CNN reports on a speech by New York's junior senator:

Appearing before a religious conference earlier this week, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-New York) told the audience that as a child attending Sunday school she would baby-sit the children of migrant workers so that their older siblings could join their parents at work. "I was fortunate that at an early age, through my church, I was given the opportunity to expand my horizons," Clinton told the 600 adults and teenagers attending the Sojourners "Covenant for a New America" conference.

Mrs. Clinton grew up in Park Ridge, Ill., a tony Chicago suburb that as of 2000, according to census data, was 95.4% white, had a median family income of $87,795, and had a grand total of 174 families (1.7%) below the poverty level. How many migrant workers could there have been for her to baby-sit for?

Sometimes I wonder if people in politics become delusional after awhile or if they just believe nobody will check the facts?

... all it would take is one family?

Gawd, where do you get this stuff, and why do you never follow it to the logical conclusion?

Logic? It knows not the meaning of this word.

If Hillary really said that (which I believe she did) then she is either a liar or totally delusional.

based on what? like i said, all it would take would be ONE family. Prove she didn't.

oh come on Grimm, she is shameless. She makes it sound as if she's sitting in a dusty squatters camp singing kumbiyah with dirty faced street urchins.

She is such a phoney.
