This is what I like to see...The Truth!


Again, from CNN.com:
Sen. Clinton: House 'has been run like a plantation'
New York senator call Bush Administration 'one of the worst'

NEW YORK (AP) -- Sen. Hillary Clinton on Monday blasted the Bush administration as "one of the worst" in U.S. history and compared the Republican-controlled House of Representatives to a plantation where dissenting voices are squelched.

Speaking during a Martin Luther King Jr. Day event, Clinton also offered an apology to a group of Hurricane Katrina survivors "on behalf of a government that left you behind, that turned its back on you." Her remarks were met with thunderous applause by a mostly black audience at the Canaan Baptist Church of Christ in Harlem.

The House "has been run like a plantation, and you know what I'm talking about," said Clinton, D-New York. "It has been run in a way so that nobody with a contrary view has had a chance to present legislation, to make an argument, to be heard."

"We have a culture of corruption, we have cronyism, we have incompetence," she said. "I predict to you that this administration will go down in history as one of the worst that has ever governed our country."

A spokeswoman for the White House declined to comment and referred questions to the Republican National Committee.

RNC spokeswoman Tracey Schmitt said: "On a day when Americans are focused on the legacy of Martin Luther King, Hillary Clinton is focused on the legacy of Hillary Clinton."

I love the comment by the RNC spokeswoman.  When in trouble, attack, attack, attack!  (I'm imagining a psychotic pomeranian with it's eyes popping out of its head as it snarls and spits.)  In allowing those comments, though, isn't the RNC doing exactly what HRC said?   "Nobody with a contrary view has had a chance...to be heard."   Hmmm.....
To leave you, and to illustrate how f'd up this country still is, I'll close with a quote from the big Bush's VP Dan "The Man" Quayle;
"Unfortunately, the people of Louisiana are not racists."
Happy belated MLK  Jr holiday everyone, and remember that friends don't let friends vote republican.
