I kinda like Michelle, too, but it seems she has resorted to gonzo. Ratings, controvery, I dunno.
I think her main problem is that she's moved to DC, where everything is politics. It narrows you. Suggest to a columnist there or a Congressional aide that there's more to life than politics and they look at you like a deer caught in the headlights. I don't mind the politically obsessed but I do feel sorry for them.
