Tanya Harding was a desperate little girl,
She carried a Lillehammer every day,
She hammered Nancy's knee up in old Detroit,
You ought to see Tanya Harding gettin' away,
You ought to see Tanya Harding gettin' away.]]

Art, once again I must come to Tonya's (NOT "Tanya's") defense, I see.
Nobody likes a good folk song as much as I, but Tonya did not wield the wooden stick (NOT a tire iron) that hit Nancy on the thigh (ABOVE the knee), and, while she only pled guilty to "hindering the prosecution" of the guys who did the deed (primarily her ex-husband and still lover, Jeff Gilooley), Tonya (NOT "Tanya") HARDLY got away with it. She paid a very hefty fine (ca. $10,000) for a poor working stiff and was forever deprived of her main livelihood (anything having to do with skating as an amateur competitor or as a paid professional).   I'm beginning to think Tonya's (NOT "Tanya's") "crimes" were small potatoes compared to the path Hillary seems to be set on.
