Did she ever ask herself if Bill Clinton, George Bush, Ronald Reagan, Richard Nixon, Jimmy Carter, John McCain, Bob Dole, Mike Dukakis, Al Gore, John Kerry, etc etc etc would be where they were if they weren't white men?

She should shut up, but the damage is done.

Agreed. But she has just made it worse and worse every time she re-opens her mouth. I can't believe she is so stupid to not see how ridiculous her comments are. I'm now ashamed to admit that she was on the ticket of the first presidential vote I ever cast!

She at least made some sense back then...now she just sounds like a crazy old lady.

Apparently.
Ferraro: Obama camp 'did it to hurt Hillary'
In an interview Thursday with CNN affiliate WJAR in Providence, Rhode Island, the onetime vice presidential candidate also said the Obama campaign made a mistake in taking aim at her remarks.
"I do think this was a mistake on part of the Obama campaign," she said. "They didn't have to do this, and they did it to hurt Hillary. I just think that's bad. I think it's bad business, and I think it's bad politics.
"I was accused of being divisive. I think those tactics are divisive," she added. "And the amazing thing is it's not something I started, its something they did in reaction to this."
Ferraro also implored Obama's campaign to turn "the spigot off the hate mail I am getting."
"I find it very, very upsetting," she said. " I've been called all kinds of names, and the attacks are ageist, they're sexist, they're racist. It's been very, very uncomfortable."

All these career politicians want to become TV personalities in their old age. I wish they would just go away. They aren't doing the nation any good.

This is the single most, misguided statement I have ever heard or read!
"I was accused of being divisive. I think those tactics are divisive," she added. "And the amazing thing is it's not something I started, its something they did in reaction to this."

I love that she thinks this is all the Obama camp's fault. Unreal.

Sometimes I wish I had a superego, or at the very least, I wish I were delusionary.
