Now Playing: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit

Ex-president Bill Clinton defended his wife Hillary on Friday for claiming last month that the GOP-led Congress was being run like a "plantation," adding that he thought House Democrats were being treated like "sharecroppers."
Asked if he agreed with Mrs. Clinton's comment, the ex-president told WCBS Radio's Peter Maer: "Oh, absolutely I do. And it had no racial overtones."
"It was more about the arbitrary and complete exercise of power and control," he contended."
Clinton cited an unnamed farmer-turned-congressman from East Arkansas who told him he agreed with Hillary as well. "I wouldn't say we were slaves," Clinton quoted the congressman as saying. "We're more like sharecroppers."
The ex-president then added, "Another member of the United States Congress who worked on a plantation as a boy came up and thanked my wife for saying that."
After offering racially tinged anecdotes, Mr. Clinton again insisted that Hillary "absolutely meant nothing racial by it."
"I defend her, I think she did the right thing," he said. "And I think that's why the Black Caucus defended her."
Nah. To be a sharecropper, one needs first to have crops to share, right? As far as their productivity regarding the crops is concerned, they are not sharecroppers but more properly agricultural pests, and should be treated to spraying.
I think Bill comes from a long line of sharecroppers. And Bill hit his head when he fell of the turnip truck. Now all he can focus on is oral sex.
Washington never reached its current level of divisiveness until The Clintons came to town.
I was wondering about that plantation worker myself. Also, what plantation would that be?
Clinton is such an individual, and he is extremely skilled at it. Plantation worker indeed...
We apparently have a member of the family who doesn't even know she's lying, apparently from an underlying jealousy.
Not to mention that oral sex is not sex.. despite its last name being sex. And "I never had sex with that woman.. at least until the DNA tests came back.. I didn't."
Clinton cited an unnamed farmer-turned-congressman from East Arkansas who told him he agreed with Hillary as well. "I wouldn't say we were slaves," Clinton quoted the congressman as saying. "We're more like sharecroppers."Bill, just tell 'em to put some ice on it...and you know what I'm talkin' about.
BTTT!
Now, now, Slick Willie.
No one ever accused you of being a sharecropper. White trash, yes. Trailer trash, yes. But NEVER a sharecropper!!
Just admit that your wife of convenience is a race baiting bitch, and I'll forgive you for trying to defend her........NOT!!
It's worse than that. The Republicans are treating the Democrats like interns! Right, Bill?
Why don't you share his name with us you lying sack of sh*t. Why he must be 145 or mebbe 150 years old.
And this unidentifed man undoubtedly attended one of the black churches that Clinton remembers were being burned when he was a child ...oh, except there is no record of any churches being burned!
The Democrats lost the House in 2000 and Democrats selected Pelosi over Harold Ford Jr (There is a God).
Pelosi selected Matusi to be DCCC head over William Jefferson. Jefferson said he wanted the job and Matsui said he did not.
Hillary Clinton waited to the last second, Mischief Night, to raise money for Carl McCall at her Whitehaven Manse. Not enough time to for the money to have an impact. The very next day she goes to Plattsburg to open a factory and says so many nice things about McCall's' opponent, Governor Pataki that Pataki asks from the podium, "You not going to get in trouble for saying that are you?" Finally, McAuliffe pulled McCalls money and sent it to the Florida race.
And Charlie Rangel can choke on calling Bush "Our Bull Connor". Bull Connor was a Democrat, a member of it's ruling body the Democrat National Committee and proudly died a Democrat. Whatever you thnk of his actions in the 60s, what he did to black people in 1948 was far worse. When the Democrats proposed a civil rights plank for their platform, Connor led a walkout of Mississippi and Alabama Democrats. That's a good 15 years or so earlier that the firehoses and the dogs and far more damaging because it kept people down that much longer.
Democrats abuse black people.
Hillary is responsible for windfall Viagra profits....
