But, um, she's going to go with all her racism guns a-blazing.

Ferraro notified Clinton by letter Wednesday that she would no longer serve on Clinton's finance committee as "Honorary New York Leadership Council Chair." 

"I am stepping down from your finance committee so I can speak for myself and you can continue to speak for yourself about what is at stake in this campaign. The Obama campaign is attacking me to hurt you. I won't let that happen," she said in the statement.

What utter nonsense. Can she really not see that what she said was outrageous????

Campaign spokesman Howard Wolfson said Ferraro left the post on her own initiative.

There's not a bit of remorse in any of the above, whether it's 1 she was forced out or stepped down on her own initiative. It's really too bad. She had a legacy of being almost the first female vice president in this country and certainly, at least in my own memory, had nothing that would have harmed her reputation as a great woman. Now she has dragged and apparently will keep dragging her reputation as a fair person through the mud.
