In fact she will be talking about her bout with depression tomorrow on "60 Minutes" at 8:00 pm CST, CBS station. Watch the show then judge her views afterward, not before.

> BTW, what is a ditz? Does it have anything to do with her depression. At one point in my life I also suffered from depression. Does it make me a ditz? Are people who suffer or have experienced depression or some form of mental illnes ditzes? Sounds like a very hurtful and cruel label. Sorry to disappoint you but we "ditzes" have feelings too.-----
Is Tipper or Al running for President?
And, anyway, what kind of treatment do
you think Tipper Gore could afford as
opposed to what most of us can afford. I bet
she wasn't at all concerned about her pdoc's
bills, and I for one bet she got, or could
get her hands on the best possible treatment
known to mankind. How about us? Do you
think that we would have that privilege; I
seriously doubt it. If these guys (Al and Tipper)
have some secret solutions for the plight of
mental health, then why in H**l have they
been holding it back for 8 years; or could
we be playing politics again??????
