    Her Name Was Lori Klausutis, not “Dead Intern”

    Lori Klausutis was a 28-year old woman. A wife & daughter. She ran marathons. She loved & was loved. She died July 20, 2001.

    To many liberals, however, she is known only as “Dead Intern.” For liberals wanting to sting MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough, the “Dead Intern” line gives them a free shot at “Morning Joe.” Regardless of the fact they are dehumanizing a young woman who died far too young. And regardless of the fact that the only connections Scarborough has to her death are nebulous ones created by conspiracy theorists.

    Her name was Lori Klausutis. If you want to research her death, and try to “solve the case,” fine. But calling her “Dead Intern” to try and score political points against Joe Scarborough defiles her memory, and your own humanity.

    Thanks for giving her the dignity of a name, Wolfrum.  Kos is an ass.  Scarborough is, too, but then...
