&feature=relatedI was reminded of this when the Komen incident happened. I could imagine Julia Sugarbaker saying just this same thing to the Komen foundation.

(39,961 posts)I love her any way, even if she was a Republican, if she was an ardent supporter of my community. Interesting people aren't easily compartmentalized

(1,589 posts)if any net work would allow a script like this read on the air of any show these days ? Somehow, I seriously doubt it.
and I think the answer would be NO. We are having right-wing shoved down our throats.

(75,480 posts)Patrick and Lisbon interview three kids who had worked for the murder victim. It seems they had an alibi. They were arrested participating in the Occupy movement in I believe San Francisco so they were in jail when the murder happened. Not much else was said about that, but I thought it was interesting that the writers threw that in. They could have provided any number of other none political alibis for the characters.
When I worked as a bartender in the LA area years ago, many of my customers were writers in the TV and movie industry. All of them were liberals. I don't think that has changed much. I think they will sneak into the scripts whatever references they can to what is happening today.
Anyway, that is my hope.
Isn't she dead?
