hillary: i have a meme

nothing gets bigots in an uproar like calling them on it.

a day after sen. hillary rodham clinton compared the repubbb-led house to a "plantation" (and slammed awol's administration to boot), the gop has the vapors. asspress:

clinton said on monday had said bush’s administration was “one of the worst” in u.s. history and said the house “has been run like a plantation, and you know what i’m talking about”…

speaking during a martin luther king jr. day event, clinton 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.

“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.”

the white house and top repubbbs feigned righteous indignation, but americablog and atrios kindly point out the times and the right-winged individuals that used the same comparison in the past. and think progress reminds us when newt "screwing his staff member while impeaching bill clinton for sex" gingrich used the same comparison.

be sure to freep msnbc's poll: was clinton's "plantation" remark out of line?

also, here's newsday's poll to freep.
