You and Your Racist Friend

This is where the party ends
I cant stand here listening to you
And your racist friend
I know politics bore you
But I feel like a hypocrite talking to you
And your racist friend

–They Might Be Giants: Your Racist Friend

Apparently Hillary Clinton isn’t a big TMBG fan, otherwise she’d have known better than to be so closely associated with unrepentant racist, Geraldine Ferraro. She actually just said:

“Racism works in two different directions. I really think they’re attacking me because I’m white. How’s that?”

Of course, Clinton is standing by her supporter. Never you mind that Samantha Power was forced to resign from Obama’s campaign for calling Mrs. Clinton a “monster.” Honestly though, if Clinton wants to keep friends like Ferraro close, she can be my guest; Obama can’t buy these sorts of headlines.

As with most things though, T-Rex said it best.
