Mahatma Gandhi - The Man, The Myth, The Gas Station Attendant by Hillary Clinton 1/7/2004 - Marni Malarkey

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Senator Hillary Clinton has apologized if a comment she is reported to have made at an event on Saturday offended anyone, but has said she was "misquoted by the vast rightwing conspiracy in the press."

The New York Democrat made the remark at a fund-raiser in St Louis, during which she allegedly introduced a quote from Mahatma Gandhi by saying: "You all know Gandhi. He ran a gas station down in St Louis." Americans of South Asian descent have protested Senator Clinton's words, saying they play into unfair racial stereotypes, in particular the notion that certain immigrants necessarily always run petrol stations.

But Senator Clinton, speaking this morning on Good Morning America, said that while she was upset if the reports about her comments hurt anyone, she in fact was "slandered and misquoted by the same vast rightwing conspiracy that tried to run my husband out of office. You know my husband, don't you? That man who is so devoted to me, and to whom I am so devoted? Him. It's those same media rightwing sleazeballs that rule the airwaves that made this up. I never said Gandhi ran a gas station.What I said was, 'you all know Gandhi. He ran a convenience store down in St. Louis.' Because let's face it. Those people pretty much run all the corner stores in the damn country. And I'm not saying that's a bad thing. I mean, if it weren't for them, where else would you get a Malted or a Slurpy or even some porn at 3 in the morning? Nowhere."
