Linda Tripp is dead.

[Drunken Irishman]

That's it. That's the message.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

1. COVID-19?

Or just an accumulation of karma?

[Drunken Irishman]

2. Maybe COVID was her karma.

[Mike 03]

3. I'm seeing pancreatic cancer.

Diagnosed "less than a week ago" according to the UK Daily Mail.

EXCLUSIVE: Linda Tripp, the Clinton sex scandal whistleblower who secretly recorded private phone calls with Monica Lewinksy, dies at age 70 'after being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer less than a week ago'

[hlthe2b]

5. Detested her, but that said, pancreatic cancer is a horrific way to die.

So, I'll just say nothing more.

[Mike 03]

7. I lost someone to pancreatic cancer but it was almost a year from diagnosis

to death. Only a week between diagnosis and death here. I agree, it's a terrible, awful way to go.

[LisaM]

10. I knew someone who was gone in four weeks from diagnosis.

It was terrible.

[PJMcK]

27. Karma

That is all.

[stopbush]

35. Oh, please. Everybody dies.

She was 71.

[PJMcK]

37. Oh, please. I'm glad she's gone.

Considering her role in President Clinton's bogus impeachment...

Ah, never mind.

[stopbush]

48. I'm glad she's gone, but karma is bullshit.

Especially when it comes to people dying in old age.

[maxrandb]

65. Before Donnie Shit for Brains, I used to have empathy

Even for right wing nut jobs.

Now, I hope Rush Limbaugh dies after 50 years of shitting in his pants.

[enid602]

32. Linda

I heard she choked on a ham sandwich.

[PatrickforO]

6. You know, I can remember far away in the way back when.

I remember that a member of Clinton's administration committed suicide and his note lamented how Washington DC had become a place where people had their entire lives destroyed by innuendo just for kicks.

I remember how utterly, horribly mortified and humiliated Monica Lewinski must have been when this dirt bag chose to have her proverbial fifteen minutes of fame at Lewinski's and Clinton's expense.

And yet...I extend the same wishes to the dirt-bag Tripp as I would to anyone else: May she have eternal rest, be enfolded in the love of the divine, and be able, in love, to learn those things she did not learn on this earth.

[malaise]

54. The only thing death guarantees is eternal rest

Life is over

[pandr32]

8. She'll always be remembered for being an a-hole

She was nothing more than a traitor who attempted to topple a president. I wonder what she got out of her service to the other traitors who signed her up.

[scrabblequeen40]

13. as I recall, it was a nose job and post-impeachment employment

sponsored by a GOP donor.

If you're going to betray a friendship, that's a low ROI

[CatWoman]

23. I'll never forget John Goodman's portrayal of her on SNL

[pandr32]

24. You've got that right

But then, she was a right winger.

[klook]

15. "I would have cleaned toilets with my tongue to work at the White House"

-- Linda Tripp, quoted by ABC News.

Who knows? Maybe she took the coronavirus toilet challenge.

[pandr32]

25. Wow--she really was as low as they go.

[ismnotwasm]

9. Pancreatic cancer sucks.

Rip

[BigDemVoter]

11. Whatever it was. . .

She was always one giant asshole . . . .

[Tommy_Carcetti]

12. Heh. nt

[Buckeyeblue]

14. That ninja Hillary Clinton strikes again!

[Dem4Life1102]

16. My condolences to

John Goodman.

[irisblue]

26. kpete, I am so so sorry

[Hekate]

29. My condolences, kpete

Speaking from sad experience, it's hard to lose a parent, regardless of your relationship with them.

Be at peace.

[Sophiegirl]

31. So very sorry kpete. nt

[PJMcK]

34. Hey, kpete

I'm sorry to hear of your loss. The world becomes a different place when we lose our parents.

Peace.

[klook]

38. Very sorry to hear this, kpete.

My mom died last year, and my father a few years earlier. I still see and hear them both so clearly in my mind, at various ages and in all kinds of situations, good and bad. I don't believe in an afterlife, but I am comforted that they have become, in Kurt Vonnegut's phrase, "unstuck in time" in a way, and that they continue to exist in the hearts and minds of those who knew them.

I wish you peace and comfort. Give yourself time.

[question everything]

39. My condolences kpete

Not best dad, but hope for some happy memories

It’s hard when both of our parents die.

[Greybnk48]

59. Sorry about your Dad kpete.

I've been an orphan for a while and I know, it sucks. Stay strong.

[KitSileya]

[ProfessorGAC]

Like it's not stressful enough. Take care!

18. Linda Tripp is dead at age 70

Link to tweet

[StevieM]

63. It is disgusting that she is represented as a whistle blower.

She wasn't. She was the one who illegally taped Monica Lewinsky and then gave her name to the Jones lawyers. Then she went to Ken Starr before anyone had even testified.

Linda Tripp's goal was to set up Bill Clinton's impeachment. The was also the goal of Ken Starr and the Jones lawyers.

Today we can see that what was called a vast right-wing conspiracy at the time was actually the beginning stages of a fascist movement.

[Blue Owl]

22. (gestures emptily)

n/t

[LakeArenal]

28. Cause of death awful.

As a human being.... awful.

[Jamastiene]

30. Did the message begin with Ding Dong?

I could not resist.

[Glorfindel]

42. My first thought, too.

Thanks for saying it, Jamastiene!

[Behind the Aegis]

47. Oh, you!

appropriate virtual socially distanced

[Jamastiene]

51. Tehehe

Virtual, safe

[Historic NY]

33. Whistleblower....

she made secret recordings w/o the knowledge and consent of the party.

[dem4decades]

36. Screw her.

[donkeypoofed]

52. Died without any friends

Buh-bye.

[Aquaria]

53. I am reading this obituary

With great pleasure.

[KatyMan]

55. What was the Dorothy Parker quote?

Only say good things about the dead. Linda Tripp is dead. Good.

[KitSileya]

58. I don't wish pancreatic cancer on anyone

Not even my worst enemy. My sister succumbed to it in early March, 2 years and nine months after diagnosis, and, yeah, no one deserves that regardless of what they have done in their lives. I hope her family find the healing and support they need in their time of loss.

[PlanetBev]

61. From a historical perspective

Linda Tripp was a holdover from the Bush 43 administration. Whenever a new administration takes over, they need to clean house and make sure there are no loyalists left over. Hopefully the lesson has been learned.

Sounds Machiavellian, I know, but you gotta burn down the village.

[kskiska]

64. Quote from the Daily Mail article:

"At the time, Donald Trump, then freshly divorced from Marla Maples, described Tripp as 'evil personified.' "

Let's see what he says now.

[SuprstitionAintthWay]

66. Okay.
