CNN Perplexed by Clinton’s ‘Numbingly Stunning’ Gaffe on Six-Figure Speeches

KING: "One of the things they're attacking her about is the Clinton Foundation and the big speaking fees her husband the former president takes, and then the big foreign donations, including some that didn't seem to fit with the rules she agreed to when she became the secretary of state. I want you to listen to Bill Clinton yesterday. He's talking to Cynthia McFadden of NBC News. He's on a trip to Africa for the Clinton Foundation. He's asked here about his speaking fees including, remember one of the big controversial ones is a $500,000 speaking fee from a Moscow bank. At the very time that bank was part of a deal to get uranium deal for the Russian government."

McFADDEN: "Will you continue to give speeches?"
CLINTON: "Oh, yeah. I gotta pay our bills. I also give a lot over to the foundation every year."
KING: "This one here we give Bill Clinton a lot of credit for his political skills. 'I gotta pay our bills?' The Arkansas governor didn't make a lot of money. As president he had a pretty good salary. I understand they weren't rich when they left the White House, but 'I got to pay our bills?'"
NN FEMALE: "I wonder when Bill was going to take a backseat to all of this? Wasn't really good at giving interviews. Wasn't that just a couple of weeks ago? Any time the Clintons are talking about personal wealth, it's going to be a problem. Right now especially when you're saying things like, we have to pay the bills. I don't think that's on the top things they're worrying about. I don't think that's going to make a comeback --"
KING: "He's not known for being so tone deaf although I covered him for a long time and every now and again when he gets tired he says some numbingly stunning things."
NN MALE: "Well, you know, tired, but also this is something very personal to them. They've been on the defensive for a really long time. You're seeing the flashes of temper that typically get Bill Clinton in trouble."
