“...but a very bizarre individual.”
How so?
She left college 22 years ago.
She spent a few years as a talking head - basically the go-to telegenic conservative girl for contrast on CNN and other networks.
The she formed her own group (SALT) apparently so she could have an affiliation to put after her name as she appeared on MTV and Politically Incorrect and other pop culture shows (Sex in the 90s, etc.).
Then she took a job in 2003 at ISI, a pretty well-respected conservative thinktank, as a media relations person. She didn't work out and when they let her go, she filed a lawsuit with the EEOC against them. A "conservative" - filing an EEOC lawsuit.
That lawsuit filing is unbelievable - claiming that being fired psychologically dmaged her so much that she could not get out of bed, or work for years.
So since 2003 she has basically been filing lawsuits and running for office, and living off campaign donations.
She's been out of school for more than 20 years and she's held a real job for about one of them.
Then there's the witch stuff, the weirdo Gawker story, the live-in boyfriend who wasn't a live-in boyfriend, etc.
