Ferraro's condescension & ignorance exposed

Geraldine Ferraro, who as you may recall was on the ticket with Walter Mondale in 1984 in the biggest Election Day defeat in U.S. history (lost 49 states), had the temerity to say on Hannity and Colmes the other night that blue states produced the most "talent" and "creativity", and that red states would be "nothing" without the blue states.

So no real talent comes from red states, hmm? Let's look at some, especially some liberal champions:


Oprah Winfrey? Mississippi.
Martin Sheen? Ohio (Dayton).
Ed Asner? Missouri (Kansas City)
Marlon Brando? Nebraska (Omaha).
Warren Beatty? Virginia (Richmond).
Mrs. Warren Beatty, Annette Bening? Kansas (Topeka).
Johnny Carson? Nebraska.
David Letterman? Indiana.
Dan Rather? Texas (assuming the birth certificate is authentic).
Tom Brokaw? South Dakota.

Ella Fitzgerald? Virginia (Newport News).
Nat King Cole? Alabama.
Elvis? Tupelo, Mississippi and Memphis, Tennessee.
Bo Diddly? Mississippi.
John Mellencamp? Indiana.
Rush Limbuagh? Missouri (Cape Girardeau).
Warren Buffet? Nebraska (Omaha).
Helen Gurley Brown? Arkansas.

From Rush:

The great secret about this country is that it is its heartland. Do you think it's any wonder that most people born in the mid-south or the Midwest or the upper Midwest happen to go on to become nationally known in their fields? I've always thought there's something about the values that you're taught with when you grow up in the Midwest help you to relate to the whole country, or at least that part of the country that matters. The red states.
