Andy Card is a first rate joker

If she was 'the conscience' that made those around her pause, explain the assassination of Allende, the illegal invasion and occupation of Iraq and Katrina. Why do people believe they must make up crap when people die?
She loved her family -that's perfectly normal.

It was not a love story. It was full of dalliances, neglect, abandonment, at least one life-long affair and as we found out recently, lots of GrOPing.

Why did she stay? I don't think it was the kids. MSNBC showed a clip of her earlier describing how she looked at a guest list for a state function and realized she knew everyone on it, "because of the life he gave me." I think she stayed because of "the life he gave me."

IMHO.

(forgive me, mother, I have spoken ill of the dead).

The Carters are qualified for that line.

Great post - our mothers will forgive us although mine wasn't always politically correct
