First Dubya's re-election caused stress and depression amongst the Dims. Now, here's the first death.

Esther Howe Wescott, a lifelong Democrat who idolized Franklin Roosevelt, died on Dec. 24 shortly after expressing her fierce opposition to President Bush. Man, Karl Rove is everywhere.

More proof, if such were needed, that "old" and "wise" are not synonyms.

Weren't there already a few DemDespair deaths after the election? Or were those just the 'last wish = anti-bush vote' deaths I'm thinking of?

It's likely she'll continue to vote for another 50 years.

I dunno. Looks like Alec Baldwin's still bulking up.

Dying with that much hate in one's heart isn't a good way to leave this earth. Hope she didn't take too many heavy winter clothes along...

Another Roosevelt Democrat who never realized that the party changed. I've got one in my family too.

'Call the Pope, Esther Howe Wescott is a Saint in the democratic party. She supported my protegee and pro-abortion candidate. Surely the Pope will agree.'

"In her last words, she said she had wanted anyone but Bush to be president." I would advise this tortured creature to get a life but .. I guess that advice is moot now. I mean, jeeesh, is this all this woman has to say for herself? Apparently so.

Bury her in Chicago, she can remain active in Democratic Party politics.

I heard yesterday that Tony Randall had a last wish that neither Pres. Bush or VP Cheney attend his funeral that was published in his obit somewhere.
