From Ferraro to Palin: My, How The Times Change
National Review ^ | September 3 | Andy McCarthy/New York Times

Posted on 09/03/2008 5:31:51 PM PDT by PghBaldy

Where is it written that only senators are qualified to become President?... Or where is it written that mere representatives aren’t qualified, like Geraldine Ferraro of Queens?... Where is it written that governors and mayors, like Dianne Feinstein of San Francisco, are too local, too provincial?... Presidential candidates have always chosen their running mates for reasons of practical demography, not idealized democracy…. What a splendid system, we say to ourselves, that takes little-known men, tests them in high office and permits them to grow into statesmen.... Why shouldn’t a little-known woman have the same opportunity to grow?... [T]he indispensable credential for a Woman Who [sic] is the same as for a Man Who [sic] – one who helps the ticket.

HAH..... the NY Times editorial board said that about Ferraro way back when.....!!!!!

This should be shoved down the throats of every vicious lying scum in the MSM and Demagogue Party. Oh, it was just fine for them with Ferraro.
