The Top 14 Surprises in
President Clinton's Farewell Speech
- Stopping to get out his wallet when the Domino's guy came in.
- "It has been a pleasure serving my country... I mean it has been a *real* pleasure!"
- Announced he'll spend much of 2001 touring with the play "The Vagina Monologues."
- Asked all Americans to "please buy some of these fine Amway products."
- *What* speech? It was eight solid minutes of Bubba chanting, "Who let the dogs out? Whoop! Whoop! Whoop!"
- He pulled out the sax and launches into a rousing rendition of "Take This Job and Shove It."
- After eight years of practice, he can "speak" without Hillary's lips moving at all!
- Bill revealed that Hillary is the one who routinely clogged the crapper in the Lincoln bedroom and that he's been taking the blame for the past eight years.
- Resigned immediately so that Al Gore gets a chance to be President, if only for a few hours.
- It came down to the very last minutes of his administration, but he *finally* kept his famous 1992 campaign pledge to eat 100 pickled eggs in under a minute.
- Startling revelation that *he* is Jesse Jackson's love child.
- When he coughed in the middle of the speech, cleared his throat and said, "Pardon me," Bush blurted out, "Ain't gonna happen, Cigarboy!"
- The White House Press Secretary announcing him as "President-Erect Clinton."
and the Number 1 Surprise in President Clinton's Farewell Speech...
- Announced that as a housewarming gift for the incoming President, he rescheduled Timothy McVeigh's execution for Monday morning.
