Funny Thing About Geraldine Ferraro
For the past twenty years, you've been more likely to see her mug on one of those "Where Are They Now" programs on VH-1 than on cable news shows. But now that she's willing to bash Obama and divide the Democratic Party, we can't get her off camera.

Amazing how her recently-rediscovered celebrity coincides with the MSM's need to support the third Bush Administration.

1. You talkin' about 'say-anything-Gerri-to get some face-time on TV'?
Yes, it's pretty obvious she's enjoying the limelight, regardless of how silly she's sounding.

4. Face-Time on TV? Sounding Silly?
She's been there ever since those Diet Pepsi commercials.

2. She made a lot of appearances on FOX over the last five+ years.
She has no politics, as far as I can tell. She's interested in herself and money.

She has certainly not been a Democrat for a very long time.

3. I expect to see this for the next 4 years
Hillary will weakly "support" Obama in public, but will have her surrogates trashing him at every turn.

86 Hillary.

5. Don't worry, soon enough she'll go back to being an irrelevant has-been

8. LOL Good, those Grannies Against the War can have a go at them
Tag team wrestling. Geraldine is into mudslinging, so that could be an element too. Let here take on some brave and righteously pissed older white women who went from strong anti-war feelings to stronger anti-war demonstrations.

Grannies with the sand to stage knit-ins and make stump covers for amputee vets in front of Recruitment offices are alright by me. Let's see if Geraldine has the gumption to go up against American Women who care about more than themselves!

11. Geraldine is a partner in Blank Rome
Edited on Wed May-21-08 09:55 AM by formercia
which has close ties to the 2000 Florida 'recount.' Blank Rome is a nest of right-wing reactionaries.

Ferraro is a faux Liberal. She is part of and promotes the powers that be.

12. Like Ed Koch?
I think there are a lot of those in New York -- given its heavily Democratic lean, if you want to get elected, you have to adopt the label. Your actual political philosophy be damned.
