I’m sure she died proud of her grandson

You know, I completely second that opinion. He did old Toot proud. It's a shame that everyone responsible for raising him is now gone though, but as has already been noted, this happens to us all.

She sounds like she was one hell of a woman.

ABC News says her death is another surprise in an election that has had many. Bah to the media.

DITTO. Sen Obama, we join you in prayer for your grandmother. I pray she was truly a believer that we may have blessed assurance of her place in heaven. So terribly sorry to hear of her suffering. Death is the one common bond we have.

I know. I’m trying to be respectful to Mrs. Dunham. But... Barry doesn’t bring out the best in people. I doubt McCain will be flipping him the bird today!

You’re right, it was a Crass Comment.

You left out Classless, beneath contempt, baseless, and unworthy of this forum.

However, you were correct, Crass
