[PW] "The haves and the have more"

[Kee Malesky]

According to CBS News:

Oct 20, 2000

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2000/10/18/politics/main242210.shtml 

 

... Each candidate had a heavy schedule in New York, the highlight being
Thursday night, when they both joined New York City's political elite at
the Alfred E. Smith memorial dinner, a fundraiser for Catholic charities
hosted by the Archbishop. Also on hand were New York's candidates in the
Senate race: Hillary Clinton and Rick Lazio. The Al Smith dinner, hosted
by Archbishop Edward Egan, is a traditional forum for presidential
candidates, although in past years, the abortion issue has kept some
candidates away. 

 

The event is named for the former New York governor who was the first
Roman Catholic ever to be nominated for president. The presidential
candidates came well-armed with jokes, often poking fun at themselves. 

 

Bush gazed around the diamond-studded $800-a-plate crowd and commented
on the wealth on display.  "This is an impressive crowd - the haves and
the have-mores," quipped the GOP standard-bearer. "Some people call you
the elites; I call you my base."

"The haves and the have more" is attributed to President Bush. If true, 

when and where did he say this? I can't find it online.
