She was a real honey wasn’t she? She looks like Richard Nixon with lipstick on.

A 69 year old woman who’s dieing of cancer and you want the picture of a babe?

Stalin, whose original surname was Dzhugashvili, ruled the Soviet Union with an iron fist until his death in 1953. Tens of millions of people were executed or deported to prison camps under his rule."

Hmmmm ..... how did that paragraph sneak into a CNN story??

I thought something had happened to Hillary for a second.

I'm sure she was stunning before the cancer.

They accidentally left out part of a sentence--it should have read: "Tens of millions of people were executed or deported to prison camps under his rule by neocons seeking to discredit his leadership."

Actually she kind of resembles her dear old grandpapa.

[Mr. Lucky]

Actually, if you were to do a Google image search on “Stalin’s great-granddaughter” you might find a picture more to your liking.

As a WWII buff, I was interested in what Stalin’s granddaughter had to say about what happened to her father. It is one of those little mysteries that we may never know the whole truth about.

But since she isn’t pretty, you decide to ridicule her. That says a lot about you. And damn little about her.

Yes. It says that I ridicule women that aren't pretty, and it says that she isn't pretty. It's not a statement designed to provide WWII history. And I don't see how my view of how pretty she is hindered your quest for knowledge. You could have saved a lot of ink by simply saying, "You're a jerk." I'd be okay with that.

Anhyone wondering why Stalin was so evil should look at a picture of his mother.
