Quote by David Letterman

We inadvertently bombed the Chinese Embassy. But Clinton now is working very hard. He has sent a letter of apology to the Chinese. And, he's also given them a gift certificate for future nuclear secrets.

We inadvertently bombed the Chinese Embassy. But Clinton now

Summary

This quote appears to sarcastically criticize former President Bill Clinton's handling of a situation in which the United States bombed the Chinese Embassy inadvertently. The quote suggests that Clinton's response to the incident was insufficient, making a mock claim that he attempted to make amends by sending a letter of apology and even giving China a "gift certificate" for future nuclear secrets. It seems to highlight the speaker's skepticism towards the effectiveness or sincerity of Clinton's actions.
