HILLARY'S GAS GAFFE NOXIOUS

Almost total silence.

Clinton began her spiel by introducing a quote from legendary Indian peace activist Mahatma Gandhi.

"He ran a gas station down in St. Louis."

It took two days before Hillary apologized. Sort of. And that, only after the head of the Gandhi Institute of Nonviolence, an organization founded by Gandhi's grandson, blasted her words as an ethnic "stereotype" that "could be incredibly harmful."

Spot-on.

Actually Ghandi was a pedophile with an obsession with bodily wastes, but that's another story.

Hey, what's an enema between two consenting individuals even if one of them was only twelve....

Thank you for your service.

Who digs up this kind of dirt anyhow.

Ghandhi's odd sexuality is well documented. He enjoyed the company of pubescent and pre-pubescent girls in his bed. He claimed they kept him warm. Some of them gave him enemas.

Now since Ghandhi is such an icon for passive resistance the goofy stuff like this is not mentioned.

Grooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooss. I guess we'll learn next that Gautama Buddha had a thing for the Hindu equivalent of choirboys.

But should be! :-)

Did you see Hannity tonight? Linda Chavez was on and she alluded to Mahatma Gandhi's moral problems and character issues, much to the astonishment of tonight's substitute liberal.

Except, of course, here on FR. :=)

Not only was her joke in very poor taste, not only was the joke just plain dumb, Mrs. Clinton's delivery of her joke was exceptionally bad - completely flat tone and no facial expressions. To top it off, Mrs. Clinton's acknowledgment of her snafu was atrocious.

I would say she performed as expected.

Hey, I'm probably the last person on earth to talk about how such an enlightened person as Ghandhi was actually a perv.... ;^)

No kidding! I didn't catch it, but that's interesting. Did the host swallow his tongue...?
