WI Woman's Obituary: Remove Bush Please

[heidiho]

This is a hoot!

When Sally Baron's family wrote her obituary, they described a northern Wisconsin woman who raised six children and took care of her husband after he was crushed in a mining accident.

"My uncle asked if there was a cause," her youngest son, Pete Baron, said.

Almost in unison, what her children decided to include in the obituary was this: "Memorials in her honor can be made to any organization working for the removal of President Bush."

"She thought he was a liar," Baron's daughter, Maureen Bettilyon, said. "I think his personality, just standing there with that smirk on his face, and acting like he's this holy Christian, that's what really got her."

8. me, too!--and here's my note to the family:

Although I did not know Sally Baron, Lee Sensenbrenner's great article made me wish I had. Her life experiences, character, and political views reminded me a lot of my own mom, who died last year.

As Jean's brain tumor progressed and affected her mind, hospital staff would monitor her mental state by asking her to recall the current date, her birthday, who was president, etc.--the latter question always drawing quick and sharp responses, like "Bush, that phony!" or "That weasel Bush!" Amused staff invariably seemed to take this as positive proof of continuing sanity...Dear Sally and Jean, I hope you two are sharing a chuckle now about that!

Sincerest condolences and kindest regards,
Jerry Reich
