This is the crap that makes me crazy about the press!
Would folks in the press want their own 90-year old mothers to be hounded like this? I’m sure they would not! But they don’t mind doing it to someone else’s mother.
She’s not Rose Kennedy, spotlight savvy and ready to smile for the cameras! She’s just a lady who raised a son! Leave her the hell alone!
People’s families should be off-limits. And once again, the press should remember that their own families are never put through this just because they, in the press, are famous. In fact the families of the members of the Fourth Estate are quite sensibly left alone.
Have some common decency and leave the children, parents and siblings of public servants ALONE, fer cryin’ out loud!
My brother Thom points out that Mama Alito seened okay with talking to the press until her son asked her not to. I contend that MOST folks are okay with talking to one or two members of the press – not hoards. When you’re talking to hoards, you’re bound to get tripped up.
