Insofar as I thought about it all, I never thought anything other than that she killed herself. And generally I hate and avoid all tabloid-type threads. But you know what? It's an Internet board. Let people speculate. It is not inherently embarrassing to anyone. It is certainly not embarrassing to anyone who doesn't speculate, or to "DU in general."
You want to know what's embarrassing to DU?
Doublethink and double standards that rightly condemn Republican actions but justify the same actions by Democrats.
Those here who call themselves liberals but join the assault on earned benefits.
People in denial about the fundamental, widespread class-based criminality that runs this economy, above all in the financial sector. People who find excuses for Geithner and Holder catering to this criminal class of bankers.
People who should be leading on exposure of election fraud or deep state criminality, but who instead push denial.
People who push an essentially Republican program in Democratic guise. People who support wars and military buildups. Third Way and neoliberal programming.
That's embarrassing.
Some minor speculation for a few days about a nurse's suicide in the UK, not so much.
