Oh, what dear heart that woman was! America was so proud of her! (and yes, that includes me.)

The sad, sad, irony of seeing one of the world's best lose her health like this. And the worst irony of all is the once presidential 'health expert' (under W. Bush) doesn't even have health insurance.

That part is unforgiveable!!
