CNN pokes fun at Janet Reno with Parkinsons
singing at a fundraiser. With a husband suffering from disease can't believe the insensitivity. Go Janet! Yay for you getting on stage!

Fuck CNN... emailed them.

6. I don't think they were making fun of her disease
You don't see the humor in an ex-Atty Gen. on stage trying to sing?

8. they don't even know she has Parkinsons
asswipes...good for her driving her RV all over the country...she's living her life.

Am certain she could give a rat's ass about cnn...but I'm offended as see the struggle every day.

9. We live in an ugly and disgusting world these days.
I'd love to see Wonkette work at a nursing home and try her hand taking care of some Parkinson's patients. She might break a nail, though.

13. That would be Wonker, then, wouldn't it?
I hope she wouldn't have said anything like that.

What, it's not Joel Stein covering for her is it?
