My heart breaks to learn that Cokie Roberts has died at age 75 from the complications of breast cancer. She is such a wise voice when it comes to Washington politics.

I was sorry to read this news this morning. A great journalist and reporter (if those differ).

She had a handle on the inner workings of Washington, D.C., a vibrant personality and was known around our household as "the Cokester".

The stories people are telling on All Things Considered tonight are wonderful, and tearful.
