So Maria Shriver was interviewed by The New York Times reporter Deborah Solomon regarding the HBO four-part series, "The Alzheimer's Project" which Shriver co-produced.
Solomon asked, "Are you a member of the Alzheimer’s Study Group, whose chairmen are Newt Gingrich and Bob Kerrey, who are trying to devise a national plan for conquering the disease?"
Shriver's response DELIGHTED me: "You sound like my mother. You think I’m not doing enough. I’ve got four
kids, three of whom are teenagers and one of whom is 11, and I have a
full plate as first lady of California. I also have two sick parents. I
have a miniature horse and three dogs and a pig. That’s why I can’t be
on the Alzheimer’s Study Group."
Amen.
