SENATOR CLINTON: “But you know, Larry, I’d prefer to talk about the future. It’s time for the party to make a choice, a very clear choice, I think, about the future of the party, the future of the country, and in many ways, the future of the world. It comes down to me and Senator Hussein Osama — “
LARRY KING: “Obama.”
SENATOR CLINTON: “Right. Of course. I’ve spent the past year listening to Americans, and I honestly hope to spend the next four years doing exactly that, but, you know, the other way around.”
LARRY KING: “We’re forgetting about Tom Vilsack of Iowa.”
SENATOR CLINTON: “Oh, I know, Larry. And what a tragedy, really. Such a magnificent leader. The country mourns his loss. My heart goes out to his family.”
LARRY KING: “Wait. I’m lost. He’s dead?”
SENATOR CLINTON: “Yes, Larry. In a terrible freak car accident. You didn’t hear?”
LARRY KING: “No. News to me.”
SENATOR CLINTON: “Wait a sec. What day is it today? Is it Tuesday?”
LARRY KING: “It’s Monday, Senator.”
SENATOR CLINTON: “Oh. Oh. Then never mind.”
LARRY KING: “Coming up! Madeleine Albright and Suzanne Somers!”
