Bill Clinton Recalls 'Bunch of Boring White Guys'

Former President Clinton weighed in on the nation's immigration debate Monday and took a lighthearted jab at Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist while addressing Princeton University seniors.

Clinton was the headliner at Class Day, held ahead of Tuesday's commencement at the Ivy League School.

The former president said the world is increasingly interconnected, with greater opportunity for more people with worldwide trade, widespread travel and increased diversity.

"Think about how much more interesting you are than the Princeton Class of 1906," he said. "A bunch of boring white guys like me."

Clinton praised President Bush for trying to find common ground with a proposed immigration policy that would tighten border enforcement while allowing some undocumented residents to become citizens.

"I sort of favor what the president tried to do because we were trying to get the best of both worlds," he said. "There is no perfect solution."

Clinton was introduced by Lauren Bush, a niece of the current president and a member of the committee that invited the 42nd president to speak.

"Clinton's name immediately came up," she said. "But then, we thought Hillary would probably be too busy."

Clinton responded with a reference to Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, whose son Harrison also is in Princeton's graduating class.

"I thought Hillary was too busy to be here, too," Clinton said. "She told me she had to go to the Senate. And then I see Sen. Frist here, putting parenthood ahead of the public trust."

"A bunch of boring white guys like me."

Anyone who thinks Clinton has a low opinion of himself must be an intern. A seemingly self-deprecating remark, that he uses to tell the audience he is above them all.

I wish this guy would shut up once in for all. He thinks he has all the answers. Even in the work he is doing in Africa, his foundation has shut down viable alternatives on Aids treatments.

Agree. He was trying to include himself in a class at Princeton that was, more than likely, privileged and on a higher social plane than Clinton will ever be. Does anybody think that Bill Clinton, Class of '65, would have been accepted at Princeton right out of High School? He tries to elevate himself but comes across as nothing but a narcissist.

"crooked penis"?
Hey,were you in his high school gym class or something?

Reminds me of that old joke that group showers in high school PE refuted the old cliche that"all men are created equal"

Question then.

If the Princeton class of 2006 is more "interesting" than the Princeton Class of 1906, which class was the more qualified, and which learned more in their 4 years at Princeton?

Who is he when he is not pandering to some one or to some group??? in this case, young people. That is his favorite audience because their experience is so limited and he sounds and looks good to them. He can 'act' cool and they buy it. They need bring nothing to their meeting with him... just sit there like sponges and soak up the drivel.

I just remember him attributing 911 to the sack of Jerusalem by 11th century Crusaders and how we are all guilty of that crime.

When he was in office he never missed a chance to apologize for the United States having committed some horrendous crime in our history.

I think we should post this every time Bill and Hill are mentioned in the same sentence.

Thanks, I was trying to come up with something similar, but I'll just go along with you.

Comments like clintoon's do get a bit wearing, especially when everyone else is falling all over themselves trying to get into white majority countries.
