Bill Clinton: “New York City December 10, 1997 Thank you. I was--please, sit down--I was sitting over there when Hillary was talking…”

“New York City December 10, 1997 Thank you. I was--please, sit down--I was sitting over there when Hillary was talking, thinking how grateful I am that she wrote that wonderful book, ``It Takes A Village,'' and how many copies it sold and how it embodies what we believe in. And then I was thinking that after we leave the White House, she could write another book and sell even more copies if the subject of the book was ``all the things I wish I could have said all the times I introduced my husband.'' [Laughter] Thank you once more for refraining. [Laughter] Let me say to all of you--some nights she kind of--she says, ``Here's Bill,'' or who knows. [Laughter] I am profoundly honored to be here tonight. This is a very special night. Hillary and I both wanted to be here. I thank the members of the Cabinet and the administration who are here that have been introduced for the work they have done, as well as for their presence here. I thank the Members of Congress who are here. I thank the Lieutenant Governor and the public advocate and the other officials from New York City and from the boroughs who are here. I thank Miguel and Marife and Dennis and the other leaders of this dinner. This is truly an historic event, because the Latino business and labor communities have come together as never before to support the Democratic Party. And for that we are grateful.…”
