1. I love her!

First openly bisexual congresscritter ever, right?

2. That's what they say about her, personally I couldn't give a fuck about her sex life.

5. Nor I, but to the extent it helps millions of others....

...who are in the closet or feeling unrepresented.

If she was a conservative or libertarian, I would have much much less love of her, though still be happy for the representation.

Happy New Year, lonestarnot!

"Sinema is a bracingly unfiltered talker, a precocious achiever, a high-energy persuader, an adjunct professor, a lawyer, a marathon runner, a lover of designer clothes. She is a holder of many, many degrees — this she’s happy to tell you in a humble-braggy sort of way. And she can be a lot of fun to hang out with, a rambling, kind of kooky monologist who can pivot from whimsical and wacky to substantive and earnest without a pause."

4. And her first job was a social worker. She gets into the little folks and socializes, mingles,

protested. I love her!

7. She is a class act!

One of the few sane voices we had in the AZ Legislature!
