Nice smirk, huh?
I remember her mother from the 1970s (Antonia Handler Chayes). She was an Undersecretary of Defense for Carter. She pushed the rail-mobile MX system in Utah, to much opposition.
It's a weird family, but one commenter on another site got it rite: the woman is an egomaniac.
Her only real job in life was being an NPR reporter, and that probably says all we need to know, but she has written some good commentary about the prevalence of massively corrupt "mafia governments" throughout the so-called developing world.
All in all a strange mix of neo-Bolshevist politics and warped sensibilities about the use of power.
That she thinks she can chatter-speak the First Amendment out of existence where it isn't convenient for her shows her to be just another Leftist thugette in the end.
what’s wrong with her head?
