I was looking for a picture of Gerri with Hillary, and I found this video which is what I would call the essential Geraldine Ferraro. She was fierce! A force to be reckoned with! I remember this night as if it were yesterday. This is priceless! “Don’t antagonize me!” When Gerri was on the warpath, everybody out of the way!
Here is the picture I found. I do not know which university this was, but clearly both Gerri and Hillary were being honored. Two giants of the women’s movement.
Then, when I was posting the link to this at Team Hillary Clinton, I found these! So I swiped them!
I have that Hillary shirt that Gerri is wearing. I have it in short and long sleeves! Gerri looks cute in it!
Great video, I saw a picture of gerry and hillary marching in new york in 2000.

I love that second to last picture. It’s not every day Hillary Clinton is the tallest one in a group.

I couldn’t keep watching the video, all though I love Gerry. I just keep remembering all the race baiting from Obama’s Campaign in 2008 and it made my blood boil at the time and it still does. Ugh. And to think they did it to a gem of a woman like Geraldine. They literally had no shame.
RIP
At least we have her to remember next time we have to stand up for ourselves.

littleisis, don’t get me started on Martha McCallum! That was a particularly distasteful display by MM. A friend of mine once remarked on how vengeful MM seemed to her. Gerry did really well in that interview anyway. What Gerry said is what so many are saying now. That race card is getting a bit frayed now but it took a brave woman to stand by the truth back then. I think it took someone like Gerry who knew herself so well and knew she wasn’t a racist to open the door for others to start questioning this damnable thing BO and DA perpetrated on the Clintons and the rest of the country. I think of what Molly Ivans once said of the re-election of Bush in 2004, that it may cure this country once and for all in the same way they cure a chicken-killing dog of his habit: You tie that dead chicken around his neck and make him live with it.
It’s so hard to believe she was ill. She was such a fighter and looks SO good in all the pictures here! I like the last one because Hillary looks so beautiful and Gerry looks so fierce in the corner there, cheering her on like she’s Burgess Meredith coaching Rocky! The other women just look awestruck. I’ve gotta think Gerry was so proud of Hillary and protective of her like a sister.
