Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton did something Wednesday night that she almost never does. She apologized.

What BS we are being spoonfed. In February during question-and-answer session after her speech at the State of the Black Union event, Mrs. Clinton was asked by Tavis Smiley, the host of the event, how she felt about “what some termed racial comments” by Mr. Clinton.

“I think there are enough of you here today who know him personally and know his heart,” she said, then stopped for a long pause. “If anyone was offended about anything that was said, whether it was meant or not, whether it was misinterpreted or not, then obviously I regret that.”

Guess the author mean to say she did something she's been doing since her loss in SC.

The Clintons long have enjoyed overwhelming support from black voters, but that has been eclipsed during the primaries and caucuses by enthusiasm and support for Obama, who has pulled huge margins among black voters. Arguments over the role of race and gender have flared up repeatedly throughout the contest between Obama, who would be the nation's first black president, and Clinton, who would be its first female one.

How can that be?

I thought that Mr. Clinton was the first black president back in the '90's?

and she has resigned from being a member of my very large finance committee."

This is classic Clinton. You see, her finance committee is very large, and she can't be responsible for all those folks. I really hardly know them, because there are so many, you see.

This pathological.

Trapped in the PC pit of death they helped dig themselves. Bill's Sister Solga (sp?) moment was well calculated and effective in getting the bubba vote where he needed it. Obama is not Sister Solga and because he is "clean" as Joe Biden said, he shall not be questioned.

This is such great fun to watch the PC BS come back and bite the Clintons who have based their entire careers on on racial and ethnic pandering. They are being totally devoured by it and are clueless on how to fight back!

They seem to not understand why those Darkies just won't stay on the Ol' Clinton Plantation.

What's that German word again?

Or maybe before this is all over, Black Americans will finally realize that the Democrats have been playing them for total damn fools for the last 50 years and getting away with it.

Wow. Seems to be a direct response to Olbermann’s 10-minute diatribe tonight.

"Anyone who has followed my husband's public life or my public life know very well where we have stood and what we have stood for and who we have stood with,"

Yep! Bubba praised and worshiped at the alter of J. William Fulbright, who filibustered the Civil Rights Act of 1957 and the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as well as voting against the 1965 Voting Rights Act.

You know I am sorry if anyone was offended.

That's not an apology

The Katrina comment neglected to include an apology for the abyssmal performances of the incompetent black mayor Ray Nagin and the weak female governor Kathleen Blanco.

Get down on your hands and knees and grovel and pander, but then blame the big bad Bush for everything. This woman has issues.

Bill's Sister Solga (sp?) moment

Sister Souljah

What's that German word again?

I believe the word you might be looking for is "schadenfreude."

:-)

“Can she be any more condescending?”

She is just being herself. That condescending garbage is exactly who she is.

"We can be proud of both Jesse Jackson and Senator Obama." Can she be any more condescending?????

She reminds me of the old racist Southern Democrats saying "We love our n-----s."

I wonder if she'll dare to go back into a black church and replay that shtick about "Ah ain' no ways taarred. Ah done come too faahr."

come on. this whole good cop bad cop routine is the strategy for Pennsylvania. Gerry gets the subliminal race message out and Hillary gets to apologize. This is how she will say the things that she doesn’t want to say herself

Me too! I apologize too! Also I thouroughly denounce it! It is regrettable and we are saddened. I am hereby resigning. These veering personal attacts should not veer into the personal. I’m sorry if in any way I was offended. I withdraw any remarks that have been misunderstood as racist imputations, and all sexist and uncharitable ejaculations are taken out of context of my explanations of the greater good. I seceed from my constituents, my family, my campaign and my vacation club membership. We will carry on. I am so very, very sorry.
