Slick Willie action figure?

The Toy President
Brought Down to Size

Bill Clinton recently spent part of a week in Los Angeles hanging out with celebrities, but also doing some business -- business, some might say, of a personal nature.

According to on former Clinton aide, the ex-president bragged about meeting with the creator of the TV show "Power Rangers," Haim Saban. No, not about a TV show, but about a Bill Clinton action figure, which would be sold -- with accessories -- in the Clinton Library gift shop in Arkansas. "There are any number of marketing and fundraising opportunities available to us," says a fundraiser for the library. "Licensing agreements for President Clinton's likeness could be profitable and carry his legacy to another generation that won't remember as well as we do."

This apparently wasn't Clinton's idea. Rather, it was something proposed by toymakers. Saban's Power Ranger toys bring in tens of millions of dollars a year as an off-shoot of the popular daily syndicated TV show.

No word yet on whether the mini-Bill would wear boxers or briefs.

Do you suppose it will be, um, "anatomically correct"?

Note to self: Buy stock in this company, it will sell like hotcakes. All Repuglicums will want one so they can play with his penis.
