Good Old Gerry

I was one of the congressional interns to Geraldine Ferraro in the early 1980's. We had a falling out over Passover. I couldn't do something because it was Passover and she ended up saying that she never wanted to see me in her office again. Our paths crossed a few times after that and I wrote an article in Newsday about the experience.

She's not a racist. But she does need some sensitivity training. Her assertion that Obama was benefiting from his status as the first African American perceived as having the chance to win the presidency is exactly the same as saying that Hilary is benefiting from her husband's presidency. What was she thinking. She shouldn't have gone there.
