    Anatomy of a debacle: Wellstone memorial doomed from the start

    The Oct. 29 service held for Sen. Paul Wellstone after he was killed in a plane crash turned into a raucous political pep rally that turned off many voters. Some analysts say it not only led to the defeat of Wellstone stand-in Walter Mondale but also may have contributed to the Democrats' setbacks nationally.

    In studying the anatomy of a debacle, many critics have focused on the blunt-edged speech of Wellstone's close friend Rick Kahn. But the event was designed from the start to be boisterous and, yes, political.

    Resident of D.C. They are saying she died due to complications of pancreatic cancer.


    So they were giving her pain killers. Don't know if she could talk or see at the time of her death.

    It would go against what she said previously about Justice appointments in an election year so if true, would make her a liar.
    When Donald Trump said to protest “peacefully”, he meant violence.

    When he told protesters to “go home”, he meant stay for an insurrection.

    And when he told Brad Raffensperger to implement “whatever the correct legal remedy is”, he meant fraud.

    War is peace.

    Freedom is slavery.

    Ignorance is strength.

    "Senators refusing to vote on President Obama's nominee to the Supreme Court should recognize that a president is elected for four years not three,"

    So far only the NPR Judicial reporter and friend of Ginsberg has said that Ginsberg had this wish. No other confirmation.

    I seriously doubt Ms Ginsburg's quote;

    “My most fervent wish is that I will not be replaced until a new president is installed”

    were her last words. Pancreatic cancer is highly painful and she most likely wouldn't be cognitive enough to think such. Her last words were more likely to words to her family thinking as a mother grandmother and great grandmother.

    Well, NPR is about as unbiased as the Democratic Underground.
