I just have to distance myself from my other posts hoping, in vain, that her comments were the result of her battles with cancer and chemotherapy. But she said similar things about Jessie Jackson.

This is not good, and there's no way to defend it. Wow. This has been a really shocking day.

5. It takes a big person to admit they were mistaken. Right now you're a big person.

It's often hard to accept something terrible about someone held in great esteem until more facts come out that just slap you in the face.
