Well it seems as though our dear friend Geraldine Ferraro has resigned from the very position in the Clinton campaign in which she claims she never had. Earlier today, CNN released Ferraro’s unrepentant “resignation letter”:

Dear Hillary

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…

With a sense of brash sarcasm and backwards logic,similar to her racist comments earlier this week, Ferraro fails to come to terms with her involvement with the Clinton campaign. Over the past couple of days Ferraro has continued to insist as recently as yesterday that she wasn’t part of the Clinton team.

Ferraro said the Clinton campaign cannot fire her because she is not an adviser.

“It’s impossible to fire somebody who’s not involved with it,” she said.

So what does this quasi resignation letter really mean. Ferraro still perceives herself as a separate entity from the Clinton camp, or at least that is the feeling she is trying to pan in the media. All the while Hillary Clinton is quietly reaping the benefits of Ferraro’s race-baiting. Just take a look at what Clinton said in the February 26th debate about Barack Obama in her attempt to associate him with Louis Farrakhan, an extremely hateful religious zealot:

No. I’m just saying that you asked specifically if he would reject it. And there’s a difference between denouncing and rejecting. And I think when it comes to this sort of, you know, inflammatory — I have no doubt that everything that Barack just said is absolutely sincere. But I just think, we’ve got to be even stronger. We cannot let anyone in any way say these things because of the implications that they have, which can be so far-reaching.

This was AFTER Barack Obama repeatedly rejected Farrakhan’s support a countless number of times. Yet amidst Ferraro’s blatantly racist remarks, Senator Clinton simply states that it’s regrettable. Why does she not feel the need to“reject and denounce” the race-baiting statements of Geraldine Ferraro in the same way she demanded Barack Obama did, even after he had made it clear that he rejected everything about Farrakhan. But hey, Hillary does hypocrisy with the best of them, so I guess we shouldn’t really expect anything less from a fledgling Hillary Clinton.
