I’ll give them a break. He obviously confused it with the question about how many people we saw defecating in front of the Taj Mahal.

At least it proves that they don’t use Common Core yet there or the answer would have correct for some reason.

That was the right answer. If he had $15 and earned $6, she would let him keep $2 and she would take $4 so he would be left with $17.

For a moment I thought it was during the exchange of vows when he said that him and her now equalled one.

Hillary’s hard drive has 15G of memory. If she adds 6G more, how long until the server winds up at the bottom of the Hudson River?

15 plus “sex.” Well sex is only between two, so he says 17.

Perfectly understandable mistake. I am sure she had a thick accent. Anyone could misunderstand.

Of course, he should have asked for clarification.

Interviewer: "Mr. Clinton, what does 15 plus 7 equal?"

Bill Clinton: "Legal age."
