Down on Hillary's Plantation

Show me anyone with the slightest interest in politics who is giving Hillary a free pass on her MLK Day statement describing Congress as being "run like a plantation," and I'll show you someone who would Go Tell it on the Mountain about a Republican's "bigotry" if that same comment were made by a Republican about a Democrat-held institution.

This isn't Hillary's first "plantation" reference, either. Oh no... In November '04, Hillary charged that "they're running the House of Representatives like a fiefdom with Tom DeLay as, you know,
in charge of the plantation."

Hillary seems to know all about the plantation - and apparently, so do those who are giving her a free pass.

I guess it's all good so long as Hill's the whitey playing the race cards.

Fo shizzle, yo.
