Hillary Clinton and Diane Sawyer step down memory lane

Hillary Clinton and Diane Sawyer took a trip down memory lane Tuesday night at the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation’s 25th-anniversary gala. Sawyer — who was presenting the former secretary of state with the Global Impact Award — recalled her time with Clinton at Wellesley College, when they were “young girls with coke-bottle glasses.” “One of us spent a lot of time having an identity crisis — that was me,” Sawyer told the crowd at the Best Buy Theater. “I went to law school and didn’t graduate, and ended up doing the weather in tight skirts and lamentably pointy bras.” Clinton was quick to set the record straight, saying, “Everything Diane said is inaccurate.” The evening also featured dramatic readings from Glaser’s memoir by Mary Steenburgen and former “ER” stars Julianna Margulies and Gloria Reuben, who we’re told became visibly emotional while reading the excerpt. Other guests in the house included Nigel Barker, Willow Bay and Miss Universe Gabriela Isler.

This evening, at Cipriani on Wall Street in New York, Elton John’s foundation bestowed its Founder’s Award upon our Hillary.  It is so gratifying to see her honored for her hard work.  We know that she did not embark upon any of these initiatives or do this work in order to be rewarded in any way except to help improve people’s lives,  but it is wonderful that she is so recognized for her efforts.

Also this evening, she hosted a fundraiser for friend and Virginia gubernatorial candidate, Terry McAuliffe,

Congratulations, Mme. Secretary!  So well-deserved!
