Hillary Clinton 'truly regrets' Gandhi joke Remarks called stereotypical, racially insensitive

January 7, 2004

ST. LOUIS, Missouri (AP) -- Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton apologized for joking that Mahatma Gandhi used to run a gas station in St. Louis, saying it was "a lame attempt at humor."

The New York Democrat made the remark at a fund-raiser Saturday. During an event here for Senate candidate Nancy Farmer, Clinton introduced a quote from Gandhi by saying, "He ran a gas station down in St. Louis."

Absurd story. Yes Imus was wrong but these girls probably hear worse at most road games. There is no way this should be a national issue that involves all sorts of political figures.

“Will you be willing to speak up and say, ‘Enough is enough,’ when women or minorities or the powerless are marginalized or degraded?”

Uh, Senator, that would include the unborn? I would be correct in making that assumption, Senator?

The only audience this putrid carpetbagger will face is a BUNCH OF KIDS. Something at her level. She does not have the guts to face a strong candidate that would eat her lunch easily -—

Take a hard look America at what the mindless would vote for!!!

"Will you be willing to speak up and say, 'Enough is enough,' 'I'm scarred for life!' when women or minorities or the powerless are marginalized or degraded by some stupid shock jock?" Clinton said in her speech "Will you say 'Enough is enough' when your husband rapes another woman on the campaign trail?"

""Will you be willing to speak up and say, 'Enough is enough,' when women or minorities or the powerless are marginalized or degraded?" Clinton said in her speech to about 700 people at a university forum on women and public leadership."

Yoo Hoo Mrs Clinton!!! Could anyone be more marginalized & degraded than you have been by your husband??

We're waiting to hear what YOU did about that!!

Well, that’s not surprising. After all, Bill “stood up” for Monica.

This should help her with the white vote. NOT! Also, what is a teachable moment? A lecture about how bad African-Aericans have it because of whitey?
