Here are a few self-idolizing gems.

It is kind of hard for me to get used to a president younger than I am ...

Thank you Dean Gallucci for helping me to come here and for the great work you did in our administration when I was president.

people here who are my classmates, friends, who served as ambassadors and in other positions in my administration

(The Great Carnac at work here) All of them are sitting there thinking that ...

I was commander-in-chief of the people who show up and work everyday at the Pentagon.

Major gag alert here: The people who died represent, in my view, not only the best of America, but the best of the world that I worked hard for eight years to build.

Major whopper alert: I will just give you one example from my childhood. In the Civil War, General Sherman waged a brilliant military campaign to cut through the South and go to Atlanta. It was significant and very helpful in bringing the Civil War to a close in a way to, thank God, save the Union. On the way, General Sherman practiced a relatively mild form of terrorism-he did not kill civilians, but he burned all the farms and then he burned Atlanta, trying to break the spirit of the Confederates. It had nothing whatever to do with winning the Civil War, but it was a story that was told for a hundred years later, and prevented America from coming together as we might otherwise have done. -- Two for one here: he says he grew up during the Civil War and then goes a step beyond any border of logic and says that Sherman's March to the Sea, which was intended to break the spirit of the Confederates, had NOTHING to do with winning the war.

.

Continuing in the same analysis:

Here bill is just speakin' out of his li'l ol' pea pickin' heart: We need to strengthen our capacity to chase the money and get it ...

Wave 'Em On In Bill says: we should be able to find people who come here and stay around a long time before they organize a big hit.

The Florida Everglades I worked so hard to save.

Here's how the information age and "global interdependence" caused the terrorists to attack and kill thousands of Americans: I honestly believe it's very important if you want to understand the world in which you live that you see September the 11th as the dark side from all the benefits we've gotten from tearing down the walls, collapsing the distances and spreading the information that we have across the world.

I'm stopping for now on the "sliced bread" paragraph - had enough of old billy's diatribe for a while.

What is Clinton talking about? He was born August 19, 1946. President Bush was born July 6, 1946.

Is this just another example of Clinton's compulsive lying? Or did he stay in a Holiday Inn Express the night before, and since that couldn't make him feel any smarter (being so brilliant already) it made him feel older?

This must be why nobody in Arkansas can remember the fictitious black church burnings Blubba once talked about. It's because they took place during his childhood, which was 140 years ago.
