Cokie Roberts Dies at Age 75

[Perknose]

Of complications from breast cancer.

"Cokie Roberts, the daughter of politicians who grew up to cover the family business in Washington for ABC News and NPR over several decades, died Tuesday in Washington of complications from breast cancer. She was 75.

ABC broke into network programming to announce her death and pay tribute.

Roberts was the daughter of Hale Boggs, a former House majority leader from Louisiana, and Lindy Boggs, who succeeded her husband in Congress. Roberts worked in radio and at CBS News and PBS before joining ABC News in 1988."

^^^ I always admired her intelligence and the calm, rational and deeply informative way she reported.

Current ABC News political reporter Jonathan Karl recalled being in awe of Roberts when he first started working at the network.

“When I think of politics, I think of Cokie Roberts,” he said.

RIP

Trump managed to comment that she was never very nice to him.

I really don't know much about Cokie Roberts, I've seen her on TV in the past, that's about it. But, two things: Michelle Malkin is awesome and cancer still sucks.

Usually when someone dies, you follow the rule your mom taught you: If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all.

What an absolutely shitty little person Malkin is. But hey, she's a good foot soldier for the cause.

Apparently this is her schtick.....attack those who have just passed away, kinda like raping someone after she's passed out. Completely classless, just like some of our conservatoads around here.

Great lady. RIP.

I remember her and her parents when I was growing up in New Orleans.
