NPR says Geraldine Ferraro was "schlonged"... in 2011!

Описание: On March 30, 2011, on National Public Radio's "Talk of the Nation," host Neal Conan described the 49-state loss by the Mondale-Ferraro ticket this way: "Sad news to report from this past weekend. Geraldine Ferraro died of blood cancer at the age of 75, the three-term congresswoman from Queens, the first woman to run for vice president of the United States in 1984, the first woman on a major party ticket to do so... And Chris Cillizza, that ticket went on to get schlonged at the polls, but that's a historic moment." Cillizza responded, "Absolutely historic moment, Neal, but as you point out, lost 49 states. The only state that that ticket won, which was led by Walter Mondale, was his home state." Neither Cillizza, who wrote The Fix column for the Washington Post, nor the other commentator, NPR national political correspondent Mara Liasson, criticized Conan for using the word "schlonged" in describing the severe beat-down of Mondale and Ferraro, "the first woman on a major party ticket... to run for vice president of the United States."
