1. In her mind or in reality?

2. I guess "attempted cover" would be more accurate.
You raise a good question; I'll answer "in her mind".

3. NO WAY! Gerry is from the HOOD!
newBaGHdad, Fool. WHAT!
This is the (845) / 8 gangstas with 45's.
We have a drug gang called the Talaban (actually, we have such a strong local gang presence that the CRIPS and the BLOODS can't get a foothold in the city).

Gerry is from Newburgh, NY. And she wasn't part of the fascist racist crowd here.

4. No, it's not racism, she's just pissed...
and feeling spiteful.

Racism is a deep and visceral thing - her anger is coming from a much shallower place.

She's an embarrassment to older women.

9. Obamites never learn. They will go their graves unaware of what fuck-ups they've been.

Go their graves many years hence, I hasten to say.
