Two weeks after her statement that the House of Representatives was “run like a plantation,â�� New York senator Hillary Clinton received the coveted endorsement of 143-year-old Henry Washington, a Georgia man born on a plantation in 1863.

�Mr. Washington�s endorsement proves that Senator Clinton�s claim was accurate,� gushed Clinton Chief of Staff Tamara Luzzatto. �In fact, we took him to an open session of the House and he began singing religious hymns, and cowering when they banged the gavel. I mean, the guy tried to bale an intern. What more evidence do we need?�

�Missus Clinton gave me lime jello, so she�s A-OK in my book,� said Washington, who said he spends his days tending turnips, praying, and �fartin� dust.�

The endorsement was seen as a coup by the Clinton team, who felt that Mr. Washington�s backing might create a surge of support for the former first lady among retired plantation slaves.
