RIP Stephanie Tubbs Jones

Stephanie Tubb Jones

I didn’t want to write anything about this earlier because there was so much confusion regarding her condition, but I’m sad to report that Stephanie Tubbs Jones has passed away at the age of 58. She was a great spirit, a feisty politician and her radiant smile will live on in people’s memories for years to come. May she rest in peace.

Very sad indeed. She was one of the few Clinton surrogates who didn’t annoy the hell out of me during the primaries. She was feisty and staunch in her advocacy, but it was all about building her candidate up instead of tearing the opponent down. She will be missed.

As I recall, she was one of the brave Congress Critters who stood up for Al Gore after the 2000 election.

Word on the street is she was a wonderful woman.

Positive vibes to her family and friends.

She scared the hell out of me whenever I saw her on TV, because she normally outshined whichever Obama supporter she was paired with. She was an excellent voice for the campaign.

Sad to see her go. She was such a warm and bighearted person she positively radiated good will.
