Ugh. How awful.

[GoSox05]

Talk about someone who just got f***ed over the past few years. Sad.

Did you mean to word that differently? Sounds odd.

Yeah I did. Sorry.

RIP

Not to speak ill of the dead, but she has come off as having quite a few issues of her own from what I have read. Not necessarily just the victim most people think.

regardless, she was an amazing woman who dealt with a lot of tragedy in her life, and was pretty inspirational to a lot of people. she handled everything that happened in the past few years with a lot of class - at least publicly - and that's all you can expect. RIP

Well damn, I read earlier today that she stopped her cancer treatment, but it was talking like she had weeks left, not hours.

Not to speak ill of the dead, but, I'm going to speak ill of the dead.

Fine. Sorry.

 

I guess we'll all just lie about who she was because we're sad she died even though none of us have ever met her or know her.

Say whatever you'd like, I just thought it was funny that you tried to make it out to be something it wasn't. I personally think its a little tacky to choose this moment to talk about her possible sketchiness - she just spent the past few years fighting cancer and a cheating husband while trying to help cancer charities and oh-by-the-way be a national politician's wife (which has to be among the s***tiest jobs one can have).

Read Game Change.

 

And personally I think it's a bit tacky for you and others to feign deep concern and sadness for someone you knew very little about. But hey, she passed away, so it's ok to grossly exaggerate who she was or all the wonderful things she did.

 

Yes, it's too bad that she passed away. But people die from cancer and other illnesses or tragedies all the time and no one so much as flinches.

I feigned nothing, and you'll note I said nothing about her at all except to point out her struggles. I said nothing of any deep sadness or concern, as I do not know the woman. Like I said, feel free to say whatever - I just find it tactless, and that is only my opinion.

Your opinion is noted.

Oh wow. Sad. I saw this morning on the news they are giving her only a few weeks.

[Texsox]

Having to live a private life out in the public must be so difficult, she seemed to manage it with a lot more class and grace than most.

I am certain she was human and had a few issues of her own. Some of her own making. No one is ever that one sides.

[Rex Kickass]

Fine. Sorry.

I know people that knew her personally, and none of them ever had a bad word to say about her. In fact, it was usually "I love her!"

If you are using Game Change to paint your whole view of this person I find that kind of sad. They gave inside stories on really tense moments specifically on the campaign. I guess that drowns out all the personal work she did for so much good. Because she swore at people who weren't doing a good job on the campaign.

Did I ever say she was a big bag of s*** or something?

 

Sorry folks, but I just find it incredibly disgusting how it's fair game to absolutely trash anyone that is living, then the moment they die, it's all rainbows and unicorns. How pathetic.

"Read game change"

 

I find it incredibly shallow to bring your opinion based off one mark halperin book to act like you know more about her than the rest of us who are sad she passed. We all read the book.

I never said I knew more than anyone about her. Maybe you should stop implying all kind of things from 5 sentences I've written in this thread.

 

It's more a general statement about how mercilessly political and other commentators, including those on message boards, attack people they know nothing personal about while said person is alive, then the complete opposite when said person passes away.

 

Nevermind, you keep feigning sadness like she was your aunt or something and I'll stay out of the thread.

I've certainly met her. FWIW

[jasonxctf]

she definitely had 3 huge issues to deal with in life. Probably enough to drive some women insane.

 

- Her son dying so young

- Her Cancer Battle

- Her Husband cheating and fathering a child with another women
