10. Katy certainly deserves a rest/break after what she endured.

As you probably know, the 'Orange Menace' would regularly point her out to his lathered up crowd. He would call her "little Katy" and constantly mock and taunt her. On at least one occasion, she was so fearful of the jeering mob, that Secret Service had to escort her to her car. But...she never backed down or cowered in her coverage of him.

In my opinion, her name should be "Brave Katy".
What a sick, vindictive, sadistic fucker he is.
