    Bill Clinton On Marriage

    At the same Kingstree event, Bill Clinton called on a small girl and was thrown a curved: “What do you do when you get married?”

    Clinton laughed, maybe a little nervously. “See the press people back there?” he said, pointing to the back of the room. “They put me through the ringer this morning.”

    “When you get married, if you’re really lucky, then your husband or wife becomes your best friend,” he said. “And you get to live with your best friend for life. Like, Hillary’s my best friend.” 

    He continued: “The best moment of my life is I was in the hospital with my wife when our daughter was born. ... The best thing about being married is having kids. … Those are the two best things about being married.”

    Bullet ... dodged.
