[Alamo]

Pancreatic cancer apparently

I, well, I'd best just not speak ill of the dead.

Wow man that's heavy...















As 10 boxes you might be moving.

Ten whole boxes? The deuce you say!

I will.
It's about damned time!

I'll beat @KellyinAvon to it and paraphrase Moms Mabley.
"They say you shouldn't say nothin' about the dead unless it's good. She's dead. Good."

Ok.

 

[Expat]

I would guess someone liked her somewhere.

Each person brings joy to the world; some

I'm not sad she's gone, but I don't wish pancreatic cancer on anyone.

 

[Bugzilla]

Only way to get them out of office.

 

[tomcat13]

Won't stop her from Voting Democrat in the Next Election!

I believe Rush once referred to her as a "glittering jewel of colossal ignorance." She did want the Mars rover to go take a picture of the flag left by the astronauts. And she was on the House Science Committee.

I can't imagine the voters from that district sending an upgrade to DC.

Was a Municipal Judge in Houston 87-90, then on Houston City Council until she got to the US House in 94. Got her JD in 1975... must not have done much for 13 years before becoming a judge.

Municipal Judge... probably had some Center Township Denise Hatch-type Constable.

Came to the House when Newt and the Republicans had the Contract with America. Tells you a lot about the Texas 18th.

Per Wiki: went through 11 Chiefs of Staff in 11 years. Continental Airlines recommended she fly on a competitor.

This doesnt surprise me in the least.
She always seemed to me to have personality of a can of nightcrawlers, and the disposition of a crocodile.
