I hope the worms can stomach her better than I could.
I find 75 a bit to young to pass away and I hope that God is with her and her family and those who loved her . I did not agree with the majority of her opinions but with that said I’m sure she would have felt the same way towards mine .
“She suffers no longer...”
As in, “There is no hell nor purgatory”?
cokie was a too bad... a leftist but still a real journalist...
she has all the answers now and well, she must be ashamed of what she believed before...
That’s for God to decide. I meant on this earth.
I want every Freeper who has something nice to say about Cokie to read this:
I wonder if she wants to tear down the Pearly Gates... :-(
Wow I remember her and she wasn’t those wacky reporters spreading lies. Wow she died 17 years after being diagnosed with Breast Cancer.
Her father of course was a Democrat Congressman.
Comey’s firing like déjà vu all over again with Nixon era
By COKIE ROBERTS

It feels like déjà vu all over again for those of us who lived through the Nixon administration. An investigator gets too close to the occupant of the Oval Office for comfort and gets the boot. The rule of law is threatened. Now what?
We know how Watergate turned out — the combination of a relentless special prosecutor (even after one had been fired), high pressure committees on Capitol Hill, a persistent judge and a probing press forced Richard Nixon to resign.
Now, with the exception of the media, which Trump has undermined on a daily basis, none of those other checks on the president is in play. The Senate Republican leadership has made it clear that no special committees or special counsels will be named. And the Congressional investigations that are underway stray far from serious inquiries.
In the immediate wake of the bombshell firing of FBI Director James Comey, members of the Trump team used the opportunity to call for the termination of the investigation into the Kremlin’s meddling into the presidential election in the United States of America, just in case any of us missed what this dismissal was really about.
White House mouthpieces and some congressional Republicans point to the fact that Comey’s dismissal came after a recommendation from Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, who joined with his boss, Jeff Sessions, in papering Comey’s demise.
Defenders of the president’s decision to oust the man investigating his team’s ties to Russia gloss over the fact that it was promoted by an attorney general who recused himself from that investigation because of his own contacts with Vladimir Putin’s representatives.
Instead they point to the deputy — citing his recent confirmation vote of 94-6 as a sign of overwhelming endorsement of his probity.
But that was before Rosenstein sent out a memorandum that is laughable on its face. The idea that the Trump Justice Department terminated the FBI director because of his handling of Hillary Clinton’s emails during the presidential campaign doesn’t pass the red face test.
Without any of the players in Washington ready to use the checks the Founders placed on the presidency, Donald Trump seems certain to shut down any credible investigation into Russian interference in what are supposed to be our free and fair elections. There are state elections coming up soon. I suspect Moscow is well-prepared.
I’d be more upset if my lawn guy missed a week.

Cokie Roberts: Trump Calling Clinton “Unhinged” Is Code For “We Shouldn’t Elect A Woman”
Cokie Roberts quips that when Donald Trump says Hillary Clinton is ‘unfit’ to be president or ‘unhinged,’ he is really issuing a sexist dogwhistle which “is totally code for we shouldn’t elect a woman. That is exactly what that is.”
Cokie Roberts Calls Trump Supporters ‘Morally Tainted’

Cokie Roberts didn’t mince words Tuesday in describing GOP politicians who continue supporting Donald Trump despite serious misgivings.
“They’re morally tainted,” the NPR and ABC political commentator told Joe Scarborough on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.”
“I mean there’s just no question about that. You can’t say, ‘He’s a racist and what he says is textbook racism, but I support him because he’s the nominee of my party.’”
Of course, conservative groups took umbrage. Fox News wrote that Roberts made no mention of “possible ethical dilemmas facing backers of Hillary Clinton.” The Daily Wire called Roberts’ comments a “typical display of leftist hypocrisy.”
“Nobody’s ever seen anything like this,” responded Roberts, whose parents were elected to Congress as Democrats in Louisiana. “Not only did I grow up in politics, I grew up in the Jim Crow South. And we spent the last 50 years trying to bring people together instead of push people apart. And so that becomes a terrible stain on the country.”
Roberts has been a fierce critic of Trump. In March NPR had to clarify her commentator role after she co-wrote a column asking “the rational wing” of the Republican Party to stop his march to the presidential nomination.
It looks like she’s not letting up.
She was certainly left wing but not obnoxiously......rip Cokie
It’s the non-obnoxious ones who do the most damage.
Anyone see the cause of death? 75 is pretty young these days.
And ABC replaced her with none other than George Stephy, continuing the tradition of allowing Democrat insiders to "report" their news and commentary.
She was the definition of a Washington insider.
Were you able to type that with a straight face? Oh, and you oh me a new keyboard because of the coffee you made me spray on it.
