Marc, she doesn't scare the left. We love having her out there, flailing away, primping and opining, acting as a poster boy for every stupid, failed, ignorant, teabagging, lunatic fringe wingnut out there, forever tarring this generation of the right wing with her oil-drenched brush. Just like we love Glenn Beck and Limbaugh, sad, hateful creatures though they all are. (which doesn't mean to say that if I happened upon Glenn Beck on a sunny Sunday morn that I wouldn't feel obliged to try out all my fun new Krav Maga/Spetsnaz tricks on him.)
