Bill Clinton startled by cobra

[Buzz]

Whatever else may be true about Clinton, I gotta admit that the guy's got charisma. Apparently the first thing he did yesterday, much to the consternation of his s.s. men, was to head down to the local vendors market in the heart of downtown - a real busy place on a Saturday morning - to mingle and chat with the locals. People down here have generally not been too fond of Billy, mainly because of economic realities that hit the local economy while he happened to be in office. In no time at all he had the people eating out of the palm of his hand. He shook hands, talked and bought a few souvenirs. He even met a group of tourists from Arkansas who commented afterwards that in all their lives back home they never came close to seeing a current or former president and here they were on a Caribbean holiday chatting and joking with Bill Clinton. Later at the dinner, he had the crowd right where he wanted them. His speech was well packaged and he spoke of his not so successful golf game earlier in the day not mentioning however that it was a bellowing little white sports car that caused him to miss his birdie putt on the first hole.
