Iowa women mistake Clinton — for Bob Barker

Makes sense. They’re both gray, both game-show hosts of a sort, and both are used to asking women, “How much?”
As thousands of people cheered along the Fourth of July parade route here, it was the tall man with the familiar white hair who made the crowd go truly gaga.
“Bob Barker! It’s Bob Barker!” two women shrieked upon seeing the former president, Bill Clinton, in the distance, as he and Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York marched hand-in-hand.
When the women realized who it really was, they seemed just as thrilled, shouting, “Ohhhh!” and clapping madly. A game-show-host-turned-two-term-president: how can anyone, even Mrs. Clinton, compete?
Exit question one: Does this mean Billy Jeff’s vaunted sex appeal is officially finished? Exit question two: Which of them has had more legal trouble from women? (Close call!)

Hillary told the ladies, “Don’t forget to have your husbands neutered!”

That is rich.
TheSitRep on July 5, 2007 at 9:29 AM
That’s an insult to Bob Barker.

Don’t forget to spay and neuter your former presidents and game show hosts.

Bob Barker doesn’t have sex appeal?

where’d you dig up that old photo?
jediwebdude on July 5, 2007 at 9:41 AM
I think it’s quite obvious from just this incident that people who would vote for Hillary are only voting for her for two specific reasons:
1) Vote for Hillary because she’s Bill’s wife
2) Vote for Hillary because she’s a woman
Other than that, what exactly are her qualifications?
BTW, AP; where do you get those screen caps?

Looks like Bill C. They both think womens chests are microphones!

Forget the case of mistaken identity…who’s the lady in the pic??

If Bill Clinton ever hosted a game show, I’d watch it. I’d tell my friends and family to watch it.
All just to get great ratings for a former president hosting a game show, to make the statement that this is the best he could ever do.

Bob looks like he wants to dive in and have a party.
I cannot believe that the Clinton’s, with the sorted history surrounding both of them, are still the darlings of the left. Immorality and shamelessness must be wonderful qualities for the liberals.

Number 2 is questionable. Number 1 is on paper, maybe.

Makes you wonder if Billy Bubba Bob Clinton has ever been mistaken for any local used cars salesmen?
pilamaye on July 5, 2007 at 10:14 AM
My takeaway – steer clear of mad clappers shouting “ohhhh”.
kjspeedial on July 5, 2007 at 10:15 AM
Other than that, what exactly are her qualifications?
What are her quailifications?! Oh I’ll tell you! I’ll tell you!………………………….
Apologies to Ralph Cramden…

Well at least ol Slick will have something to do after the election.
Now we know why Rosie lost out, the Clenis is a perfect fit…ooops, heh.

That is one of the funniest pictures I’ve seen in awhile. The story is pretty funny too!

Bill Clinton has sex appeal?
Ellen on July 5, 2007 at 11:01 AM
LOL!!!

AP–Question three: could Billy Jeff kick Happy Glimour’s ass?
I don’t think so.
Steve LLamabutcher on July 5, 2007 at 12:10 PM
I can’t wait for the Obama/Mrs. Clinton showcase showdown! (I’ll pass!)
SouthernGent on July 5, 2007 at 12:11 PM
Obama would win…Hillary has no idea how much anything costs.
James on July 5, 2007 at 12:24 PM
Wasn’t Mr. Bill’s stepdad, Roger Clinton Sr., a used car salesman? If so, that mistake would be very easy to make.
As for that gal in the blue dress, she needs a tee-shirt, with an arrow pointing upward, that says, “My eyes are up here.”
Bigfoot on July 5, 2007 at 1:00 PM
Oh my goodness! I caught the tail end of this story on my local talk radio station this morning, and I thought it was a joke!
Kind of anti-climactic though, that they were happy when they found out it was Bill…

Yeah thats the pro-tip of the day.
liquidflorian on July 5, 2007 at 1:31 PM
Cool, then we’d have an excuse to read her shirt.
James on July 5, 2007 at 2:03 PM
Two posts about Clinton in one day? You guys are going into overdrive.
Nonfactor on July 5, 2007 at 2:06 PM
Where did you get that hilarious picture on the home page?
RightWinged on July 5, 2007 at 2:26 PM
Also if I remember correctly both have been charged with sexual miconduct
PowWow on July 5, 2007 at 3:17 PM
sorry missed exit question 2, I’ll go sit in the corner with a dunce cap on…again
PowWow on July 5, 2007 at 3:20 PM
They haven’t even gotten started.
