Politicians Say The Darnest Things

As the nation celebrated the birthday and legacy of Dr. Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. both Hillary Clinton and New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin were cited for inappropriate comments:

During a church service, Hillary Clinton said "the House of Representatives is run like a 'plantation'" - comparing the Republican's control of the House to a plantation where slaves (Democrats) are silenced and have no voice. She was clearly trying to work the largely black audience into a frenzy.

New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin spoke during an MLK event as well and he said: "this city will be a chocolate city...predominantly an African American city...just the way God wanted it to be." When asked by a white reporter to clarify his comments he said: "How do you make chocolate? You mix it with 'white milk'".

Things that make you go HMMM?
