Hill’s King Day Shocker

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton dropped a Martin Luther King Day stunner yesterday - comparing GOP rule of the House of Representatives to a “plantation.”

Standing alongside the Rev. Al Sharpton, Clinton told a mostly black crowd that “when you look at the way the House of Representatives has been run, it has been run like a plantation - and you know what I am talking about.”

The startling comment got muted response from those at the Canaan Baptist Church of Christ on W. 116th St., but Republican leaders seized on her remarks as inflammatory and insensitive.

“It is always wrong to play the race card for political gain by using a loaded word like plantation,” said Rep. Pete King (R-L.I.). “It is particularly wrong to do so on Martin Luther King Day.”

“I am a little shocked that a United States senator would use such unfortunate stereotyping to characterize an entire political party,” added Rep. Vito Fossella (R-S.I.). “In this case, I think she owes an apology.”

Clinton’s plantation remark was part of a fiery partisan speech in which she predicted that the Bush White House “will go down in history as one of the worst” and chided GOP leaders for squelching debate.
