Kirkpatrick was one of the great ones and she will be missed.

The Miller Center culled two rememberences from Ken Andelman about Jeane Kirpatrick that was worth a glance (PDF). She was adored by Ronald Reagan and she got under Al Haig's skin. What's not to like about that? The sentiment that she was a brilliant woman who refused to wear a "Kick Me" sign as US Ambassador to the UN may be the best summation of her career.
