Some writers on Medium think MTG is rather smart however also a bad ass con like that other orange-silver-alert-con running around loose in a Florida condo who also doesn't give a crap about anyone but himself, or in this case herself.

Other than all that, yeah, to get into politics it helps to do outrageous crap, intentionally or haphazardly especially if the candidate has an origin in some kind of reality show.

How long will it be before the talent pool for congressional candidates requires experience on cable network shows like QVC? Um, Dr. Oz what is the meaning of life? ... Wow! I'd vote for that!
