America’s first female vice-presidential candidate, Geraldine Ferraro, has resigned from Hillary Clinton’s campaign in disgrace after she said that Obama “would not be in this position” if he were a white man. Except, according to her, there’s no disgrace at all. In fact, she’s owed an apology. After a liberal blog and media feeding frenzy over her comments, she stepped down from her position on the finance committee — but she refused to apologize for the flap. “If anybody is going to apologize,” she said defiantly, “They should apologize to me for calling me a racist.” She said she’s stepping down only so the campaign can move past this issue. Obama himself stopped short of calling her racist, but Hillary aggressively attacked her. “I rejected what she said and I certainly do repudiate it.” She rejects and repudiates? She’s making sure all her bases are covered. She’s also putting Ferraro in the same box as Louis Farrakhan. Ouch!
