Bill Clinton: “Rock July 18, 1998 Blanche, that was a great talk. And I can't believe you remember that, but it is a true story. After…”

“Rock July 18, 1998 Blanche, that was a great talk. And I can't believe you remember that, but it is a true story. After we walked on up the steps--that story you were telling--the Irish Ambassador looked at me kind of funny. I said, ``Listen, those guys are from my home State, and I'm absolutely certain they're Irish.'' [Laughter] So he was fine. [Laughter] People have learned to make allowances for my Arkansas ways in Washington, you know. I want to thank Senator Pryor for a lot of things, for being my friend--he and Barbara were in the snows of New Hampshire with Hillary and me and our campaign--for many years of service in a stunning, wonderful, decent way, and for coming home and not only not losing interest but actually generating more interest and energy in the future of the children of Arkansas. And we are all very much in his debt that he is doing that, and I thank you, sir. I want to thank all the officeholders and the candidates who are here. I thank especially Congressman Snyder and Congressman Berry who have been great friends to me and to our administration and to our cause. And I want to ask you all to do everything you can to help Vic Snyder win reelection. He is a truly exceptional human being, and we need more people like him in the Congress. I ask for your support for Bill Bristow and his running mate, and Judy Smith, and of course, Mark Pryor. Every time I look at Mark Pryor I think, you know, the first time I saw that guy he wasn't old enough to vote.…”
