Yes, Miss Lillian said she wished she'd never had children....they made her ashamed. She fled into the peace corps for a few of her last years to get away from the whole nutty bunch.
I'd never heard that. If true my respect for her just raised a notch.
Maybe that is where she met Chrissy Mathews, I believe he was a speech writer for Carter. I cannot imagine Chris Mathews in a job interview with Jimmah, by the time Jimmah asked one question Chrissy would have spit the answers to all his questions out (making them up as he spit his way through)and would be back home waiting by the phone for Jimmah to phone with his decision.
