New York Sen. Hillary Clinton opened up both barrels on supporters of President Bush Monday night, saying she's "sick and tired" of the way the patriotism of Bush's critics has been questioned.
"I am sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and you disagree with this administration somehow you're not patriotic," a shrill-sounding Clinton shouted during her address to Connecticut's Jefferson Jackson Bailey dinner.
"We should stand up and say, we are Americans and we have a right to debate and disagree with any administration," she shrieked.
The non-presidential candidate, who's miles ahead of every other Democratic presidential hopeful in every poll that includes her name, zeroed in on the economy, saying that Bush had given the nation the worst economic policies since the Great Depression.
"In just two years, the country again faces hefty budget deficits," she said. "We are, unfortunately, reaping the bad consequences of a wrong economic policy. They have the most wrong-headed economic policies that we've seen since Herbert Hoover."
In an attempt to explain why the country wasn't saddled with the bread lines and street-corner apple salesman of the Hoover-era, Clinton said, "People know better than what they hear and what they see."
