Ferraro Flap
I have lots to say about Ms. Ferraro's rather vile dismissal of Obama, but little to no time to type it. In short, I think she's essentially saying he's nothing but his race - nothing of substance underneath. And it's only a short walk from there to the idea that he's nothing *because* of his race. It's not just a crass, divisive, hateful, Republican style of politics, it's effectively a denial of his humanity. He's just an empty black suit.

It really pissed me off, obviously.

What say you?
