"It certainly does. Where's the Dad in this story?"
He divorced her. Big shock, huh?
The rest of the family--her other children, appear to think she's a nutbag. They seem to be pro-Bush and for the war.
It's ruined her entire life, and now, forever more, she'll be remembered as a nutcase. She won't be remembered for raising a fine man who served his country. Pity.
