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."

I just caught some video of that, words really dont do it justice. It was like she was acting and not doing a very good job with the role.She always does that when she's giving a speech. She has one of the WORST delivery styles I have ever seen, and that flat accent grates on my ears.

that is the whole goal of "moderate" a third party candidate, to siphon off votes in order to elect a socialist.
i guarantee the crintons had something to do with getting perot to run, blackmail or paying him off financially.
they will try it again, and i think mclame is enough of an egomaniac to do it (after he gets rejected in the repub primaries)

Thanks, I will-how can anyone take this evil woman seriously? Other than that there are enough other evil/stupid people that she is a Senator. I can't stand her,I can't believe she might run for President. I can't believe there are a few idiots who would vote for her.Code Pinko types,I guess.

And when so many people vote according to how they "feel" about something or someone(the way we ended up stuck with Clinton TWICE),instead of trying to determine facts and consequences to the best of their ability.

When a lady we know starts to speak
my head pounds and I want to shriek.
She spreads lies and dismay
day after day.
It is silence from Hillary I seek.

Hopefully this will dissuade her from running in 08.
