Bill Clinton: “California May 20, 1994 Thank you very much to my friend Willie Brown and to Sally Field for those wonderful comments…”

“California May 20, 1994 Thank you very much to my friend Willie Brown and to Sally Field for those wonderful comments, to Ron and Jan Burkle for inviting us here to their beautiful place, to Dick Blum and all the other supporters of Senator Feinstein's campaign. There are two remarkable things about this evening for me. The first is, this is the third time I have been here, and every time I come, when I go back to the White House, I feel like I'm in reasonably nice public housing. [Laughter] The second thing is that I want Dianne Feinstein to be reelected so badly that I have spoken at two of her fundraisers, but this is the first one where she's showed up. [Laughter] It's a humbling job I've got. [Laughter] You know, Hollywood discovers stars all the time, and now America is beginning to discover Dianne Feinstein. [Applause] You can clap for that. She's sort of replacing Tommy Lasorda as the person people think of when they think of California. [Laughter] You know, before I started running for President, that's what I thought of in California. I'd see Tommy Lasorda getting smaller and smaller and smaller on television, saying he'd shrunk himself with that Slim-Fast. That's what we're trying to pour into the Federal budget. [Laughter] Now the deficit is down; the Dodgers are in first place. I've asked Lasorda to take over the lobbying for health care reform.…”
