This is a significant loss, but I've never been under the impression that Roberts was a Republican. Her father, Hale Boggs, was the Democrat House Majority Leader, and her mother was also a Democrat Congresswoman as well as the Chairwoman of the DNC. I felt she was likable in part because she retained her "southern lady" charm and politeness. |

"I never met her. She never treated me nicely. But I would like to wish her family well. She was a professional, and I respect professionals."
Any guess who tweeted that? Who could make someone else's death about them?

That's actually a restrained response considering the source.
Meanwhile, some idiot named Michelle Malkin took a figurative shit all over Roberts. It's just what I've come to expect from people like her so it wasn't a surprise really. |

And speaking of TV journalists, another one, Sander Vanocur, passed away the day before Cokie's death. Sander was 91.
