Boviosity!

In a fund-raiser speech Saturday Hillary Clinton attempted to leaven her remarks with a little humor:

During an event here for Senate candidate Nancy Farmer, Clinton introduced a quote from Gandhi by saying, "He ran a gas station down in St. Louis."

Lame joke, but to anyone who thinks Clinton was attempting

to fuel the stereotype often used as a comedic punch line that certain ethnic groups run America's gas stations

I've got to say, lighten up, folks. Clinton's no favorite of mine (politically, anyway. I always liked her personally. By which I mean I always found her kind of hot) but this is simply ridiculous.

In what exact way could Clinton's little gag

"...be incredibly harmful."

as Michelle Naef of the M.K. Gandhi Institute for Nonviolence said? Is there value in refraining from doing violence to the truth, as the naif in charge of the Gandhi institute has done?

Although it's refreshing to see a politician on the Left taking this kind of heat, I'm still against it on principle so I can't encourage it even when the target is Shrillary, certainly one of the more astute miners of Political Correctness for political gain.
