Funny Guy

The President addressed the 63rd annual Radio and Television Correspondents'
Association dinner Wednesday night, with his hallmark self-deprecating
humor. He thanked the Association for providing dinner and quipped, "I'd like
to thank Senator Webb for providing security." He addressed the firing of eight
U.S. attorneys: "I have to admit we really blew the way we let those attorneys
go. You know you've botched it when people sympathize with lawyers." And he
had a zinger ready for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi: "Speaking of subpoenas,
it's good to see Speaker Pelosi tonight. Some have wondered how the two of
us would get along. Some say she's bossy, she's opinionated, she's not to
be crossed," he said. "Hey, I get along with my mother." Pelosi was not amused.

The President also spoke of what he'll do after his second term ends:
"President Clinton, of course, wrote a very successful presidential memoir,
with 10,000 pages or something. I'm thinking of something really fun and
creative for mine. You know, maybe a pop-up book." As for how this year has
been different from last year, the President said: "A year ago my approval
rating was in the 30s, my nominee for the Supreme Court had just withdrawn
and my Vice President had shot someone." Allowing a pause, he concluded,
"Ah, those were the good old days."
