Mrs. Kondracke died just about 4 years ago this week after a long time suffering Parkinsons. He wrote a book about it.

Just because he made an incredibly dumb and incomprehensble statement is no reason to bring his wife into this discussion.

Mrs. Kondracke died just about 4 years ago this week after a long time suffering Parkinsons. He wrote a book about it.

I was surprised to learn that he had remarried.

I didn't bring his wife into anything. If anything it refers to his mother, as in; "Hey VR-21 did your mother have any kids that lived?" Jeez, I guess people don't say it anymore, but it was once very common.

That statement refers to Kondrake's mother, not to his wife. It's an old insult.
