Would you prefer her to say you paraphrased him incorrectly?

"What you wrote" is called an indirect quote. Your swearing is against the law of God.

Look, Bill, YOU as a citizen interested in politics should be "smart enough" to know that government agencies (and the White House too) always release the text of major speeches right before they are delivered. You may be sure that every journalist who listened to the State of the Union address had a copy of that address right in his hand, and checked Clinton's "actual" address against the text as released. You may also be sure that if Clinton had made any significant departure from the script, those journalists would have said so in their stories on the address. Furthermore, the New York Times transcript of the full speech as read would also have noted deletions, as well as additions. As I recall from reading that transcript, other than Clinton's adlibbed jokes occasioned by his use of the word "liberal" when he meant something else (forgotten what), there were no "changes." I did not save that transcript, and, frankly, I don't feel like paying The New York Times $2.75 to retrieve it from its online archive. I am 99% certain that the text, as I quoted it, was the same as the one that was delivered. Joan
