Remember when Chuck Knoblauch hit her with an errant throw over the dugout?

Now, BACK ON TOPIC:

It's always sad when someone loses anyone, and it's particularly sad to see someone have to grieve whilst in the public eye. I'm not a huge fan of Keith Olbermann, but that doesn't matter much. I wish him and his family the very best.

Yeah, condolences to Mr. Olbermann and his family.

As a point of Karma, it'd be amusing if she were reincarnated as a grandchild of GW Bush.

Its not civil... its the appearance of being civil. If anyone really cared then they would write a letter and mail it to the family and if you had the money maybe even send a gift or something. It takes no effort to write the BS I see here.

These expressions of sorrow between taking a sip of pepsi and your next game of bejeweled is a crock. Its all a bunch of pointless blather.

said the same thing when say, Tony Snow or Tim Russert died.

I think I made it pretty obvious that I don't blather sorrow over random people so I don't know what your point is.
