Thanks, Robyn Pennacchia, for once again tackling this stupid, stupid problem.
This makes me think about my “Nancy Pelosi” problem.
I don’t find her likable. She might be, in real life, but through the internet machine, don’t find her very likable. And her voice drives me nuts. And her mincing body language… don’t get me started.
But here’s the thing: I don’t need to get started. I actually won’t go much farther than my general “ew that voice” stance, BECAUSE THE WOMAN IS A GODDAM FORCE OF CONGRESSIONAL NATURE! She’s my (almost) Speaker of the House, not my neighbor with whom I need to make small talk over cocktails. She gets the job done. She’s good at it. And that’s what matters.
I must admit, however, that I liked her quite a bit in that meeting with Trump, Schumer, and sleepy-time Pence. She was perfect, and she was badass in her quiet mincing way, and though I’m not the type to go out and buy whatever the celebrities wear, I sure understand why the demand for that coat went up.
But yeah, likability… not so important. Making Congress Great Again? That’ll pull me in quite nicely, thank you!
