Dahlings, all the food I like will kill me, my favorite past times are "unhealthy," my point of view is ascerbic and my tongue is sharp. 

I prefer life viewed through the dimmed focus of a martini and a friend with an evil, but witty mind, and choose not to know if my mind has begun to wander at this stage of the game, my dears.

Rush Limbaugh Calls Sonia Sotomayor a ‘Hack’ and ‘Reverse Racist’

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA…(gulp)…Ahahahahahahaha.  Ah, Rush, dahling, you DO make Mommy laugh. 

Dahlings, reading this thread makes Mommy a strange combination of angry and sad.

Mostly sad, my dears.

DeBurca, dahling, Georgio is too heavy.  Makes No. 5 smell like eau de toilette.

Believe me, dahling, if you stand in an elevator with a woman who is wearing it, you’ll KNOW.

My dear, even Robert McNamara conceded  "I don’t want to put the responsibility for Vietnam on his (Johnson’s) shoulders alone, but I do — I am inclined to believe that if Kennedy had lived, he would have made a difference. I don’t think we would have had 500,000 men there."

Again, I supported the troops and agree that we many have needlessly lost 500,000 men there.  McNamara was not, as I recall, a liberal, my dear.

Dahlings, this old broad has said, from the Korean War to the present, that she supports the troops - but not the war. 

Rest in peace, brave dears.

My dears, Liz Smith and I, ladies of a certain age, will be napping - on opposite coasts.  Please, dahlings, don’t shake Mommy with any more earthquakes!

Bette?  Bette Davis?  Is that YOU, dahling?

My sentiments exactly, Jeannot, my dear. 

This hit much to close to home for me, too, dahling.
