G*ddammit Geraldine! What the hell were you thinking?

AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is what I have to say about Geraldine Ferraro saying that Obama is only a strong candidate because he's black. Do you know something? THAT'S THE SAME THING THAT ANN COULTER SAID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And I love Geraldine Ferraro. I think I had to pledge undying love for her in order to received my Women's Studies minor. It's, like, a requirement, along with not shaving your legs and listening to either Tori or Ani or both (I'm Tori only, BTW).

But what. the. f*ck. ????????????

You can't go around saying the same outrageously asinine things as Ann Coulter and expect me to say nothing. I know one of Ferraro's strong suits is her strident, confident, spitfire, tell-it-like it is nature, but this is too far. I'm pissed. Pissed.

To her credit, Hillary rejected that statement. This is from the AP:

Clinton has said she disagrees with Ferraro's remarks. In an interview with The Associated Press, she said, "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."

But they're so calculated, those Clintons. I feel like the make sacrificial lambs sometimes.

Anyway, I will not get over this any time soon. I am sad and angry and appalled. And if you think I'm overreacting, check out this juxtaposition of footage:

First, watch the first 27 seconds of this clip - the evil one speaks...



And then jump to 3:57 on this clip and HEAR THE SAME THING from Geraldine Ferraro. (And hear my heart breaking over it, too)...





Lordy, lordy. What is the world coming to?
