Don't get too fond of her before you get familiar with her terrible, terrible political views.

Just because she's politically left doesn't make her wrong about this.

That's a whole 'nuther matter, I agree.

I didn't look into her bio any deeper. Just heard about it on the news and watched the vid. I think that it just exposes more of the bs that is involved when dealing with the govt. Just like the time when John Stewart ripped the govt about the va back log and how the two agencies databases wouldn't compute each other.

Never said it did. In fact I applauded it greatly when I first saw it, then I remembered who she was. My point was to be sure that her actions here were praised, not the person who is to be found severely lacking. Edited July 2, 2013 by Chucktshoes
