You are an ass with no class. Reminds me of Vette the other day in his comment about someone who was dead. Another woman, interestingly. I'm starting to think you and Vette are one in the same.

All I did was C n P a headline
What is wrong with that
Now you're acting like an idiot, on top of being an ass. When you and Vette decide to get your stories straight, let me know, but I think that's another When Hell Freezes Over scenario.
Good day, sir!

The hospital, which has paid tribute to “a first class nurse”, named the woman as Jacintha Saldanha.
Police were called at 09:35 GMT to reports of a woman found unconscious at an address in central London.
Details of the pregnant Duchess’s medical condition were unwittingly revealed to two Australian DJs.
The pair, from Sydney radio station 2Day FM, posed as the Queen and Prince Charles.
BBC royal correspondent Peter Hunt said he understood Mrs Saldanha was the person who answered the call from the Australian DJs and was not the nurse who discussed the duchess’s medical condition

Why did nurse at Kate Middleton’s hospital kill herself?
Posted by Delia Lloyd on December 8, 2012 at 6:52 pm
LONDON — It’s the million-dollar question, and not only here in the U.K. Jacintha Saldana — one of the nurses taken in by the prank phone call to the hospital where Catherine, duchess of Cambridge, was being treated for acute morning sickness — killed herself early Friday. And we are all left scratching our heads. Why did she do it?
Of course, the first thing we all wonder is about her mental stability. We’d all desperately like to believe that this hard-working mother of two, who commuted 140 miles to her day job, often working double shifts so that she could spend more time with her family — must have some deep, dark secret to hide. Because then the rest of us could at least explain away an event that is, as the chairman of King Edward VII Hospital put it, “tragic beyond words.”
But from what we know, there is no sign that Saldana was suicidal, unstable or psychologically frail before she took her own life this week. Shy and nervous? Yes. But so depressed she was suicidal? Doesn’t sound right, at least according to those who knew Saldana, who was described at work as “an excellent nurse, well-respected and popular with all of her colleagues.”
Maybe she faced some kind of severe sanction from the hospital where she worked? Maybe the hospital blamed her for falling for a hoax in which two Australian DJs masquerading as Queen Elizabeth and Prince Charles managed to fool the diligent but non-native English speaker, who subsequently passed the phone call on to the Duchess’s private nurse, who then revealed details about the duchess’s condition?
Wrong again. According to the BBC, the hospital neither disciplined nor suspended Saldana. Nor did Buckingham Palace place any pressure on the hospital to do so. Rather, BBC correspondent Nicholas Witchell said that it had been suggested to him by hospital staff that Saldana felt “lonely and confused” as a result of what had happened.
Which brings us to another explanation — which seem outlandish, but is widely considered possible: Jacintha Saldana killed herself because she couldn’t live with the guilt of having violated the royal family’s privacy.
To understand why this might be plausible, you need to appreciate just what hallowed ground the royal family holds in this country — and within it, William and Kate in particular. When the young couple wed two years ago, the event was a nonstop mediathon from the moment they announced their engagement, not to mention on the day itself, when the entire country took a national holiday to take in the spectacle.
With her gracious manner, middle-class origins and girl-next-door beauty, Catherine has captured the British public’s imagination in a way that even her elegant, much-loved, would-have-been mother-in-law, the late Princess Diana, didn’t quite manage. And that’s because, unlike Lady Di, Kate Middleton is one of us.
So when the fairy tale princess goes into the hospital with acute morning sickness, we’re all on the edge of our seats, because there’s so very much riding on her being okay, not to mention the third-in-line-to-the-throne inside her womb.
Which is a heckuva lot to carry on your shoulders if you’re an immigrant nurse who happens to make the wrong decision on a phone call when you’re tired and trying too hard and haven’t quite mastered the language of the country you live in.
None of which is to suggest that the royal family is to blame for Jacintha Saldana’s death. Nor do I think it’s fair to blame the two Australian DJs, though many people do.
But perhaps this tragic event will remind all of us to invest a tiny bit less in the private affairs of the royals going forward.
Doing so won’t bring Jacintha Saldana back. But it will perhaps render her needless death a tiny bit less mysterious.
