New York - Sales soared yesterday of "Fondle Me Bubba" dolls, caricatures of President Clinton that utter suggestive remarks when squeezed below the waist. The Bubbas deliver such lines as, "I'll bomb Baghdad, I'll bomb France, if you'll remove my underpants," "Oral sex is not adultery," and "I feel your pain."

"We're getting a lot of calls," said a New Jersey-based attorney, Mr Ted Theise, who created the dolls. "We've been inundated." He added: "It's not really anything nasty. If anything, we've probably toned down from the real Bubba."
