Is it really pandering if it works?
AP reports on the atmosphere:
“The audience showed where its allegiance lay when former President Clinton and his wife, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, came to the podium to wild cheers and a long standing ovation. He opened by saying that he was honored to be with the other former presidents. Someone in the crowd yelled out, “Future president!” in reference to his wife’s possible 2008 bid.”
Guess that plantation pandering worked, eh, Hillary?
Oh my, that’s offensive. If I remember, Hillary’s “plantation” reference was followed by “and I think you know what I’m talking about.”
The fact that they apparently did know what she was talking about just eats you up inside, doesn’t it, Malkin?
Shorter Malkin:
If black people aren’t offended by Hillary’s remarks, then they’re wrong, because those remarks were offensive to black people.
Update:More Malkin fun with photos! Under the caption “Having too much fun:” comes this photo:
I hate to break it to you, but Dems aren’t the only ones smiling in that picture. In fact, whoever took that photo needs to work on their framing; they just about cut the First Lady right out of the picture…
Ohhh.
Update 2: Via comments, eb shares another relevant image:
“If black people aren’t offended by Hillary’s remarks, then they’re wrong, because those remarks were offensive to black people.”
prolly cos they’re still trying to get over the irony of republicans saying it years back.

I don’t think the whack-jobs will ever forgive Bush for playing nice and having the Clintons at the Whitehouse a couple of years back. Now that Dubya is trotting out a drift to the left, I wonder if they will blame it on that one visit.

Does this mean these two are having way too much fun?

I’m not surprised that Michelle’s piggybacks on the King funeral to hurl perjoratives. She did it during MLK Day, too. She’s in favor of freedom of speech EXCEPT when liberals are speaking.

Michelle neglects to mention former President Jimmy Carter’s swipe at domestic spying.
