by user Don Pesci We live in the age of apologies, but here’s a corker: In South Carolina, African American state senator Robert Ford quickly threw his support to Senator Hillary Clinton, wife of the “first black American president,” Bill Clinton.

So a reporter asked him about it. In South Carolina, this sort of thing is important. Not Hillary. __NOEDITSECTION__
