Even Condi Rice reportedly said, "In the original U.S. Constitution, I was only three-fifths of a person."

I don't doubt that it may have been "reported", but I would have to hear that idiocy straight from Condi's mouth before I believe she, of all people, could be stupid enough to make such an ignorant statement.

Even if she didn't say it, people believe that she did.
