Bill Clinton actually said...

"He is not a racist."

"Yes, but not the ones you think. And it would be counterproductive for me to talk about it."

"I got bad press. Why? Because I told the truth, that there was a different standard applied to the finest candidate I ever support."

"There are things that I wish I'd have chose to do, things I wish I had said, things I wish I hadn't said. But I am not a racist. I never made a racist comment, and I didn't attack him personally."
