Forget Gerald, Betty is where it’s at
January 8th, 2007
Did anyone see the piece about Betty Ford on 60 Minutes Sunday night? I didn’t realize she was such a badass. Besides founding her infamous clinic, she was a leader in the push for the Equal Rights Amendment, outspoken on abortion rights, and frank with the media on everything from battling breast cancer to sleeping in the same bedroom as her husband (pause a moment to imagine a time when mentioning either of these topics was taboo). Betty, had I been old enough to have a clue in the seventies, I woulda had your back.
