Bill Clinton: “I was sitting there pondering--standing there pondering--[laughter]--giving the Vice President a standing ovation with…”

“I was sitting there pondering--standing there pondering--[laughter]--giving the Vice President a standing ovation with my stiff leg--[laughter]--how he had so much energy at 10:30 at night. [Laughter] And then I realized, well, he is a younger man. [Laughter] Let me say to all of you who helped to make this evening possible tonight, I thank you, and I thank Tipper and Al for being there with Hillary and me for the last 4 years and 2 months--not only politically but also personally, in a remarkable and perhaps unique way. I thank the Vice President for being the most important adviser I could have on a whole range of issues. There's very little he doesn't know a lot about, and now he knows more than he even did when he showed up here. [Laughter] And this country is much better off because Al Gore's been the Vice President of the United States. When Tipper and Al and Hillary were talking, I thought to myself, I love these Saxophone Club events, and I love to look out at the sea of eager faces thinking about the future. ``Don't stop thinking about tomorrow.'' [Laughter] And I was looking at Billy Baldwin, and then when Al said he was handsome and articulate and committed---- The Vice President. Suave.”
