I’ll make sure I don’t see it.

Bush has had enough abuse from the LEFT.

The Pressly family released the following statement Saturday evening:

“We are profoundly saddened to tell you that our dear Anne has lost her struggle for life. It was our hope, as was yours, that Anne would overcome the injuries inflicted upon her in the brutal attack at her home. We were with her in her last moments, and although our hearts are broken, we are at the same time comforted by our faith knowing that Anne is now with our Heavenly Father.

The outpouring of compassion we have received is truly a testament to the way in which Anne has touched so many people in a positive way. Thank you for your prayers and your many acts of kindness. We are grateful for the wonderful care Anne received from her doctors, nurses and others at St. Vincent.

Our lives will not be the same without her. We ask that you continue to pray for us as we struggle to move forward without our dear sweet daughter. We also ask that you give us the privacy we need at this very difficult time.”

OK conspiracy theorists. What is the back-story on this? Was she working a story that would “embarrass” a candidate? Was she close to breaking a story or was this a random act of violence?

How could someone be so cruel. Take her things, but not her life.

This horrible story is really weird. I know there are nuts out there, but what is the motive to breaking into someone’s house and beating her to death. Again, I know it happens, but I predict someone who knew this poor this woman personally eventually will be charged with her murder.
