Her "America disappoints me" attitude may seem completely normal in Seattle, but in Peoria it will not play well. She is not good at the political wife part and disowning her will be much harder than disowning Rev. Wright.

Has Slog become part of the Grand Wurlitzer too? Inquiring minds want to--AAAaaiiiiii!

Given they've already won so many, the Committee should just retire the category.
