True, its not surprising for politicians (heck, people in general) to use "I don't recall" when questioned.
I think the big difference here is that Clinton never made any sort of huge claims about how super-intelligent he was. On the other hand, Stubby McBonespurs deserves some extra derision because his boastful claims about "great memory" and "stable genius" conflict with repeated responses of "I don't recall".
I wonder if the press could have goaded him into saying stupid things by asking, “many Democrats are saying that there are hundreds of people who are better basketball players than you, are the Democrats right or are you one of the best basketball players alive?”
