@paw she's awful, by which I mean 'temperamentally ill-suited to representative politics'. But yeah, guessing nothing can ever live up to her first hit of full-evil. Bummer, eh.

@lightweight @paw Well, that depends on who you assume she represents, I suppose.

Working women? No. The top 311? Absolutely.
