This is Eight Belles, the lady horse that got second place in this year’s Kentucky Derby and then was fucking killed immediately on the track. As Geraldine Ferraro would say, that is racism. Or the other one. Yes, it was ageism that killed Eight Belles. But Hillary Clinton has fared better than her horse-surrogate and won in Kentucky. Geraldine Ferraro would approve. Let’s liveblog more (part 1) idle chatter, on the teevee! MORE »

OLD LIBERAL LADY HATES OBAMA: Geraldine Ferraro, the horrible old woman who made history in 1984 by giving Ronald Reagan 49 of 50 states, continues her winning streak today by telling the NYT she probably won’t vote for Obama in November because she’s racist he’s, uh, “sexist.” [Real Clear Politics]

Here is some host lady, Randi Rhodes, from liberal radio’s Air America station. A few days ago she was performing some strange stand-up appearance and repeatedly called Geraldine Ferraro and Hillary Clinton “fucking whores,” and then said some stuff about Sheryl Crow, a.k.a. the poor man’s Sinbad. Air America suspended this Rhodes gal yesterday “for making inappropriate statements about prominent figures, including Senator Hillary Clinton, at a recent public appearance on behalf of Air America in San Francisco which was sponsored by an Air America affiliate station.” Here’s the clip (STRONG LANGUAGE SO ONLY WATCH IF YR ALONE OR HAVE A COOL BOSS).

GERALDINE FERRARO QUITS CLINTON: Former vice presidential lady candidate Geraldine Ferraro, who has strongly defended her fantastic, controversial comments about Barry Obama, has resigned from an official position on the Hillary Clinton campaign. “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,” she wrote in her resignation later. Obviously, this changes things a great deal. [CNN]

Ardent Clinton supporter Geraldine Ferraro ran for Vice President once, and now she wants everybody to know how fortunate Barack Obama is to be a black man. She recently told the Daily Breeze, an LA-area paper, that “If Obama was a white man, he would not be in this position. And if he was a woman (of any color) he would not be in this position. He happens to be very lucky to be who he is. And the country is caught up in the concept.” Whoopsy! MORE »

* Heard on the Hill: Remember yesterday’s picture of Hoyer and Pelosi dancing in the dark?

[Roll Call]
* Reliable Source: Elizabeth Birch and Hilary Rosen broke up! Aww… Geraldine Ferraro very popular with the Women’s Caucus. [WP]
* Yeas and Nays: Mark Russell has canceled his annual St. Patrick’s Day party. We’ve written an amusing song about it, but there’s sadly not time to play it now… Tony Snow forced an audience of federal employees to do the wave… Stephen Breyer speaks French. There are absolutely no jokes that could possibly be made about that. [Examiner]
* Under the Dome: Helen Thomas might get her seat back! When the next President takes over. Except the President doesn’t actually assign those seats, so you know… Ellen Tauscher’s district has renamed the Easter Bunny the “Spring Bunny.” Anything goes in California. [The Hill]
* Shenanigans: Everyone’s corrupt and making YouTube videos about it… The “Secular Coalition for America” is “outing” an atheist member of congress, or something. [Politico]
