(CNN) - It's not every day you hear an ex-president discuss his memories of a hooker...But that's what Bill Clinton did Wednesday at a press conference in New York during which he praised the redevelopment that city's famed Times Square has undergone in the last two decades..."When I was 18 years-old in November of 1964, a freshman at Georgetown, I first went to Times Square. I bought a steak at Tad's Steakhouse. I heard a guy ream his mother out, poor working woman, because she'd given him a hi-fi instead of a stereo speaker. I remember everything about it. I saw a hooker approach a man in a gray flannel suit. Pretty heavy stuff for a guy from Arkansas," Clinton said.
Classic Clinton...and dollars to doughnuts he was definitely the guy in the grey flannel suit. No need to hide it anymore, you're a beloved ex-President. We know you're one of the great 20th century philanderer's and we're ok with it. In fact we love it. You're a normal guy, you've got issues and so does everyone else.
I like to think that trip to NY shaped him into the world leader he would become. A champion for the working girl, giving women a chance for their dreams one paid for or bartered sexual encounter and stained dress at a time.
