And then there was that OTHER Ferraro interview....
Read it and then tell me she is wrong...she isn't.

“John Edwards, specifically, as well as the press, would never attack Barack Obama for two hours the way they attacked her,” said Geraldine A. Ferraro, the 1984 vice presidential candidate who supports Mrs. Clinton. “It’s O.K. in this country to be sexist,” Ms. Ferraro said.

“It’s certainly not O.K. to be racist. I think if Barack Obama had been attacked for two hours — well, I don’t think Barack Obama would have been attacked for two hours.”

In his criticism of Mrs. Clinton, Mr. Obama, a senator from Illinois, said he had not referred to his race when he was challenged at the debate.

1. I think Ferraro is just insane.
For one thing, she thought she and Mondale were qualified. Second, she thought they had a fucking chance in hell.

And now, these stupid comments.

2. Ferraro needs to talk to Howard Dean about getting attacked for 2 hours.
She has no clue.

3. Ferraro had a problem with Jesse Jackson. Now she has a problem with Obama.
She attacks them both saying that the only reason they have made it so far is because they are black.

Doesn't that tell you something?

5. Is it REALLY any wonder why Mondale/Ferraro was the biggest wipeout in electoral history?

Wow did Fritz make a horrible choice that year.
