PHILADELPHIA (AP) -- There have been millions of words, decades of video and reams of commentary devoted to the story of Bill and Hillary Clinton. It's been dissected, defended and decried at kitchen tables and on cable news, in tabloids and classrooms.
But on Tuesday night, as millions of voters watched and with the political stakes as high as they've ever been, the former president tried to make sense of it all and make the case for his wife, the newly minted Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton.
"In the spring of 1971, I met a girl," he began.
The former president's tenth address to a Democratic convention was by far his most personal, a 42-minute tour through wedding proposals and Halloween parties, the deaths of parents and movie marathons.
Perhaps their worst moments - the Monica Lewinsky scandal, impeachment and legal battles that followed - were conspicuously omitted though hinted at.
"She'll never quit on you," he said. "She never quit on me."
Instead, Bill Clinton cast himself as a passenger in his wife's life, reshaping the story of much of their decades in politics.
The goal was to make Clinton, perhaps the most famous female politician in the world, yet a public figure her aides claim remains unknown, relatable to voters. He cast her as a liberal heroine of her own story, who fought for education reform, health care, civil rights, the disabled, 9/11 first responders and economically depressed rural areas.
"She's the best darn change-maker I've ever met in my entire life," he said. "This woman has never been satisfied with the status quo on anything. She always wants to move the ball forward. That is just who she is."

That was the life’s review I’d expect out of grandpa on the last days in his death bed.
“In the spring of 1971, I met a girl,” he began.
At that point, everyone froze and said in unison “Oh no”.
Cue the violins.
Would you want an adulterer as your character witness? Not me.
Its just saccharine and fake.
I think this speech was written in the Bizarro world where everything is backwards
“In the spring of 1971, 72, 73, 74, 75-93, 94, 95, 96, I met a girl” ~ Bill Clinton
There, fixed it...
His arrogance has know limits.
And then I met another one. And then another one. And then another one. And then....
And he kept on meeting girls.
Some he raped, others he used a humadors, and he also seems to have given them, at least in Monica’s case, the same first gift as he gave Hillary too.
Yeah, let’s talk about Clinton and his “love” for Hillary.
I wonder if all the would-be sluts who said they would eagerly bed him in the 90s still have fantasies about him? I wonder how they felt if their husbands treated them like he treated Hillary?
Its not even the whole truth about them.
The most arrogant couple ever to disgrace our national stage.
Nothing sticks to them and the Democrats are stuck with them.
Because they decided perjury and obstruction of justice wasn’t good reason enough to get rid of a sitting President.
Here we are today.
I just keep shaking my head about Bill telling us Hillary's the agent of change. Hello, more people are unhappy about the ‘change’ they've seen these past 10 years, since the last two years of Bush II.
LOL!!!!
Nothing says love like a flying ashtray
DUCK!
Where’s the Dancing on the Beach photo when you need it?
Last year's version of his mating call.
Huh?
Isn’t the woman running for Obama’s third term?
Our country faces lots of serious problems and her convention just ignored all of them.
Agent of change, indeed.
Now that’s good ; )
