Clinton Teases Bloomberg About Presidential Ambitions
(NEW YORK) After grinding through 18 months on the presidential campaign trail, Hillary Clinton was ready to let off some steam at a party in New York City tonight. Mayor Michael Bloomberg threw the “welcome back” celebration for the woman who is now readjusting to life as the junior senator from New York.
Chevy Chase may have been the professional comedian in attendance, but it was one of Sen. Clinton’s jokes about Mayor Bloomberg—which had a particularly long setup—that had the crowd laughing the hardest.
“I was very touched by Mike’s concern for me over these last months, every since the campaign ended, and you know I was really moved that he wanted to talk about the campaign,” Clinton deadpanned. “What happened, how it happened, how you did it, what was the reaction that you got, what was effective and what wasn’t effective, you know, what worked in advertising and in direct mail, and I mean he was so interested in me that I was just transformed.”
