Millicent Kondracke RIP

Hold to your stated purpose, Mort. It’s the only meaningful thing any of us can do.

Mort’s been my favorite TV pundit for a couple of years now, and not just because I usually agree with him; he’s an honest broker in a world of partisan hacks.

The way that he handled his wife’s illness sets a brilliant example.

Don’t know Mort but my condolences to him, he does always seem humble and gracious on Brit Hume and the Beltway Boys. Hume’s show is the only news I’ll watch if I’m home at 6.

On a related note you should read Tuesdays with Morrie as well.

Finally, Michelle what the heck are you doing on the Atkins Diet?
Its for people whose insuline and weight is way out of wack.
Read the Zone.
Regards,

Mike

PS There’s also another story just remembered about the surgeon who was slowly dying and kept operating and saving lives up until the last day. I believe he was the best brain surgeon in the country and only one who could do very risky operations.

What a shining example of manhood! Too often manliness is portrayed as slamming pitchers of beer and looking at juggies. What Mort endured for the love of his wife is the real deal.

Something none of us should face, but if we do Mort has provided us with one righteous example.

While I am not always in agreement with Mort’s comments on Brit’s show (most often I am in agreement with Fred) I believe him to be an honest broker.

You and your wife are in my Prayers, Mort.

Mort Kondracke has always impressed me as a humble, personable man. He routinely took time out to participate in my high school’s annual Washington Seminar and speak to the kids about his life as a Beltway pundit. His dedication to his wife is simply of a piece with the generous, patient person that he has always seemed.

My most sincere condolences.
