It's one of the reasons I blow off a lot of what CK (as in FUBO, if you catch my drift) has to say.
Cheers!
I liked and mostly respected her.
She died of blood cancer here in Boston at Mass General Hospital.
I’m sorry for your loss. 94 years of life is a gift of God. But you’re right, time doesn’t take away the hurt and the loss.
The most memorable thing for me about Mondale was when Reagan teased him in the debate about being too young to run for President.
Great moment, IMO!
And prayers up for her family.
just read that Westboro lot are planning to picket her funeral, wish someone would wipe this lot off the face off the planet.
A noble and worthy political opponent. I always shall think of her as an American first, liberal second.
Wow, I have never heard of blood cancer.
Sad news, I didn’t agree with her politics but she was a lady and a good human being. She’s been fighting this for years, may she rest in peace.
Just said that exact same thing to my husband. She wasn’t nasty.
She was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in 1998
Sorry to hear of this. We just saw it on Fox News.
Prayers up for her family and friends.
I well understand the desire not to speak ill of the dead, but we don't have to go on and on about much we liked her, etc.... She was a political opponent who favored much of the destruction that has taken place in this country. She was a far left liberal who was often haughty and arrogant during the 1984 campaign, especially in the debate with George Bush the elder.
I would never have wished suffering on her and believe she bore it well. All our condolences are with the family of anyone who takes a loss. Her battle has been fought and we wish her well and Godspeed. But remember also, that many of those battles were with us. She was no friend to our beliefs at all. Rest in peace, Ms. Ferraro.
I picketed her many years ago when she did the Pepsi Choice commercial.We were outside OF Pepsi but she was not there.
Palin's tweet was the first I saw of this news.
I've already seen a number of Lefties complaining the press are comparing Ferraro to Palin and not Hillary, ignoring Hillary wasn't even considered for VP let alone chosen. While Hillary achieved a lot in her own campaign, nearly saving us from Obama, she came up short of being a nominee.
I enjoyed Ferraro on Crossfire. She seemed like a principled Liberal, a breed that is all but extinct among Democrats today.
She was not feeling well and could not make it to a stuido. Could have been an interview by Greta during the last elections.
Sure you have. The most common form is called Leukemia.
There are several others though. I have three family members suffering from different, rare forms of it now.
