Geraldine Ferraro gets help getting high on archibunkocaine

First off, I really want to know what kind of a hand-off Hillary Clinton promised to Ferraro if she became the nominee and eventual President of the United States. The woman has gone beyond the deep end with her one-woman Oppression Olympics. She is so determined to prove that the Democratic party is littered with women haters that she's hoodwinked some rich women to pay for a "study" that'll prove her point :

In response, a group of women - from corporate executives to academics to members of the media - have requested that the Shorenstein Center at Harvard University and others conduct a study, which we will pay for if necessary, to determine three things.

First, whether either the Clinton or Obama campaign engaged in sexism and racism; second, whether the media treated Clinton fairly or unfairly; and third whether certain members of the media crossed an ethical line when they changed the definition of journalist from reporter and commentator to strategist and promoter of a candidate. And if they did to suggest ethical guidelines which the industry might adopt.

First off, even though I don't agree with her some of her itemizations, Melissa McEwan has the sexism in the media covered. Yet I think it was either Gallup, Rassmussen or Pew who did already studies about whether the candidates have been treated fairly by the media. Guess who actually gets more passes by the media than other candidates? Racism? Oh lord, just go to Baratunde's wiki, please. And last, what a fucking straw man. Hello, let's page Jay Rosen, so he can school you in one or two things about journalism, especially what journalists are really all about.

Here's what I want to know from Geraldine Ferraro, who was in Clinton's finance committe : Where did most of the $100 million go?

Hillary Clinton's campaign became the first one to break records in fundraising for a presidential primary, raising $100 million almost 6 months before the start of the primary season and yet, they were broke by Super Tuesday. Geraldine Ferraro was one of the purse keepers. Can she tell us where did that money go?

From where I stand what this looks like is someone desperate to call sexism gross mismanagement of electoral funds. And yes, I am going to go there by saying that Geraldine Ferraro is trying to deflect recriminations for what some people are saying border on fraud.

Oh, right --this is not the real world but some parallel Clinton universe.

It' can't be gross negligence and mismanagement what did her in.

It has to be mysogyny.

George W. had one of the greatest resources in foreign relations and political experience in the world -- his old man! What if he didn't have this hubris of 'I am going to do it on my own'? If he had listened to his old man in terms of what to do after 9/11 and everything, he wouldn't have been in the mess he is in right now, and the country would not be in the mess it is right now.
