Elizabeth Warren Is Our 2014 Legislative Badass Of The Year
Elizabeth Warren Is Our 2014 Legislative Badass Of The Year, Obviously, duh
12/31/14
How much do we heart the senator and perfessor of Massachusetts, the greatest and bestest Elizabeth Warren who ever Elizabeth Warrened? Pretty much all. Sure, there are a few — a very few — non-Elizabeth Warrens in the Senate who aren’t too bad for being non-Elizabeth Warrens. Bernie Sanders, the socialist senator from Vermont, isn’t too bad at badassing and makes a mighty fine runner-up for 2014 Legislative Badass.
But when it comes to schoolmarming America with a smile and words so small almost any idiot in America — we said almost; obviously not oh all of ‘em, Katie — can understand her, there is none so great for yelling at the banks, busting corporate heads, ‘splaining why Republicans ruined America, and being generally epic and awesome in all the ways.
We never tire of watching her on the Senate floor, yelling about Wall Street, even at her fellow senators, when it is called for (as it too often is):
Even when Elizabeth Warren does have to chastise her fellow Democrats, she does so in a nice and polite and gentle way because she is a for-real good soldier Democrat. Like that time she had to tell President Obama that some of his judicial nominees, um, suck.
*************
...“It matters that someone has represented people other than corporate clients,” she said. “That they’ve had real experience with people who can’t afford lawyers. That they’ve had real experience trying to fight for the public interest.”
*************
But Warren never hesitates to help out her party however she can. When she wasn’t yelling at Wall Street throughout the year, she was on the campaign trail, saying nice words and raising hell (and money) for her fellow Dems...
...No wonder Republicans are so terrified of her. Bill O’Reilly thinks she’s such an anti-capitalist America-hater, who is so extreme in her hatred of America (read: the big banks what crashed our economy, THANKS WALL STREET), she makes Karl Marx look like, well, like Bill O’Reilly.
Sen. Lindsey Graham, who is not and will never make the top 100 list of possible legislative badasses, thinks Warren is dumb and immature and just doesn’t Get It like he Gets It, and yeah, we can’t stop laughing about that either.
Then there’s the lowest form of conservative scum, like (sadly, former) Stupidest Man On The Internet Jim Hoft, who is convinced Elizabeth Warren is basically just like Hitler because she wants to save Social Security and maybe make it so students don’t go broke for life just for getting an education, and also she stands up for Nazi socialist stuff like the Postal Service and thinks scammy payday lenders should suck it...
