Or if there was something bad going on, it was investigated and fixed, swiftly, right? You know, we don't know why, exactly, she died. We don't know that she was driven to suicide by what she was forced to participate in. But we also don't know that she *wasn't* so driven. And we need to find out. But we won't, not while the country is ruled by Bushie and the Bootlickers. God damn, but the Democrats need to win big this year.

God damn, but the Democrats need to win big this year.

How utterly darkened are the souls of Bush and his gang of torturers compared to the shining soul of this young woman. She said no to 'professional duties' designed by evil men, ultimately chosing death of her body rather than destruction of her soul.
