Hellary has used that "plantation" remark before and just like the typical dimwit lib she likes to say, "you know" a lot.. hard to believe a Senator, let alone a Presidential candidate speaks like this.. and this is only a partial transcript!

This a an interview in 2004 with Soledad O'Brien.

O'BRIEN: Another thing we were talking about in the news today, of course, is the House Republicans changing the rules to essentially inoculate Tom DeLay if, indeed, he is indicted.

No, don't laugh before I finish my question here. What do you make of that this morning? We're hearing lots from -- from Capitol Hill about this.

CLINTON: Well, I mean, what can I say? It's just so typical. I mean they're running the House of Representatives like a fiefdom with Tom DeLay as, you know, in charge of the plantation.

I think it's kind of a sad commentary. I don't think it's good for democracy. I don't think it's good for the Republican Party.

But again, I don't have a vote in the Republican Caucus in the House. They'll decide what they want to do.

But one would hope that they would not be so quick to change the rules when it affects their leader. They certainly wanted to apply the harshest of rules to Democratic leaders for so many years. I think we need to call a truce to all of this back and forth, and you know, let's have rules that apply to everybody. It's like the idea that some want to change the filibuster, which has been a time-honored tradition in the Senate.

You know, absolute power corrupts absolutely. And I think that we have an administration and Republican leadership that, you know, is very powerful. And power should be handled carefully in a democracy.

So, again, I don't have a vote in any of this, but I hope that, you know, more thoughtful minds prevail over what should be done going forward.

I'm glad you notice her use of "you know". I wish someone would say to her "no, I don't know."

Mrs. Clinton gets by with saying nothing, and never having to answer anything. I saw her blissfully yammering with Tim Russert on Meet the Press. She never was challenged by Russert to explaino exactly what she means by "you know", because frankly, I don't think she knows either.

Hillary talks like a valley girl. Like - TOTALLY.

What a frickin loser!

Yes Hillary, you're a Loser. The Democrats are Losers. You don't have the majority. So - the majority gets things done. And the majority of the House represents the majority of the People back home.

So really - it's just the OPPOSITE of a plantation - where the FEW told the MANY what to do.
