That’s embarrassing.
I wonder how her husband is doing. Haven’t heard much of him recently, but we’d hear if he died.

Well Faulkner did write the sound and the fury. But she was honest enough to apologize.

True, but speed kills and the glee and sarcasm got smoked. It’s called being out over your skills and it was a yard sale ending.

That's one of my favourite Shakespearean quotes.
It's ironic how many people piled on with her, and also how many people who are now piling on against her probably had no freaking idea where the quote came from, either.
I can't speak for the rest of the country, but my kids have been far too busy learning about America to do much Shakespeare.

I know that there's a famous writer of that name, but I still don't get it. Maybe I'm missing background on Faulkner (which doesn't extend much beyond knowing the name).
