Hillary Clinton Compares 2000 Florida Recount to Nigeria's Rigged Elections

NAIROBI - Secretary of State Hillary Clinton compared Nigeria's corruption and electoral problems with the 2000 Florida presidential election recount during a town hall meeting today in Abuja, Nigeria.

Answering a question about Nigeria's recent election, Clinton said, "In 2000, our presidential election came down to one state where the brother of the man running for President was the governor of the state. So we have our problems too."

But Clinton praised the 2008 U.S. election as an example of how democracy should work.

"The point she is making is that it's about a disputed result and then the willingness of the candidates to accept a flawed result rather than, say resort to violence," said Assistant Secretary of State for Public Affairs PJ Crowley.

Trust me, lurking just underneath the surface of a so-called "mainstream" Dem is a DUbot.  Hillary is just the latest example.

Pray tell, Hillary, how does one jive the murder of hundreds in a corrupt election with a peaceful transfer of power in an election which, if anything, shows DEMOCRAT corruption?
