..............................

He told a story from his administration of how at least once Mr. DeLay found some common ground with Mrs. Clinton.

He recalled a day when Mrs. Clinton came “virtually skipping down the hall,” telling him that she had “found the human streak in Tom DeLay.”

“And I said, ‘Tell me, where is it?’ ” Mr. Clinton said, as the crowd broke into an extended laughter.

But as Mr. Clinton finished the story, the laughter gave way to sighs, and indeed, a humanizing streak had been found.

Mr. Clinton continued, “She said, ‘Bill, he’s an adoptive parent, and he loves his children.’ ”
