She always scorned Democrats and pumped up the Rethugs especially the Reagan and Bush Sr folk. I used to do a vignette where is make fun of her pronunciation of the word “Democrat”. Brought the house down! Lol

On edit: I found her to be pretty snotty at times

She was a huge Bush partisan during the Bushco years.

She's the biggest reason I quit giving money to NPR.

Not gonna pretend I'm sorry she's gone.
