Clinton Kills At Gridiron Dinner...An Excerpt...

Bill Clinton Gridiron Dinner: Former President Jokes About Democrats, Republicans, And Himself


WASHINGTON — Former President Bill Clinton poked fun at Republicans, Democrats, his own health and his audience of reporters Saturday night, telling the Gridiron Club's annual dinner he was there because "I really didn't have anything much better to do tonight."


In another reference to his health, Clinton said his favorite cocktail now was "Lipitor on the rocks," referring to the widely prescribed cholesterol-lowering medicine.

He said that when Obama appeared recently on Fox News the president was "keeping his word about meeting with hostile leaders without preconditions."

In a poke at Obama's combative chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel, the former president said, "I found Rahm. I created him. I made him what he is today. I am so sorry."

In the 1990s, Emanuel worked in Clinton's White House.

6. Apparently Bill Clinton worked the phones last night for HCR. What an asset he has been for the
Obama White House.
