You drew a sharp picture of MTG, Monica. Funny thing about her. She’s used outrageous behavior to get her job and keep it. To get the attention she craves. Problem is - from her perspective - she may not be the center of attention much longer. She showed other Republicans a way to win. Many followed her lead. When the next Congress is sworn in, she may no longer stand out. She may even be boring in comparison to some of the freshmen. And consequently, get less attention.

It’s ironic. If someone builds a career on being dull, they needn’t fear for their job because competitors can’t out-dull them. But if you build your career on being crazy, watch out, ‘cause someone will come along and out-crazy you.
