Booze and drug addicts are liberals hero's.
Princess Diana was young and cute and a pain in the butt for the older folks who really ran things, thus the liberals love her. The fact that people who knew her called her a "loon" seldom gets mentioned.
Exactly the point I made to my wife when it all happened. I asked her what's the difference between Princess Di and some other divorced, boozy, drug-addicted mother who parks her kids with a less than reputable dad and then gets killed in a car wreck in South Dallas? Needless to say all I got was an icy glare.
"in a limo full of booze and drugs, heading for the next party"
Which is precisely what makes her katies idol.
