IDIOT OF THE DAY

Nothing smells idiot like stupid politicians, or in this case, former politicians.

Ms. Geraldine Ferraro, our honorary moron, had this to say about Democratic Presidential hopeful, Barack Obama...

"If Obama was a white man, he would not be in this position. And if he was a woman (of any color) he would not be in this position. He happens to be very lucky to be who he is."

What an idiot!

Lets try and forget for a second she is a financier of Senator Hillary Clinton's campaign. She was Walter Mondale's running mate in 1984. She was a novelty. And with a prior Congressional career, she became the foundation for Clinton's springboard toward the candidacy.

But after Clinton's victory in Ohio and strong showing in Texas, Ms. Ferraro may have un-stitched the wound Bill Clinton unleashed in South Carolina. Oh, but our distinguished moron isn't done just yet. Today, March 12, Ms. Ferraro followed up her statement with this beautifully spoken verse:

"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?"
