I really don't think DL earned this hit. She was relatively fine at the start of the year. You could say that was a "stroke of luck".
 

Anyway, there's always a fluke hit, and a hit's still a hit etc. etc.

fluke? I had her on my twisted pool as name #4 back in October... it was known in Massachusetts she was on her way out. Unless you're joking?

At 96 most people are "on their way out". But she was still attending events at the start of the year. She certainly wasn't in my top 100.

She was actually very very frail in those wedding pictures and had not publicly appeared in years. Not that unexpected, I'd say.

She hadn't released a statement to tell her son to shut up in like 3 years. The start of the year photos wound up being old posts, and if you look at the July wedding photos, she's just propped in a wheelchair. She was a sure thing to me and many other Massholes, and it wasn't just age.

Is Masshole the official demonym?

I literally had her move to Twisted Dead Pool on my main list yesterday so that's very lucky for me.

RFK Jr just endorsed Trump. Will it matter in November? - BBC News

 

Her sons endorsement for a convicted briber and sociopathic pervert might finish her off by then.

Or I'm just a pretentious Marxist who's brainwashed by the deep state and the fake news media. You decide.

And the wedding took place on a family compound that she lives on. She really didn't even go out in public for it.

Sad news. 

My long standing cheerleading for Ethel Kennedy as a deadpoolers pick and  for the Official DeathList has now paid off and at a time when a new'hit'  and addition to the grand tally was really needed.

Fellow masshole her. I can attest that my ddp team is full of obscure Massachusetts/Boston figures I keep picking for unique hits.

Nice, a lot of the mafia affiliates, and you appropriately named the list Masshole. A couple years ago, I had a Winter Hill member strike up a conversation with me at a yard sale in that neighborhood and show me his tattoo afterward, as if I would approve. I don't know which guy it was, probably a henchman, just too "young" to be a big shot.

Oh, it’s not just other people from Massachusetts that call you all that. The rest of the U.S. does too.

I thought she was a good pick for this year, but of course I'd say that because she was on my top 50 list, becoming my 19th hit.  RIP.

I'd take that as a more ominous sign.

Why thank you. Hope a charming man like you isn't the one I'll be irritating.

Obscure pun, but I like it...
