Was she drunk, though? I differentiate between (what I assume was) an accident and a semi-
deliberate act (drinking and driving). I didn't hate TK, but I find the over-the-top praise in his eulogies to be as offensive as the whitewash
that accompanied Richard Nixon's death. Bottom line: my opinion is that he should be mourned but
not celebrated. He should be remembered for his contributions, but he is not deserving of lionization.
