Would somebody please tell Geraldine that she’s a Democrat, despite being a paid analyst on FOX News. Also, could we please ask her to go sit in the corner until such time as she is willing to admit her mistake.
Yesterday, Ms. Ferraro resigned her unpaid position with the Clinton campaign finance committee. Although Geraldine resigned, she still maintained as of yesterday morning that she could not be fired because she was not “officially” part of the campaign’s organizational structure. Then why did she have to resign?
Oh, the resignation, here it is read it for yourself:
Dear Hillary –
I am stepping down from your finance committee so I can speak for myself and you can continue to speak for yourself about what is at stake in this campaign.
The Obama campaign is attacking me to hurt you.
I won’t let that happen.
Thank you for everything you have done and continue to do to make this a better world for my children and grandchildren.
You have my deep admiration and respect.
-Gerry
Shall we examine the letter bit by bit? Let’s. Gerry claims that by resigning she will be able to speak for herself from now on. I’ll take her at her word and I can surmise then that when she made the ridiculous statements, she made them on behalf of Senator Clinton. Fair enough.
So Gerry, what is at stake in this campaign? From your remarks and your continuous diatribe about Obama, not to mention your newly created crusade against the heretofore unrecognized privilege that black men enjoy in this country, I can only guess that this election is about GENDER VS. RACE or perhaps melatonin vs. the uterus. For some reason I hadn’t gotten that from Obama’s speeches or Clinton’s. Using the Ferraro logic, when I vote, I’m really choosing between skin pigment and vagina. I really do wish Obama had a vagina, now I’m surely going to vote for Hillary. I mean who in their right mind wouldn’t choose vagina over skin pigment? Can anyone confirm that Senator Clinton has a vagina? Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity seem to think otherwise. Oh, I’m not taking Bill Clinton’s word for it either.
Rush, Sean, and Ann Coulter all swore that John Edwards had a vagina. No wonder he lost, this vagina discrimination thing go way deeper than I thought, no pun intended.
Also, the skin pigment vs. vagina thing does put the infamous “3:00AM phone call” ad into perspective. Imagine for yourself, it’s 3:00AM, the phone rings, if you’ve got to wake up don’t you wish the call is about vagina? Typically that time of the night/morning, my dreams tend to involve vagina. This really makes since now. The ad is really asking this question: “It’s 3:00AM, who do you want answering your booty call?”
“The Obama camp is attacking me to hurt you.” Did she write this before or after Hillary denounced and repudiated her statements? I get that feeling that if Obama wrote a song, Geraldine would think it was about her.
Gerry has spent the past 48 hours going on every network that would have her. Her complaint, that’s right, the Obama folks are playing the “Race Card”. Problem is that Gerry and the Clinton campaign have been dealing the Race Card for some time now in hopes that Obama would pick it up and play. This time though, Ms. Ferraro you dealt the Race Card from the bottom of the deck and you’re paying for it. I like many others wish that you would go away.
Maybe it is because I am pretty young, but I don’t really notice race and gender. The problem is – you can’t help but notice it when the news keeps shoving it in your face.
We already KNOW that polling doesn’t mean much. We already KNOW that pundits are pulling crap out of their collective asses. We already KNOW that Obama and Hillary and McCain are some of the most well-educated presidential contenders we’ve ever had.
I think it’s important to note that most of the pundits and opinionists are older. (Ferraro is ancient!) And unless you want to continue with a history of divisiveness, then – please – shut the heck up.
I just have an image of some pollster running up to all of the black voters asking “Did you vote for Obama??” To all of the women asking “Did you vote for Hillary?”
All of our ‘facts’ are virtual, and they may not be accurate.
When you keep hearing all this trash about race from Hillary’s camp, is it any wonder blacks are voting for Obama?
The difference between Ferraro and Obama is that she was PICKED by Mondale, mostly because she has a vagina; Obama is CAMPAIGNING. Big difference.
Great point KIP! I’ll take it one step further, Ferraro as you said was “chosen” she didn’t even run in the primary. Obama, conversely, has been picked by the people. So if Ferraro has a problem, besides her obvious xenophobia, it’s with the voters. Apparently, the voters disagree with her.
I completely agree that this bag should go away. Respectfuly, very respectfuly, I still think Obama loses this primary as a white man.
Yeah, if Geraldine doesn’t go away she could ruin the Democrats’ chances this November.
I still don’t agree with the “if Obama was white man” hypothetical. The other day I heard Pat Buchanon talk about this idea and I like what he said, which I’ll paraphrase here. He said, that if Obama were caucasian he would be a smarter, better-spoken and more likable version of John Edwards. I agree and I think that he’d be more electable than Edwards. Just my opinion, uh supported by Pat Buchanon (egad!).
Love it! Dealer’s Choice. As for me I have a vagina! As for Obama I was born in Evanston, Il.! So I am litarlly torn, just kidding. Love your blogs, keep them coming.
