1st and 2nd Ex-Wives



Hope I haven't frighten any small children out there taking in Uncle Bob's blog. If so I apologize and sympathize.

Is Hillzilla catching a glimpse of the former Horn-Dog-In-Chief, Slick Willy, chatting up some Asian babe? Possibly.

Or could it be the front page headline in The Wall Street Journal Thursday?

"The battle to get rid of Cankles".

Uncle Bob wonders. You see...

When it comes to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's fashion choices, women often talk about her trademark pantsuits and speculate that she wears them to hide her "cankles" -- slang for chubby ankles.

During the 2008 election, the hilarious Saturday Night Live parody of Sarah Palin and Hillary Clinton (Tina Fey and Amy Poehler) defending women in politics had this exchange: Palin/Fey, "So please stop photo-shopping my head on sexy bikini pictures," and Clinton/Poehler responds: "And stop saying I have cankles."

The takeaway from years of public comments about her ankles is that Clinton's leg coverage has made American women fixated on their own cankles and that they're resorting to plastic surgery and new workout regimens to get narrower ankles.

According to the WSJ, the wave of women hating their cankles has reached such heights that gyms are coming up with new ways to specifically tone cankles; plastic surgeons now offer $4,000 to $6,000 liposuction procedures to slim them; and shoe companies are offering special models designed to minimize them.

Gold's Gym has declared July cankles awareness month! We can't get Obamacare soon in enough!!!

So, what's Uncle Bob's take? Whether Hillary has caught Bill with an intern or is concerned about her cankles, one thing is certain:

She sounds and looks like your 1st and sometimes 2nd Ex-wife.
