Spin Cycle

Hillary Clinton caused a global sensation early this year by suggesting that the GOP ran the House like a "plantation." Never mind that she’d previously said similar things, or that African-American legislators responded with a collective "Yeah, tell us something we didn’t know."
So, why no backlash over Bill Clinton’s more overtly racial statements in Arizona this week?
Speaking at a $500,000 fundraiser for millionaire Senate hopeful Jim Pederson on Thursday, the ex-POTUS declared that the Republican Party is dominated by "right-wing, white Southerners," according to the Business Journal of Phoenix.
(Calls to two indisputably white, undeniably right-wing senators weren’t returned.)
Clinton also claimed that the GOP is being run for profit by "crony capitalists," though it should be noted that few of Bill’s current cronies (take supermarket mogul and Page Six favorite Ron Burkle) are what you’d call Communists.
