I disagree with her politics and a lot of her Clinton era actions, but I really did feel genuinely bad for her when I saw that. She could be an inspiring story for those suffering from Parkinson's. I just wish she wasn't running against Jeb.

Parkinson's is a devastating disease. After awhile, the drugs just stop having any effect. My dad had it and it was the saddest thing in the world to watch his functions slowly disappear. It's hard to imagine that Janet Reno thinks she will be able to do the job of governor for 4 years. Also hard to imagine that her doctors are telling her that she will be capable of doing that. While Parkinson's doesn't attack the brain and a person's ability to understand, it definitely attacks a person's ability to communicate. I feel bad for her and that she has that affliction but she should probably come to grips with what the future holds. Did anyone else notice that picture of WSJ's Peale? If you look closely at his hands, he's trying to give them the finger. At least that's what I saw.
