Reply #30: No makeup--just week-old bruises in all their glory

[Hekate]

A good coat of makeup would have hidden the worst of that color, as many a woman with a black eye has done. Somehow I seriously doubt Mr W would have allowed such a thing.

I hate to think what's hidden by his shirt and suit -- that "peppering" could have cost him his eye or worse. The man is 78, and this has been quite a physical trauma.

BTW, Molly Ivins writes this week that Mr Whittington is a good egg, a decent man. It's a shame he was palling around with someone who isn't.
