Aye, but here’s the rub. She strikes me as a hazard to the planet. One beholden to outdated ways of

Yes, she was misled, the nation was misled, but she shouldn’t have been. I wasn’t. Molly Ivins wasn’t.
Helen Thomas wasn't. Kucinich wasn’t. Mike Gravel wasn’t. Even those conservatives, Charley Reese,
Paul Craig Roberts, Jimmie Duncan and Ron Paul weren’t.
