I believe her father died while in Congress, in a small plane up in Alaska, when she was a young child. She basically grew up in the House and the Senate, it’s the only home she has ever known. So, to her, they are all family, and not to be disrespected.</p> <p>Now, why we’d ever want somebody like that pretending to be a journalist is another story altogether.</p> You have to understand Cokie’s history.

I remember talking to my daughter about her comments about NO, quite defensive or naive, maybe, when she was talking about what a “wonderful place to live”. (Her mother, of course, lives in the non-flooded French Quarter.) Like many places, NO is a wonderful place to live depending on where you live, who you are, what you need, such as public schools. I had forgotten how out of touch she sounded. Thanks. I did not know the WalMart connection or reaction. For whatever reason, I do think she sounds more out of touch than in earlier times…for whatever reason. I also see her less frequently, however.</p> I do remember some of seeing her about Katrina.
