Senator Clinton Calls House a " Plantation"

The New York Sun reports:

Martin Luther King Jr. fought four decades ago to free black Americans from the legacy of slavery. Yesterday, Senator Clinton compared the Republican leadership of the current House of Representatives to the very idea the civil rights leader dedicated his life to fighting.

"When you look at the way the House of Representatives has been run - it has been run like a plantation," she said. "You know what I'm talking about."

Could you image a Republican from the South saying something like that without calls for resignation?? For a second there I thought she was talking about the city of Chicago where one party has been in power since the New Deal.
