After taking a close look at the sour, deranged Marta.....
Nebraska Democrat
femmes look only one of two ways.
Either they're younger thin women with a perpetual angry scowl on their faces, wire-rimmed eyeglasses, and an ABORTION NOW bumper-sticker on their car, or they're doughy middle-aged women who are actually heavier than they look, because instead of eliminating food they've eaten, it stays inside of them, compressing more and more until it has the density of a black hole.
In regards to the big guy's wife, you be the judge which version she is.
The first lieutenant-governor under Ben Nelson (D, was governor 1991-1999), Maxine Moul, was one who matched the second description. An utterly unpleasant person, she was "encouraged" to resign halfway through his first term, another Democrat woman of the first sort taking her place, while Maxine went on to become director of one of the minor state agencies.
franksolich was well-acquainted with Maxine; had to deal with her a lot, as manager of the late David Hunter's Reunion on the campus of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. She was insufferable, and instead of having other employees suffer dealing with her, I as
el bosso supremo took that on, took one for the team.
I called her the
la vieille vache, the old cow, and even Democrats agreed with me.
