Hey, Geraldine Ferraro! I'm taking your picture out of my hope chest, you sleazy piece of shit!
I've pared this down, but not in any sort of misleading way. If anything she says here does not fill you with disgust, I don't think I like you.
(CNN) – Geraldine Ferraro said she blames Barack Obama's campaign for the uproar over her recent comments।
... 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.
... In the interview Thursday, Ferraro suggested she did not regret making the comments, saying she was "talking to the facts," and that the issue of race has been raised several times in the campaign before, including by Obama himself.
"The enthusiasm you get from the black community over this black candidate is wonderful, and I don't think you can deny it," she said.
"No more than I remember how people felt when I was running।"

Right. "The enthusiasm you get from the black community over this black candidate." How people felt when she was running. You know how people felt when she was running? They felt like voting for Ronald Reagan, and maybe going home and watching "Riptide". If people were excited by Geraldine Ferraro that election (and really don't remember it being a big deal, seeing as she was only the VP nominee, which no one ever gives a fuck about), it was only because Mondale was exceedingly dull and Reagan was a shoo-in. Or shoe-in. I'm not sure how you spell that. Anyway, this article really bugged me. The whole tenor of the Clinton campaign has bugged me since they won Ohio and sort of won Texas.
She knows the only way she can win is if she tears down Obama. This is how much she cares about this country. Fuck you, Hillary Clinton. I would have gladly accepted a Clinton win as a fine consolation prize, but I have trouble feeling that way right now. Unfortunately, the next two big rounds are in Pennsylvania and Indiana, both of which are packed to the gills with white idiots. Now that we know Obama is black, this could be a whole new ballgame.
