I think that perhaps this is half right. It is her influence that is the problem. That she represents her district that voted her in a free and fair election is part of the warts and all that comes with democracy.

Don't get me wrong, she's embarrassing, but only her national influence is embarrassment I feel as an American. Since I don't live in her district and more importantly didn't vote for her, that she was elected is embarrassment that her Republican constituents can have all to themselves.
