I have been holding back from commenting on her. I have typed up
some stuff only to delete it. What I find disgusting is that we
are watching an emotional breakdown as though it is a sporting
event. What whacky thing will she say today? Clearly, she has
validity for her cause; she should say what she wishes. However,
at the same time, I think the manifestation of her grief should
not be getting so much air time. It is like watching a train wreck
happen in front of your eyes. Sad.
