What kind of mother grants a request for an interview against her daughter or son-in-law's views, and airs their dirty laundry and differences in public? Would you do that? I happened to have missed her interview with Bill O'Reilly today, and haven't heard anything she said, but it's an awful disloyalty, at the very least. My brother is a Conservative Republican, my mother is nearly as liberal as I am, but we disagree in areas -- I don't think she would ever speak against either of us publicly. Nor would I of them. Unless, perhaps, we were long estranged. And, again, what does this do to the kid? The family's already been through enough. Even in lesser situations, such as when Barbra Streisand's mother gave an interview that hurt her (don't remember what it was about), that's unfortunate. And yes, that's what the Tim Robbins speech was about. Now about Cooperstown, but what it represents.
