| The real Hillary is finally emerging |

Following Hillary's "plantation" remarks, she seems to be moving further away from her moderate incarnation and closer to her liberal base...
Americans are growing 'impatient" as they wait for a woman to be elected president, 2008 presidential candidate Hillary Clinton said Saturday night.
"People are saying,' Well, at least we're ready,'" Clinton told interviewer Jane Pauley, as the two held a public chat for charity in San Francisco.
"There's a feeling that it's time," she added.
Then, in quotes picked up the New York Sun, the former first lady said she detected "a certain impatience" to see a female president following the election of women to similar roles in other countries.
Despite Mrs. Clinton's claims, a Gallup poll found last week that 51 percent of Americans had already made up their minds not to vote for her.
The top Democrat offered the comments after Pauley noted that President Bush had recently said she'd make a "formidable" candidate.
Mrs. Clinton declined to return the compliment however, and instead blasted Mr. Bush for mishandling the rebuilding of New Orleans after it was destroyed by Hurricane Katrina.
"I think that basically we are now watching a deliberate policy of neglect take root," Hillary complained.
She then suggested that the White House didn't want to rebuild New Orleans because "all those Democrats might come home."

Anyone here with that feeling "it's time?"

"Mrs. Clinton said she suspected that the assignment of President Bush's top political adviser, Karl Rove, to oversee the relief effort indicated that political mischief was afoot. "Cynical minds might suggest that the destruction of the Democratic vote in Louisiana was a mixed blessing. If you rebuild New Orleans, all those Democrats might come home..."

Whose cynical mind might she be referring to, her own?
