Clinton Regrets Reading
Short Version of Speech
By Andy Borowitzborowitzreport.com
CHARLOTTE (The Borowitz Report)—Former President Bill Clinton apologized last night for reading what he called “a severely abbreviated” version of his Convention speech, saying that he had planned to read a “very educational and interesting” nine-hour version but lost his nerve.
Mr. Clinton said that the longer version of his
speech “was packed with good stuff,” including a detailed proposal to
fix the United States Postal Service, an elaborate discussion of
America’s fisheries and waterways, and a complete recitation of the
Fleetwood Mac back catalogue.
As it was, the shortened version of his speech was interrupted by standing ovations many times, including for his reading of a section of the Manhattan phone book.
Mr. Clinton acknowledged that his speech went over well with its intended audience of diehard Democrats, who responded with many congratulatory e-mails and over twenty thousand proposals of marriage.
