Bill Clinton: “We're going to have a--no, no, I'm saving all of that for Saturday night, Helen. [Laughter] Yes, but let me just say…”

“We're going to have a--no, no, I'm saving all of that for Saturday night, Helen. [Laughter] Yes, but let me just say this. Go back to my Inaugural, this last Inaugural, and even before, when Dr. Schuller and others gave me that great passage from Isaiah. A President cannot repair the breaches in a country, cannot unify a country, and cannot lift its vision if he takes personally personal assaults. You can't do it. You just have to blow it off and think about something else. And, I mean, my advice, as I said--you asked me yesterday, I think, if I had anything to say to Mr. Burton, and I said, yes, I do--I hope he will vote the campaign finance reform bill now that it's finally going to be put on the floor of the Senate--of the House. And maybe we can get it on the floor of the Senate if we can pass it in the House. So I think that's the way we all ought to be. I can't further the public interest of America by engaging in that kind of debate. I just want to lift it up. I think that we all ought to just--we'd do a lot better in this town if we had less personal focus and more public focus of all kinds. Thank you. White House Correspondents' Association Dinner”
