Wasn’t Patti estranged from her dad for an extended period of time?
How could she possibly know what she is asserting?
She estranged herself from him until literally shortly before he died in 2004. A cynical man might say it was so she could publish her book she had already written about him.
She was also a groupie , pothead, married a Yoga instructor , did nude shots with playboy, and had a degree in creative writing and drama.
In other words she was a founding mother of the RINO movement.
