Geraldine Ferraro: Clinton's Latest Designated Attack Dog?
This is just pathetic:
"In a telephone interview last week with the Daily Breeze of Torrance in advance of a local appearance Sunday, Ferraro said: "If Obama was a white man, he would not be in this position. And if he was a woman [of any color] he would not be in this position. He happens to be very lucky to be who he is."
In a brief Associated Press interview Tuesday while in Harrisburg, Pa., Clinton said she did not agree with Ferraro. She added, "It's regrettable that any of our supporters -- on both sides, because we both have this experience -- say things that kind of veer off into the personal."
Obama, in an interview with the Morning Call of Allentown, Pa., said, "I don't think Geraldine Ferraro's comments have any place in our politics or in the Democratic Party. They are divisive. I think anybody who understands the history of this country knows they are patently absurd. And I would expect that the same way those comments don't have a place in my campaign they shouldn't have a place in Sen. Clinton's either.""
Ferraro was a loser back in the day and she's a loser now. Clinton needs to stop with these sad desperation attacks (now being done by proxy?!) before I lose what little respect I still have for her. Click here for the full article by Robin Abcarian from the LA Times.

Update:
Wes might wanna give Ferraro a pass but I don't - especially since she's done this before.
