i am so sorry if this offends anyone, but mary mapes reminds me way too much of a bitter lesbian feminist kind of person.
I know about bitter lesbian feminist kind of people because my sister is one of them. They all have the same isues and are bitter way before their time. Everyone is always against them or trying to stop them from telling the 'truth' or some such thing, and if you disagree with them or send them any information that does not fit into their agendas, they block you from their email in order to keep from having to read anything they don;t agree with.
My sister is a very intelligent person. Also very unhappy and willing to lie to make a point. Perhaps it IS genetic.
I sent a nice card when she and her partner went to canada to get married - it will make Thanksgiving more pleasant for all of us and only cost 37 cents.
Her actions would remind anyone of a bitter old lesbian. I think she is more of a Reublican-hating hack. Anyway, evidently she does have a husband and a son. (Which is more than DOWD has - HAHA!)
