Okay, for balance, how about a portrait next to hers of one of the millions of murdered, innocent unborn children her philosophy helped to kill?

A Window to the Soul

I see it as a Window to No-where, there's no soul in there to be found.

I could see that she was very religious and worshiped Bacchus.

Her exterior appearance,regardless of how it might be perceived,isn't important.

Her undeniable inner ugliness is an entirely different story.

Even her *friends* didn't like her.

Looks like a pretty accurate representation to me. Like Karl Malden with a white wig.

Poor Betty. She used to jog around Sag Harbor and everyone would just stand and watch her.

If she ran any slower she would have been running backwards.

A very funny sight it was.

The painting is brilliant. It captures the sadness of a life spent pushing a philosophy that left her empty and bitter.

They both died, but the one on the right did no harm.

****“I couldn’t make her a beautiful woman—she was not beautiful by Hollywood standards—*****

She wasnt beautiful by any standards.Well--Maybe by Helen Thomas's standards.

She is definitely one of the Lee sisters.
You know them, Home and Ugh ?
