Gov. Gregoire is now a grandmother
OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) - Gov. Chris Gregoire is a grandmother.
Gregoire's office told The Associated Press on Friday that Audrey Christine Lindsay was born Thursday at Swedish Medical Center in Seattle. She's Gregoire's first grandchild and the first child for 33-year-old Courtney Gregoire and her husband, Scott Lindsay. The couple was married at the governor's mansion in 2008.
They moved back to the state from Washington, D.C., earlier this year so that Courtney Gregoire could take a job at Microsoft. She previously had been deputy chief of staff for the U.S. Department of Commerce.
Gov. Gregoire said she and her husband, Mike, are "thrilled to welcome Audrey to the world." Gov. Gregoire has another daughter, 27-year-old Michelle, who is currently a law student at the University of Washington.

A grandmother, really? She's looked like one for the past 40 years!
who gives a rats ass , now move along
Maybe now she will give a rip about education. She sure hasn't for her hometown.
Â
...and in 2077, when this child reaches Grandma's age now, and is paying out a $28 dollar toll to cross the 520 bridge, she'll smile with joy and fondness remembering Grandma did this just for her.
Â
But like Funky-Munky said: Politics aside... Mrs. Gregoire congratulations! :D)
Â
Â
I never liked her as a Gov, but am happy for her becoming a Grandmother. Granddaughters are AWESOME!Â
 @Beau's Mom So are grandsons......

Thought y'all might wanna know.
Best wishes to our Gov and her family! Congratulations all!
Good for you Grandma!
So what!!! Big deal....Â
Chris,
Enjoy your grandchild...
Â
Now in other news,... Christine Gregoire's grandchild messed her diaper... LOL Â
Seriously, Enjoy her..
Poor kid.
Congratulations! What a wonderful feeling becoming a Grandparent must be. Health and happiness to the whole family.
Well I see some people can't help but be negative. Despite your views on her governorship, becoming a grandparent is a wonderful thing. Congratulations Governor Gregoire.
Politics aside... Mrs. Gregoire congratulations! :D)Â
Congrats. I didn't vote for you because I didn't agree with your policies but I've met you and I know a good person when I see one. You'll be a good grandmother.
Another "accomplishment" that requires no effort or competence on her part. She deserves all the credit in the world for rolling out of bed on that blessed day.

All I know about your "accomplishments" is your stupid comment here...If you can't say something nice then STFU.
 @wysoumible If only your mom hadn't abandoned the egg before you hatched... if only....
Congrats to her and her family!
Hopefully she will be a better grandmother than she was a governor.
 @scared_citizen You and your "me me me" mentality
Congrats to the new grandparents.
Becoming parents is special, becoming grandparents is even better...because you can hand the fuzzy baby to the mom or dad and quietly relocate...<heheehe>
