So there's that.

I'm glad at times like these that I don't have TV. They will be tripping over each other to humanize her and make her out to be the mother of our nation. It will be beyond gag worthy. Ugh.

....was a mean spirited political hack, right out of the Lee Atwater school of attack politics, always on message. Don’t believe me, look at her convention interviews from 2004.

her hair turned white..and out of respect for her daughter, she never colored her hair...

Robin died in 1953...this photo was taken in 1964..

I hate it when media picks up on folklore and turns it into "fact:"..

I just lost my father last week so I know how it feels. No matter how well prepared you are it still hurts.
