(14,784 posts)5. She was a moral monster in many ways, this is just one small tidbit of ugliness and selfishness.
She got a pass from a lot of people when she was First Lady and after because she was a little old white lady. I say f--- that.
She was a sociopath -- her position on drugs was privileged unjustifiable callous indifference, her behavior in re: HIV/AIDS was an abomination. As an anecdote of the same, look up Rock Hudson's death and the Reagan's refusal to help him get treatment -- on the grounds that they could not do special favors for friends from Hollywood, just about the only incident in which they withheld special treatment for their friends/colleagues and made this excuse.
