Amy Klobuchar is the phony "moderate" Democratic U.S. senator from the great state of Minnesota, eh? She is, and always has been, a reliably solid vote for most every far-left policy that makes its way over the transom, though she works really, really hard at pretending to be far more middle-of-the-road than she actually is. She's also probably going to announce this weekend that she's entering the Thunderdome, seeking to be the Democratic nominee for Preezy of the United Steezy in 2020, going up against Donald "Sauron" Trump in a winner-take-all, to-the-death, match not seen since, well... since 2016. There's just one small problem: According to that eminently trustworthy and always reliable news site, Buzzfeed, she's occasionally a raging bee-yotch to her staff members:
"That anger regularly left employees in tears, four former staffers said. She yelled, threw papers, and sometimes even hurled objects; one aide was accidentally hit with a flying binder, according to someone who saw it happen, though the staffer said the senator did not intend to hit anyone with the binder when she threw it.
“I cried. I cried, like, all the time,” said one former staffer…
Most staffers who spoke with BuzzFeed News are experienced Congressional employees who say they have worked with difficult lawmakers, male and female, in the past. But as a boss, Klobuchar was uniquely unbearable, most former staffers said — in a way that four staffers said was “worse” than any rumors about her behavior they had heard.
Anything could set her temper off, they said, and it was often unpredictable. Among the things that staffers said had prompted outbursts from Klobuchar: minor grammar mistakes; the use of the word “community” in press releases; forgetting to pack the proper coat in her suitcase; failing to charge her iPad; using staples."
Honestly, does Klobuchar stand a snowball's chance in hell of beating out some of the more "electable" (I guess) declared Democrats for the White House, like U.S. senator Kamala "Side Piece" Harris or Spartacus Booker (and his imaginary dope-dealing friend, T-Bone), or even the original paleface phony Native American, Elizabeth Warren? I ain't seeing it, but like I said: I fucking suck at the political prognostication game, so what the fuck do I know?
"Politics is just show business for ugly people."
