Are
obituaries about First Ladies supposed to be political now? Nancy Reagan died
Sunday morning and Lois Romano couldn't wait to take a cheap shot.
This is
from The Washington Post obituary:
"Nancy Reagan had an undeniable knack for inviting controversy. There were her extravagant spending habits at a time of double-digit unemployment, achaotic relationship with her children and stepchildren that could rival a soap-opera plot, and the jaw-dropping news that she had insisted the White House abide by an astrologer when planning the president’s schedule."
The Post has edited the obituary. My guess is that a lot of readers
objected to taking a cheap shot against a 94 year old lady who left The White
House in 1989.
Just curious. Do you think that a future Lois Romano would ever write
that Michelle Obama traveled on vacation at a time of double digit unemployment
or deficit spending? One recent family getaway cost $
70 million!
Shame on Lois Romano. Why remind us that you did not vote for President
Reagan in Nancy Reagan's obituary?
