Poor taste and very poor judgment. I'm thinking this a non-story, even for a non-story rag like VW.

If you're going to sling mud, at least find a real issue AND consider cancer a topic that's non funny.

I was at a dinner 4 or 5 years ago with him and he had a raw vegan diet while everyone else had the standard fare. He looked thin then. Thank God he made it though. Hopefully it wasn't because he had money though. Everyone deserves a chance to beat cancer. He should donate his iFunds to cancer research.

You're kidding, right? He said he got the diagnosis "about a year" before June 2005, and you're branding it a lie because it was actually 20 months instead of 12? That's like calling someone a liar for telling you they feel pretty good today when they told someone else they feel great.

ok, I say that 19 or 20 months ago can be called "about a year ago". Call me crazy. I think Valleyrag sux on this one.

I just can't get worked up about this, and it's not just the Steve Jobs Reality Distortion Field in action. Anybody who's had cancer gets a pass to misbehave about it in my book. I've been through chemo and yes, you just get a Cancer Princess card to play for the rest of your life. That's just how it is.
