Over the course of the last year, some political figures have seen their stature and reputation rise, and others have seen the opposite. I feel confident that no one has done more to ruin their standing and eminence than Geraldine Ferraro. She’s just completely fallen apart, and has fallen so far from her role as a respected party leader. How sad.It's sad. But Clinton supporters who feel that they've gotten a bum deal need to take a reality check. Ferraro's remarks were at least tacitly backed by the Clinton campaign for a time, and I find it difficult to think of an analogous supporter of Obama who said the equivalent things about Clinton's gender, let alone one that stuck around until the heat got too bad.
John Cole's response to the latest round of Ferrtardation is a bit more pungent:
I was only 14 at the time when she ran in 84- was she always this damned stupid?I couldn't say, but I'm guessing yes.
