Stories concerning her documented lack of kindness, charity, and sensitivity toward the poor and ill have circulated for years. Another 'saint' with feet of clay. There truly are saints out there but this woman is not among them.

How sad that the dictators and pure evil "world leaders" could always count on her for legitimizing the poor and dying they created.
She never spoke out against tyranny (unless you consider birth-control or abortion, tyranny.

It seems she was a well paid shill for those evil people seeking legitimacy. Very well paid. How sad.

Either she's up in heaven, flipping him the bird/forgiving him his trespasses, or he's in hell, flipping her the bird/pleading with her to send the elevator down for him... or they're both playing the circle of life game, pushing up daisies and feeding the worms.

Ya can't take it with you, at any event. Where they are now they don't need money, fame, or any sort of 'image' or anything on those lines.
