Hill's foot in mouth disease

DeWayne Wickham once tried to explain blacks' fondness for Bill Clinton in part by saying, "Black folk have a built-in radar for B.S." That's hard to believe, given that no one's called for an apology yet from Hillary for having invoked and diluted the horrors of slavery for the sake of winning over a black audience (the great black DNC hope Barack Obama defended it), but it remains to be seen whether Hill will suffer much from her ugliness (the rhetorical ugliness, I mean). What's clear is that Hill isn't Bill with the black crowd, and even if Bill was America's "first black president," Hill most certainly won't be the second. Her attempt Monday reminded me of Chevy Chase in the movie Vacation, asking for directions in downtown St. Louis:

Clark: Excuse me, could you please tell me how to get back on the express way?
Pimp: F%$k yo mama!
Clark: Thank you very much.

Also clear this isn't 1992, and the blogosphere is holding Clinton and her MLK Day cohorts to account. (In 1996, the plantation comment would've been unconfirmed, at best unless Rush Limbaugh got his hands on it. I don't imagine 60 Minutes would've fretted about any "double standard.") Ace of Spades offers the Top 10 ways Congress actually is like a plantation. More here on the Dems' "Day of Demagoguery."

All things considered, Republicans should savor the PR aspects of Hillary's misstep. It confirmed not only that Hillary isn't half the politician Bill was, and confirmed that she's prone to missteps, but it underscores why the nonsense on which she relies will no longer see a free pass.
