Sorry, I can't imagine Mrs. Bush assailing anyone.

"It think it's ridiculous — it's a ridiculous comment," Mrs. Bush told reporters when asked about the remark during a return flight to Washington following her four-day swing through West Africa. Clinton made the comment in Harlem at an event honoring the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. She said the GOP was running the House "like a plantation"

Mrs. Bush is absolutely right. Hillary Clinton deliberately used racially charged language trying to amplify and exploit divisions for her own political gain. Clinton should be ashamed.

The crowd applauded with Mrs. Bush talked about attending Monday's inauguration of Liberia's president Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, the first woman president elected in Africa. She said Sirleaf is an example for women all over the world of what can be accomplished through hard work and a strong belief in education and democracy.

Quite a different message from the one heard in Harlem on that day.
What a great lady.

Clinton made the comment in Harlem at an event honoring the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. She said the GOP was running the House "like a plantation" because ideas from the minority Democrats were not respected. The White House on Tuesday called the senator's comments "way out of line."

Clinton is an idiot. She should have said that when she was in power, her husband was running the "Whitehouse" like a whorehouse because the rights of the interns were not respected.

Trying to capitalize on MLK day with racially contexted words to make an utter ridiculous and unfounded political point is unbelieveable. How about when her husband was getting a BJ while making political calls to psychophant cronies? Is there anyone home in that head of hers or is she on left-wing extremism auto-pilot?

When ABC reporterette Ann Compton was speaking to our local radio afiliate newscasters about the "plantation" comment, she mentioned "Of course, there are Texans in Congress, too."

Wha---?

There are congressmen from every state, as we all know. Then, I guess she realized she hadn't made any point whatsoever, so she underscored it with, "That would include Tom DeLay."

So out of the blue, the ABC commentator brought up Tom DeLay. I'm surprised she didn't mention Halliburton.

"Nagin also said the hurricane that devastated New Orleans was God's way of showing displeasure about U.S. involvement in Iraq. "Surely God is mad at America," Nagin said in a speech Monday. "Surely He's not approving of us being in Iraq under false pretense. But surely He's upset at black America also. We're not taking care of ourselves."

Oh, nogin head ... if I was god, I'd be pissed at YOUR decadence and evil lifestyle for "entertainment". You run a cess pool down there. The only think Katrina did for you was highlight how filthy your lifestyle choices are through the form of filthy, bacteria invested water. I view that as symbolism in and of itself.

Ridiculous! Well said and nuff said.

"Nagin had said: "This city will be chocolate at the end of the day." He later apologized."

lol... I guess it finally occurred to him how racist that remark was. Can you imagine the outrage from the black community if a white politician said he wanted the city to be white?

Mrs. Bush ASSAILS?

assail : to attack violently with blows or words

I hardly doubt Mrs. Bush assailed anyone.

[jjmcgo]

She should have called for Hillary's resignation, as should every Republican and every other decent person in America. Even some Democrats could join in, proving that at least individually there might be some good people in that party.
Then Fox and other fair news outlets could say daily, Hillary refuses to resign in the wake of her racist statement.

[popdonnelly]

AP's bias is just too funny.

[maggief]

"He wants people who lived in New Orleans to come back," Mrs. Bush said. "I do to, ...

Helloooo, AP ... that should read "too."

May God bless Mrs. George W. Bush. May she stomp on her husbands enemies with politeness. May she shame the slanderers and those bearing false witness with kindness. May all her ways be filled with Grace from above.

"We are all hopeful that one day an entire generation will be born free of HIV," Mrs. Bush said

Not going to happen unless they find a cure for AIDS/HIV. Other than that, people's behaviors aren't going to change.

[Liberty Valance]

"It think it's ridiculous — it's a ridiculous comment," Mrs. Bush told reporters when asked about the remark.

That's not assailing...thats an opinion.
"Hillary is a b@tch!"....
now that would be assailing. ;o)
