Discussion Groups / English Usage / April 2007Clinton jokes
Hi. I invite members to come up with all the Clinton jokes you can remember or even make up. I know it's several years too late. But what the hey. Here are a couple I remember What's the difference between Clinton and the Titanic? We have at least a rough estimate of how many people went down on the titanic. What will Clinton be remembered as? The president after Bush. > Hi. I invite members to come up with all the Clinton jokes you can > remember or even make up. I invite members to ignore this post. Some things are too low for even AUE.

[quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > Bob Lieblich > How about a round of jokes about jinhyun? Clinton jokes have nothing to do with the Clinton of fact. They are about the Clinton of comic myth -- a puggy man from Arkansas who married a lesbian, became president mainly on her account, and then proceeded to use his status on cheat on his wife with half the women in America. It has as much to do with the real Clinton (who, in the last analysis, is probably a quite unexceptional and boring man) as it has to do with the real Jinhyun. > Clinton jokes have nothing to do with the Clinton of fact.

I hadn't given it a thought till you noticed it, because I do not believe that she is one, but since you noticed that, you are correct -- it IS the case.

When I was in high school, I used "emulate" as an exact synonym of "imitate" until my English teacher took exception.

I don't know that popular usage agrees entirely, but for the most part dictionaries seem to, at least those applicable to US usage. Is it otherwise in AU? Or elsewhere, for that matter?

Is it otherwise in AU? Or elsewhere, for that matter? My dictionary agrees with yours, but I'd never thought to look it up before. In my mind it's always been somewhat similar to "imitate", but with the bias that the person being emulated was a role model whose abilities or achievements were something to look up to. Now, I certainly don't look up to GWB; but my comment was in response to someone talking about young women being likely to take Hillary Clinton as a role model should she succeed in becoming President of the USA. As for the reference to comedians: one of the few things I admire about GWB is his talent as a comic. He's even mastered the difficult British technique of delivering funny lines with a perfectly straight face. Let's give credit where credit is due.

I'd be interested to hear why you figure that he's "probably" unlike that: published accounts that I've seen claim that you'd be looking at Clinton for a long time before the attributes "unexceptional" and "boring" sprang unbidden to mind.

In the early 1930s, my grandfather, a staunch Democrat, used to say funny things about Hoover. For example, the word "Hooverize" had been coined years earlier to encourage recipients of European relief, which Hoover administered, to use it carefully. Grampa used it as a comment on the dire straits he thought the Republicans had brought us to with the Great Depression, and he said it with a laugh. Then there's the one about Coolidge, the taciturn president sometimes called "Silent Cal". A woman bet him she could make him say at least three words. He said, "You lose". Or something like that. > You'd think there'd be some Abe Lincoln quips out there, but I can > think of one. Maybe they only have a 4 year lifetime? In the early 40s, you could hear people mimicking FDR with things like, "Wah is bad! I hate wah!, So let's have a wah".

Vaughn Meader made a career out of impersonating and poking fun at John F. Kennedy and his family. Chevy Chase turned probably the most athletic president (Ford) into a klutz. Jokes about Nixon, Carter, and Reagan abounded. And Jimmy Carter and his brother Billy were not helped by Carson's 1978 joke question: "Who has the two biggest boobs in America?" Answer: "Lillian Carter." http://www.abc.net.au/news/newsitems/200501/s1287524.htm Lenny Bruce had a routine about Lyndon Johnson being coached on how to pronounce "Negro". > Then there's the one about Coolidge, the taciturn president > sometimes called "Silent Cal". A woman bet him she could make him > say at least three words. He said, "You lose". Or something like > that. The Coolidge effect is named after a joke about the former president: President Calvin Coolidge and his wife allegedly visited a government farm one day and were taken around on separate tours. Mrs. Coolidge, passing the chicken pens, inquired of a supervisor whether the lone rooster was sufficient, given the many hens in the chicken flock. "Yes", the man said, "the rooster works very hard." Mrs. Coolidge then asked, "Really? The rooster works very hard? Every day?" "Oh, yes," the man said. "Dozens of times a day." "Interesting!" Mrs. Coolidge replied, "Be sure to tell that to the President!" Some time later the President, passing the same pens, was told about the roosters -- and about his wife's remark. "Same hen every time?", he asked. "Oh, no, a different one each time," the supervisor replied. "Tell that," Coolidge said with a sly nod, "to Mrs. Coolidge." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coolidge_effect (I don't see an instance of the joke before 1989, but there's a 1968 paper with "Coolidge effect" in the title.) >> You'd think there'd be some Abe Lincoln quips out there, but I can >> think of one.

People have been making rude jokes about Presidents forever. When Woodrow Wilson was courting his second wife, people said that when Wilson proposed, Edith was so surprised she fell out of bed. Jeff Greenfield, "Just Keep 'Em Laughing", _Time_, 2/9/1998. I wish to protest against the vulgar jokes and songs used at theatres ridiculing the President of our country. However much we may differ in our views, we still owe respect to the dignity of our nation. One of the recent much exploited "shows" has a comedian (?) who sings a decidedly coarse verse, bringing in his lines not only the President, but his wife, in a most offensive way.

Mrs. Coolidge, passing the chicken pens, - - "Mrs. Coolidge, passing the chicken pens...": The farm has (BrE: have?) promotional ballpoints, as every self-respecting organisation does, with the farm's name and facetious chicken figures printed on it. They were shown to Mrs Coolidge, who then passed them to the person next to her. That's how I first read the sentence. But why did she have to pass them on, why couldn't she just be given one of her own? That, among a few other things, sounded a bit odd, so to be on the safe side I thought it might be better to check the word "pen" in a dictionary. I did, and now the sentence makes much more sense.

Four score and a lifetime, a cute story but not a joke. http://www.purlgurl.net/aue/clinton.jpg At a fund-raiser, I ask Bill Clinton if he would pose for a picture with me. He looks me up and down, "I'd like that, miss." Great! I am excited and move over close to him. Clinton slips arm around me and slides his hand down my back to just below my waist, I think, "Well, alright, this is worth a picture." I motion to my husband to take a picture, "He is my husband, Billyray. We both were born and raised in Oklahoma just miles from your hometown!" He looks back, smiles, "Is that right. Is your husband a democrat?" I smile back, "No, sir, he is not." Bill looks sly for fraction of a second, "Next time you should leave your husband at home." Of course I have to jabber being so excited, "Bill, my great-aunt Pearl and your grandmother, Edith, were good friends. Aunt Pearl made money selling white lightning and gambling. I am told your grandmother sold for my aunt Pearl over there in Hope at her grocery store." He is looking around then turns back to me, looks me over again, his hand slides down a bit more and is resting right on the top of my butt cheeks, "That's real pretty dress you have on." I thank him. "Yeah, aunt Pearl and Edith socialized a lot," my husband motions interrupting my bragging on my aunt Pearl, "Smile, Mr. Clinton." A picture is taken. We are captured forever in a flash. I am smiling and about to tell him more about my aunt Pearl and her need to cross over the state line to stay with my grandparents while "things" cool off over in Arkansas, things related to her gambling and winning a lot of money. He glances down at my necklace, I think my necklace, "Are you a campaign worker?" I look up, "No, sir, I am not. I am just a contributor to your campaign." He frowns a bit, "That's too bad. Excuse me, now, I have to move on." Then he lightly pats my butt! Some receive a presidential pardon. I received a presidential pat! I do not mind, not at all, actually I am flattered. I really like Bill Clinton. He was a great president and is a typical southern boy, just the kind of boy I like. He won his second term of office and went on to flirt with that Devil With The Blue Dress On. I should have worn a blue dress.
