WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Sen. Hillary Clinton drew criticism Tuesday for a Martin Luther King Jr. Day speech in which she told a mostly black audience at a Harlem church that Republican leaders have run the House "like a plantation" and the Bush administration will go down as "one of the worst" in U.S. history.
Responding to the speech, House Speaker Dennis Hastert called her remarks "a little bit over the top."
"I've never run a plantation before. I'm not even sure of what kind of association she's trying to make," said the speaker, a Republican from Illinois. "If she's trying to be racist, I think that's unfortunate, but I'm not going to comment any further on that."
One of Clinton's Republican congressional colleagues from New York, Rep. Peter King, said the senator "should be ashamed."

LOL, considering that Blacks are nothing more than "Step-and-Fetch-its" for the DNC. "Step and fetch me that vote boy" is effectively what the rats say to the black population in this country.
Ironic, isn't it, that the first plantation owners with real slaves on them were democrats.
"How dare they.....drag the good name of Iran......thru the dirt"!
National campaign, no way to hand pick every audience; it will make for some good entertainment. I bet it won't even take long to surpass John Edwards' patting a disabled woman on the head.
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.
