Highlights include:
Referring to Schumer, she said that they had been working hard “going back to the first Clinton administration.” Scattered applause, murmurs and finally, a big, approving hand. “Thank you!” said Clinton, holding her arms out like a comedian who’s just caught a long-overdue break.
Besides that, Clinton’s short speech included some standards about her colleague’s knack for courting public attention. “What can I say about him that he hasn’t already said?” and “On the seventh day the Lord rested and Chuck had a press conference.”
As she went over possible alternatives to the title of his book, Schumer cackled behind her, removing and replacing his glasses. The biggest laugh came for her last suggestion: “The Republican Political Machine: A Shanda.”
