What did her parents do?
Mary Martha Corinne Morrison Claiborne Boggs was born on December 27, 1943 in New Orleans, Louisiana.
She received the sobriquet “Cokie” from her brother Tommy, who could not pronounce “Corinne”.
Cokie Roberts is the fourth child and youngest daughter of former ambassador and long-time Democratic Congresswoman from Louisiana Lindy Boggs and of the late Hale Boggs, also a Democratic Congressman from Louisiana who was Majority Leader of the House of Representatives.
Her sister, the late Barbara Boggs Sigmund, was mayor of Princeton, New Jersey and a candidate for U.S. Senate from New Jersey.
Her brother Tommy Boggs is a prominent Washington, D.C. attorney and lobbyist.

She was also with NPR for 10 years and her husband is teaching at GW Univ.
In short, she has been feeding at the liberal Beltway trough for pretty much her entire career. She appears so steeped in liberal stew that it would be impossible to rid the smell of it from within a 50 yard radius of her carbon footprint.
