Just in case you didn’t see it
I hate when I see a blog trying to decide which is worse: racism or sexism. They are both equally awful; debating the reasons they both suck gets us nowhere. In this vein, Keith Olbermann last night took on Clinton’s campaign for not distancing themselves from Ferraro’s comments that Obama is lucky to be who he is: a black man in this election season. See what you think:

Yes, Geraldine, everyone knows what a huge advantage black men have enjoyed in this country. What a fucking dope.
The funny thing is that Ferraro’s explanation/apology were actually worse then her original comments. Her comments just showcase the entitlement attitude that the Clintons have towards the presidency. Does Hillary Clinton or her supporters honestly believe that she would be where she is if it weren’t for her being married to Big Bill? Yes, her legislative record is so very impressive.
When the dust settles and Hilry is asking “how oh how could I have lost this race” she will only have to look around at her advisors (starting with Bill) to see how they wrecked her. Thank God.
Who watches MSNBC anyway?
More on the larger context surrounding the aftermath of this whole debate about the various bigotries.
