I didn't remember this and thought you were kidding, but . . .

I couldn't believe Chris made that joke - I guess it was Chris - about that Peruvian mummy. [Laughter] But I want you to know that Hillary went to welcome that mummy to the National Geographic building yesterday, she and President Fujimori of Peru. And then he came over to see me and he kind of hurt my feelings that I didn't get to go. He brought me two pictures of that mummy. I don't know if you've seen that mummy. [Laughter] But, you know, if I were a single man, I might ask that mummy out. [Laughter] That's a good-looking mummy. That mummy looks better than I do on my worst days. I'm telling you. You need to go see her. [Laughter] If there was ever an argument against ageism, it's that mummy. I mean, really. You need to go see her. [Laughter] Let me say - I can't believe - I'll hear about that before it's over, but anyway. [Laughter] It's been a long day.

And from the horse's mouth:

nice link...Clinton also says:

"I had a fascinating conversation a few months ago with the President of China, Jiang Zemin, in which we were having the kind of discussion we often have in public, and you can imagine what it was like.

And I looked at him and I said, "Mr. President, I do not want to contain China. I want to engage China. I want us to have a good partnership. But," I said, "there's only one way that you really present a threat to our security, and I'm sure it's never occurred to you." And he said, "Well, what are you talking about?" I said, "If everybody in China decides to get rich in exactly the same way people in America got rich and you all insist on buying cars that don't get any better mileage than the ones we've got now, we're going to burn up the atmosphere together. That is a threat to our security. We have to find a way for the Chinese to grow their economy and preserve the global environment, not tear it up." And I believe that and I think it's a great opportunity for us. So I'm glad we've done that.'
