No doubting the lady's ability to articulate and promote herself. In the process whipping up the media into near hysteria in adulation for such a latter day heroine.
The evidence actualy points to nothing other than a well supported and generously funded flying circus.
Heroine??? Mmmmm
joy ride, thanks for that.
Mods may care to combine or, if you wish, I'll delete this thread.
