last words. I kid you not...

"Any of those fucking assholes who voted for McCain deserve what they get."

I laughed my ass off. My Mom hardly ever swore and she leaned republican. Baby bush, put her solidly in the D camp.

She was the first one I heard say that Bush was lying about Iraq. I remember her silence when I said "but Ma, our president would not lie about something so grievous." It was during that silence I realized she was right. She instinctively knew what I was thinking and said..."I know, I know."

She was gone a few weeks later and never got to see him sworn in. My God she would have enjoyed that.
