed my colon though.
