...for her column. At least she's a pleasure to look at now.

I thought she was going to have a nervous breakdown when Clinton left office. She spent 8 years trashing his administration and his wife. It's nice to see someone find a new way to express her natural gadfly tendencies.

"Why, sir? because [she] loves to make a fuss.
You don't expect [her] to agree with us,
When there's an opportunity to express
[Her] heaven-sent spirit of contrariness?
What other people think, [she] can't abide;
Whatever they say, [she's] on the other side;
[She] lives in deadly terror of agreeing;
'Twould make [her] seem an ordinary being.
Indeed, [she's] so in love with contradiction,
[She'd] turn against [her] most profound conviction
And with a furious eloquence deplore it,
If only someone else is speaking for it."*
