Bill Clinton's ambulance

Former President Bill Clinton was campaigning in Indiana yesterday when he decided to tell the crowd the story of where he was and what he did the night Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated.

"I remember so well watching Bobby Kennedy here the night Martin Luther King was killed," President Clinton said. "Then, I was in Washington at Georgetown, the city exploded into flames and I turned my car into an ambulance and I took supplies to the African Americans that were burned out of their homes and were hiding in church basements basically trying to stay alive, and surrounded by national guardsmen protecting them."

He turned his car into an ambulance.

He ran supplies through National Guard lines to African Americans hiding in church basements.

Have we ever heard him tell this story before?

You'd think he would have mentioned it once or twice by now.

Maybe he just remembered it.

Maybe the next time he tells the story he'll remember the part about the sniper fire.

But he should probably leave out the part about Sinbad being in the church basement. Too easy to check.
