A Bubba Call

The robo-calls are starting.
I just got one from Chappaqua resident Bill Clinton—or maybe it was just a guy disguising his voice. It is Halloween, isn’t it.
Besides, there’s more than few car dealerships around here that hire bad impressionists to appear in radio and cable-TV commercials masquerading as the former first president. And it’s not all that hard to effect Clinton’s twangy voice.
I mean, there’s no possible way I could tell if that was a phone recording from the real Bubba. It could have been anybody.
Even I could have done Clinton’s voice.
Of course, if it had been me I would have added heavy breathing to give it the perfect Clintonian edge. Then I would’ve said: “Hey baby, this is your old president, Bill. Your husband isn’t home, is he? I hope not. Hah, I’m just kiddin’ ya!”
In any case, the 10-second call was on behalf of County Executive Andy Spano, who is seeking his fourth term on Tuesday. I expect Hillary, or the Bam will call next…or maybe Jack Nicholson. How about the Guvenator of Cal—ee-forn-i-a?
“Hallo, dis is Ahnald. Dohn be a gurlee mahn…vote for Ahn-dee Spah-no!”

It depends upon what the meaning of the word “call” is. If you mean (and I think this is the accepted definition,) picking up a phone and dialing a number, then no, I did not make that call. If you ask me if I am calling people, as in the present tense, then no, I am not calling people. I am not saying that calls were not made; what I am saying is that if calls were indeed made, that to the best of my recollection, if I had know of those calls, which I probably didn’t, such “calls” would not fit into the normal definition of “calls,” as such. – Bill
Those claiming that actual “calls” were made are part of a vast right wing conspiracy Matt. Hillary
You really have got the “Guvernator” down !
I guess having a novice leftie turd/toadie running instead of a real leader, is good enough for the vast celebrity conspiracy once known as the “Democratic Party”
After all, he supports Cuomo, who supports Kennedy, who supports Huffington , who supports Roman Polanski, Jah ?
