Case Against Hillary

(video - Rep. Ferraro makes and ass out of herself on FAUX News...more down the page)


WTF? We've just made the rounds of the cable news outlets, the newspapers and the blogs tonight.


We're still wondering what happened. Earlier, we pontificated about why we couldn't support this state's favorite daughter in this election cycle.


OK, a disclaimer. We're bitter about this. We admired Hillary, and despite a blow-job in the Oval Office, we still admire Bill Clinton. However, Hillary wants this so bad, and has such bad vibes around her campaign that it's turned us off. This isn't the woman who wrote "It Takes a Village" or her memoirs. We don't know who this is now -- we'd still like to think it's Mark Penn and jerks on her campaign doing this. At this stage, someone accurately described her campaign as that of the "Democratic Huckabee."



We just didn't know how nasty she'd get. In days gone by, we'd have applauded her hardball tactics, but some of them smell to high heaven, and we just can't swallow much more of it. We know most of you out there who dream of a Democrat retaking the White House remember the clover days of the Clinton Administration. However, Hillary has gone beyond anything we would ever have wanted to see her do against another Democrat. This is stuff she should have saved up for the Republicans
stuff she should never have unleashed within the party.



We can't figure out some of the things we've read today.



Let's start with President Clinton paying a visit to the Rush Limbaugh show to talk about his wife's candidacy during the Texas primary/caucus. Why? Why would he do that? Was he outsmarting Rush's stand-in that day or was he just willing to do about anything with anyone to win? This is breathtaking, and we can hardly imagine
it even happening. You can actually LISTEN to Bill on-air on the Limbaugh show. He sounds very cordial.


Actually, from what we've read there isn't too much bad blood between the two -- a bit of professional courtesy.


Still, it boggles the mind.



That's not the worst thing. Geraldine Freaking Ferraro has a big mouth, and we just lost an enormous amount of respect for her. Jesus, what are they trying to do, force us to vote Nader and joint the Green party? And what bites even more than her insane babble is that she went on Fox to defend herself.



Here are some of the remarks that got the ball rolling.

Any time anybody does anything that in any way pulls this campaign down and says let's address reality and the problems we're facing in this world, you're accused of being racist, so you have to shut up," Ferraro said. "Racism works in two different
directions. I really think they're attacking me because I'm white. How's that?"



"Every time that campaign is upset about something, they call it racist," she said.
"I will not be discriminated against because I'm white. If they think they're going
to shut up Geraldine Ferraro with that kind of stuff, they don't know me."

With all due respect, Representative, Shut yer big old garbage spewing yap. And to think...we voted for you.


What a kick in the shorts.

Maybe the boneheads in the anti-immigrant and Klan groups will be happy to welcome you with open arms. Your little stint on Fox was fun too -- yeeeessssss, of course you've fought for civil rights for years...and we can just hear it now, we'd bet Gerry would just love to remind us that some of her best friends are black, too.



Last but not least, the exit polls from today's win in Mississippi are disheartening. Are we really a bunch of racists in the South? Guess we still haven't gotten over that whole civil war thing with people still celebrating Lee's birthday on MLK Day and the DemGaz doing it's annual ode to the defeated rebel general who killed thousands of Americans fighting for the union and the constitution, not to mention emancipation. Perhaps this is an unpleasant turn of the mirror back at us. We're pretty sure the numbers in Arkansas looked a lot like these, and if they didn't, we know the sentiment is the same.

As has been the case in many primary states, Obama won overwhelming support from African-American voters. They went for him over Clinton 91-9 percent.



But Mississippi white voters overwhelmingly backed the New York senator, supporting
her over Obama 72 percent to 21 percent.

Do you think race played a part here? We think it did in Ohio, and we think it will in Pennsylvania, mostly because we've lived in those places, and know what many of the white, ethnic blue collar folks might think of Senator Obama.


It's a crying shame. We dinged Bill Clinton for his Limbaugh stint, but he even writes about the "say one thing, vote another" factor he encountered early in his career in his memoirs.



What side are these people on?



Oh yes, it also appears that Obama has won Texas...he now has more delegates than Clinton has. It seems to us President Clinton said Hillary had to get out of the race if she lost Texas or Ohio.



When can we expect her to leave? We hope it's before she damages her own reputation any more and before she harms the party's chances in November more than she already has.



Oh, yes, and Senator, please ask Gerry Ferraro to get out of your campaign, just like you asked Obama to kick Sarah Power to the curb after she called you a "monster" - because it's starting to look like she was right.
