Not sure I should say much publicly —but I know what kind of person Olympia Snowe is. I dated her personal assistant some years back and there is no need to get into the specific details on a public forum— but I am certain that the Senator is mentally ill and obsessed with power beyond what most normal people could be comfortable conceiving of.

I’m sorry, but that seems “off” to me. How could Snowe be obsessed with power? She is one of two underwhelming senators from a Canadian salient, population 1.3 million people, that never should have been cut loose from Massachusetts in the first place. If I sought power on a national level and I was from Maine, I would move - to New York, I suppose. Which is exactly what Barack Obama did, when he found himself wanting power but living in Hawaii.

A penchant for notoriety, fine. Contempt for Republican voters, certainly. But I don’t see power-tripping on her list of sins.
