Deborah Orin- dead?

[peaches2003]

Anybody read Deborah Orin, columnist, in the NY Post? I just saw on one rw site that she has been reported dead. If so, the world is just a little bit better today. Hate to say that- it isn't like me- but she is/was a really nasty obnoxious mean bitch.

1. Yes

It is posted by the current occupier of the White House.

6. Chimp and Laura saddened

Well, I guess that pretty much proves my point about what a mean bitch she was.

[pk_du]

2. Computer says "yes"

Acording to Whitehouse.gov ...prezel boy is saddened....sounds like good news to me.

3. I Hated Orrin's Politics, But I Salute Anyone Who's Fought Or Is Fighting Cancer...

RIP Deborah...

32. That's what they want us to think, anyway. It is, after all, The Post. n/t

[bagimin]

7. That explains her absence from the tweety show

trying to justify Bush's murderous war.

[Skidmore]

8. Wolfie used to have her on a lot.

So did Tweety. My hubby was wondering where she was the other day. A sighting of Kate O'Bierne prompted his question.

Wow! We all get our bluffs with the universe called at some time.

[FrenchieCat]

9. I'll pray for her to enjoy where she is.......

She really was mean and nasty.....

But hey, God loves all of his children, so she's lucky!

[brentspeak]

10. My condolences to her family

I don't see the point of practically rejoicing at her death.

[AlCzervik]

11. i read a blog that said she had stomach cancer, my father in law died

from that on his second bout, not a very pleasant way to go. Rip Ms. Orin.

13. Alas..the Rightwinged Chickenhawk has shed another feather

[tritsofme]

14. There are some rather disgusting comments on this thread.

I guess some people's parents never taught them not to speak ill of the dead.

[auntAgonist]

15. condolences to her family ... the hatred on this thread

is disgusting. How will you all react if and when one of 'ours' passes away. Cancer is horrible, it's painful and it kills.

16. and the reich Wingers arent guilty of disfunding medical research to make bombs and feed Haliburton

no bid contracts..???

[auntAgonist]

21. I repeat. the hatred expressed in this thread

is uncalled for, embarrassing and shameful.

condolences to her family and friends.

23. BRAVO! Post it again in the main line.

[madaboutharry]

18. I agree with you auntAgonist

I sometimes find the things said here shameful and embarrasing. If we as liberals believe we are entitled to think and speak what we believe than so are those how disagree with us. A person has died and those who loved that person are bereaved. We need to show more respect.

[xultar]

22. BRAVO! You are correct. Sometimes I'm embarrassed of DU.

[Guaranteed]

17. Why does a famous person's death routinely trigger this reaction in people

that it is time to pass judgment on them?

[xultar]

20. Your post is petty and sad. To bad you can't understand dissing someone in death

especially someone who struggled with cancer or AIDS is a pretty mean thing to do.

RIP Deborah.

[Disturbed]

27. How long should one wait after a person has died

to voice one's opinion of them if that opinion is a negative one?

[xultar]

28. I'd say after they are buried or cremated.

[LeftyMom]

25. Well, now we all know what FR's Molly Ivins thread will look like.

Some of you ought to be ashamed. You don't have to pretend to miss somebody, but it's no excuse for being an ass.

[xultar]

26. ZING!!! BANG!!!! BOOM!!!! Exactly.

[auntAgonist]

31. thank you , you beat me to it.

29. Show a little class

[kentuck]

33. It's not about who they are - it's about who we are...

When a person is dead, they are gone. There is no need to stab them in the back one more time.

[xultar]

41. DAYUM straight.

[dsc]

34. There are few things worse in life than exhibiting the worst qualities of ones enemy

sadly all too many in this thread have done exactly that. I am no fan of Ms. Orin but no way should we be rejoicing in her death.

[xultar]

40. Bravo dsc.

[dsc]

42. There is a reason that one has to chose their enemies carefully

and thanks for the compliment.

Proposal would cut cancer institute budget again

By Liz Szabo, USA TODAY

Leading cancer experts say key research could come to a halt because of proposed spending cuts to the National Cancer Institute.

President Bush has proposed cutting the institute's budget for the second consecutive year. The cuts would reduce the NCI's 2007 budget by almost 1%, or $36 million, to just over $4.7 billion. Although NCI director John Niederhuber notes that the institute's final budget has not been set, he's concerned that Congress could shrink his budget by 5% to 10%.

During a visit recently to the National Institutes of Health, Bush said NCI funding is still relatively high and has doubled in the past decade. Bush also noted an American Cancer Society report showing that the number of cancer deaths dropped for the second year in a row, falling by 3,014 from 2003 to 2004.

"We're proud of the significant investment that we have made in cancer research," White House spokesman Tony Fratto says. "We're also proud of the results showing that researchers are delivering on that investment."

52. Great place for this post.

:thumbsup:

[The Straight Story]

36. I heard MLK say the same type of thing many times when someone died

not.

[qanda]

37. Don't know who she is

But this is such a mean post. I'm so sorry that a few people on DU have chosen to stoop to such a low level. May she RIP.

[tularetom]

38. Anybody here remember the death of Paul Wellstone?

The rejoicing on hate radio and even in some parts of the MSM was overt, extended, and far more offensive than anything I've read in this thread. Not being a watcher of the tweety show, I'm not familiar with Ms Orin, but I imagine she has family who will miss her and I'm sympathetic to them. But I would be a bigger hypocrite than holy Joe Loserman if I said that the world was any worse off due to the loss of one wingnut journalist.

I'm not glad she's dead. But I won't miss her. I don't even know who the fuck she was.

[xultar]

39. Hey if we are only trying to be just a little better than hate radio then why even exist?

[LeftyMom]

43. You know what your Mama said about when you don't have anything nice to say?

It applies when people we don't care for die. Except the grown-up version is "Our thoughts are with her family at this time."

45. Obituary from the NY Post

Remember one of our own, Molly Ivins is battling cancer - sorry to see some on DU act like Freepers.

http://www.nypost.com/seven/01282007/news/regionalnews/post_bureau_chief_deborah_orin_dies_regionalnews_cynthia_r_fagen.htm

Deborah Orin-Eilbeck, The Post's longtime D.C. bureau chief whose passion for politics and unrivaled integrity kept Washington on its toes, died yesterday after a battle with cancer.

"Laura and I were saddened to learn of the death of Deborah Orin-Eilbeck," President Bush said.

"Deb had a distinguished, decades-long career as a journalist, covering every presidential campaign since 1980 and joining the New York Post's Washington bureau in 1988.

"Deb fought a valiant battle against cancer with the same tenacity, devotion, and determination that she brought to her work in the White House briefing room through numerous administrations," the president said. "She'll be missed by all of us at the White House who cared deeply for her."

Post Editor-in-Chief Col Allan said, "Deborah was one of the nation's finest political reporters. She was never part of press group-think that so often rules Washington.

46. Mentioned in DU's Top 10 Conservative Idiots (Nov-19-06 )

#6 The Media

Incidentally, the media didn't seem particularly interested in the return of Boner, Blunt, and the Mississippi Hair Helmet, preferring instead to obsess over "divisions" within the Democratic party like they'd never seen a leadership contest before. Oh my god! They voted! And they didn't all agree on who the new House Majority Leader should be! This is the end of the Democratic party, I tells ya.

Apparently the media have forgotten that Democrats like to hash things out and debate issues, and the pundits seem stunned that the Dems aren't marching in lockstep like the Republicans have done for the past six years. By selecting Nancy Pelosi as the first ever female Speaker of the House, Democrats gave Republican commentators everywhere an opportunity to demonstrate their feelings about strong women. Here's Mort Kondracke:

Well, so, the history on House leadership is, we had the "Hammer" - Tom DeLay - and now, we have the "Wicked Witch of the West," you know, Nancy Pelosi...

Not ugly enough for you? Perhaps you prefer New York Post Washington bureau chief Deborah Orin-Eilbeck's take:

Forget 'The Devil Wears Prada' - the hot show in Washington is 'The Shrew Adores Armani.' In just a few short days, House Speaker-to-be Nancy Pelosi has turned into a caricature of the shrill, petty woman boss.

Hmm. Methinks there might be just a little bit of sore-loserdom creeping in here.

50. I never celebrate anyone's death...

no matter what they did in life, someone loved them and they feel that loss.

[merh]

51. May she rest in peace.

and may God forgive the folks in this thread for their nasty, vile comments. To all reading this please note, they do not speak for all of DU and this DUer is ashamed that they have posted their hateful comments.

53. this is an embarrassing post, worthy of some freepers, but not of us.
