We are all pulling hard for you and will definitely kick the crap out of any skanky politician or journalist who knows only how to smeer, not debate your husband in this critical upcoming election. Please get the R and R you need whenever you need it because your immune system benefits from that. I know we are all shing a shite spiritual light through all the treatment and recovery and the same to all on this blog facing health crises.</p> Elizabeth, I wish you didn’t have to fight the dragon in public but I know you have freely chosen to do so.

Dear Kathleen,

I can’t believe the Tribune pays you to write such drivel. You’d think
they could hire a 16 year old for minimum wage to randomly punch a
keyboard and spend the rest of your salary on the Cubs. At least then
it would be well spent.
