    She just singlehandedly improved my impression of the word "socialite." Apparently they're not all bad.

    CNN actually did a story on her a few weeks ago before Obama even mentioned her, because she was voting early and they cover the whole "all she's seen" angle. I wonder if the Obama camp found her through that. I'm gonna look for a link.

    She's amazing -- I loved that President-elect Obama framed his overview of the last century against her story. Governor Patterson gave a similar chronology in his speech and while it was effective, it was much less moving.


    I have a secret fear of living much past 47 (it's my scary age) but if I could live as long, as well and see as much as she has, I'd consider it.
