Geraldine Ferraro Goes There...Again

The first time, she got booted from the Hillary Clinton campaign for saying "If Obama was a white man, he would not be in this position." Spinning furiously, Ferraro doubled-down, taking great umbrage at being called a racist for simply stating facts (video).

Having learned her lesson, this time she deploys an oblique line of attack.

Talking about sexism in the campaign on the Today Show, Geraldine says it would be an outrage if a hypothetical racist (not her!) held up a "SHINE MY SHOES!" placard at an Obama rally, whereas there wasn't a peep when a sexist actually held up an "IRON MY SHIRT!" sign at a Hillary event. It comes at the 5:45 mark:

Got that? Geraldine is just saying other folks would be inclined to denigrate Obama's race. Just like Bob Kerrey said other folks were calling Obama the Islamic Manchurian Candidate. They're just sayin', yo.

Enjoy these magic moments while they last...

I think I'd like her better if she had stuck by what she said.
