I think it’s somewhere in Les Liaisons dangereuses: the protagonist tells her male counterpart: “No one can discover the weakness of a woman with greater accuracy than another woman. And when she strikes at it, she seldom misses.” (I’m paraphrasing.) Anyway, MTG in the clip above reminded me of that passage when she tells the black lady, “Calm down, you’re out of control.” Pretty funny, though.
Makes you wonder- of the 333 million plus people that occupy the United States of America, are these really the only options they could get to represent them in congress…? Politics is a magnet for the lunatics. You probably couldn’t survive if you were of sound mind.
