Can you imagine anyone who's led a more disadvantaged life? Geraldine Ferraro can't:
"I think what America feels about a woman becoming president takes a very secondary place to Obama's campaign - to a kind of campaign that it would be hard for anyone to run against," she said. "For one thing, you have the press, which has been uniquely hard on her. It's been a very sexist media. Some just don't like her. The others have gotten caught up in the Obama campaign.
"If Obama was a white man, he would not be in this position," she continued. "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. And the country is caught up in the concept."
The mind-boggling lack of self-awareness it must take to say this as a supporter of a woman who had practically been crowned the presidential nominee based on little more than her husband's popularity and political machine...jesus christ
