I pray that she repented of her pro-death activism before her death.

Eleanor Mondale died? At 51, three years back? Surprised I didn't hear about it at the time.

They used to call her mother "Joan of Art" because that was the cause or platform Joan adopted.

I guess as causes go it's not the worst, but as for every First or Second Lady having to have some cause or other -- I don't know about that.

Yeah, They thought Eleanor had the brain cancer on the run, but it came back. She was a local medai type and was very good at it.

Surprisingly, her Wikipedia article has about the time she visited Clinton in the White House and Monica was kept waiting, then flew into a rage when she learned about Eleanor. Would have thought that would be the kind of detail Wikipedia would prefer to have swept under the rug.

Pro-abortion. Nothing to mourn here.

Well, “the arts” is much better than Chewbecca’s jihhad against sugar and “transfats”.

Sad times for Walter in his twilight years.

RIP.
