HILLARY CLINTON has apologised after citing the June 1968 assassination of Robert F. Kennedy in defending her decision to keep running for the Democratic nomination.
In reply to a press question she said Mr Kennedy had been actively campaigning into June at the time of his death and that she had no intention of quitting.

Being able to speak freely and extemporaneously will become a memory in our past.
Every sentence is scrutinized, surgically altered and put through the spin cycle. Too quickly and easily a remark morphs to a new meaning that was never intended....

In the future, how will the truth ever fight it's way through the muck of spin and lies?
There will always be a reporter or writer willing to sell his soul and discard the true meaning of events, words and philosophies.

The ease in which Hillary spoke on the subject of "Assignation of Robert Kennedy" yesterday was alarming. She speaks of assassination as if it is a natural course of political life.

Let's hope that all of those previous assignations will be seriously investigated now.


I do not believe for one minute that her remark was a Freudian slip...she meant every word of it...as a message to Barrack; which is DO NOT FOR GET ABOUT MY PAST...!!!

She was making references to the many times the primary process has gone into June, and continued to the convention. That's American politics the old fashioned way before the Tim Russerts and the media decided to say when the process should end.

I'll ignore your obvious bias, being from Kentucky, perhaps you don't realize that as the New York Senator, Hillary represents the same district that Bobby Kennedy did. She worked hard to win the Senate election, and then worked hard to earn the respect of her constituents and was easily voted in for the second term.
Living up to the Bobby Kennedy legacy can't be easy, and I'm sure she thinks of it often, especially now that Ted is ill.
