Apparently the Welfare Queen was a real woman, but welfare fraud was only one, and possibly the least of her many, many cons. She had married at least 5 different guys, and was so good at her game that she could appear to be anything from late 20s to late 40s at a time when she was 47.

Reagan deserves eternal shame for inserting her into the American political consciousness in the way he did. He made it seem like she was the norm, not an exceptionally gifted criminal.

GGT did a Page on her a while back. GGT, could you post a link to that Page?
