RIP I always liked her.


Same, I enjoyed her back in the golden days of NPR. What a turd of a radio network now, but at one time it was excellent.

Did not think of Hillary

Vassar and Bryn Mawr had the classic well dressed one but they were kinda cool. Wellesley and Smith girls, they knew how to party.

You haven’t read one of her recent editorials on Don J Trump. She was not very civil towards him or his supporters.

NOLA was certainly aided by some deft politicians in acquiring the Saints franchise. The NFL's largest request of New Orleans, and Louisiana, was an indoor stadium, hence the Superdome, which was supposed to have been ready far earlier than 1975.

Like others have said, Hale Boggs was on the Warren Commission. Coincidentally, the federal courthouse that bears his name was built on the site where Guy Banister's office was, and where Oswald hung out during his Fair Play For Cuba days.

RIP Cokie but,

Carville's LSU commencement speech >> Cokie's

Murphy Brown >> Cokie Roberts

I don't share Roberts' political views, but I'd get a tattoo of her on my chest before I'd waste my piss putting out Carville's flaming corpse.

Why are people downvoting an article about the life of an esteemed journalist? Even George Will spoke highly of her.

Interesting NOLA connection but she was a liberal old lady
