I think you're right. If she really believes she can keep making up stories and lie her way out of this... Her staff needs to get her professional help, now. If/when she snaps and goes completely over the edge, how are they going to feel if she hurts herself or someone else? The time for people who care about her (there have to be some out there) to act is now. She needs help, real help not politically expedient help. Her political career is over.
I stated above that I believe nan is suffering from a medical problem that has become obvious during the past few months. I agree, those close to her should step in and drag her away from the mike before she is taken away in a straitjacket.
I vote for stupid and condescending.
