she spent two and a half hours travelling to Bruni's reading - she works in Staten Island - but that she'd never waste her time reading his book. "What for?"

Liberalism in a nutshell.

By the way...

"She even figured out my e-mail address." -- John Dickerson

It's john_dickerson@timeinc.com. Anyone who bothered to spend 90 seconds on Google could have figured that out. His arrogant assumptions about the stupidity of his readers are almost as bad as Shimansky's nutty beliefs about the right controlling the news media.

She has worked for the state's Office of Mental Health for more than three decades

Says a lot.

Reba the Commie suck up. A government job!!!! Small wonder that she has so much time to constantly call talk radio defending her idol Bubba.....she has the most annoying voice (worse than Lynn Samuels, who adores her) she makes me cringe. I turn off the volumn when she's on.

She has lived her whole life in the apartment she was born in; she shared it with her parents until they died, and she still sleeps in a bed in the living room.

It's good to mourn...but at some point it's useful to throw out some of their stuff and move into the master bedroom.

Get the feeling that she would've brought the corpses breakfast in bed until the neighbors noticed the smell and called the cops?

and hopes to retire to the Upper West Side.

Retire to someplace more expensive than Brooklyn? Dearie, when you retire, you'll be on a fixed income. Check out Florida.

On the other hand, stay in a Blue State.

Probably lives with six cats.

The description of this woman and the way she lives pretty much tells it all.
Her letters aren't intellectual, but very emotional. Is that typical liberalism or what?
This article should be front page news around the country. It could use a good laugh once in awhile.
Clinton and the VRWC??? Hahhaha. Still suffering future shock in her mismatched outfits ?What a loon.

We could feed her all kinds of stories of a VRWC and really get her worked up. She'll be running through the streets screaming about how the world is going to end. She'd really go over the edge.
It could be fun.

I would really be emphatically against a Freeping of this woman. Her life seems sad enough as is, and to start harassing her would be beyond the pale. I didn't post the article in order to get Freepers to start bothering her; I just thought it was another example of how weird the far left can be. That's all.

Besides, she's just a citizen freeping the people that DO deserve it - the journalists - just like we do. She merely does it from an alternate universe.

To each their own.
Personally, she doesn't sound weak to me. She sounds like a radical liberal.
I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

FReeping with this woman would be like wrestling with a pig in the mud. After a while you figure out that the only thing you are getting is dirty and the pig is enjoying it!

"...I think the Democrats can be wimps. We don't have a Rush Limbaugh."

And they have DU idiots instead of FReepers. Pathetic, aren't they?

I think she should be mercilessly freeped and tormented. I think her and her ilk should either be interned or deported. But thats just me. I am a crual demented tyrant, who would rather intern abortion doctors, export anyone with any hint of Islamic radical connection, and force every citizen to under go firearms training....and blast any regime off the face of the planet that screws with a freemarket of oil, and/or the oppression of Western Judeo Christian Values...

Actually what these people hate most is being ignored. Harassing media types is what gives their lives meaning. If they react in any way other than bored indifference, she wins. What would be more fun would be to try to talk to her about sports or other manifestations of popular culture. After first admitting to being an eeeeeevil conservative, just start talking to her like she was an old-time acquaintance , and you wanted to know how things were going, blah,blah,blah. Now that would drive her over the edge. Or shut her up-----but I doubt that. She's just another lonely leftist lunatic who has found a reason to exist.
