Bully: Our Lady of the Perpetual Scowl.

You know, it has GOT to suck to be Bully.  Her inability to get the one thing she was sure to pick up like a quarter dropped on the sidewalk... namely, the WEA endorsement... has GOT to sting.

Imagine: Liz Pike's facebook post about teachers was/is LEGENDARY.

Bully carries the teacher's water like they've got a gun aimed at her... and what does she get for it?

Nothing.

Very old pictures aside (And the pictures she uses for her facebook portrait and web site are not likely from this decade) I've seen Bully around on the campaign trail.  She's frightened witless, as evidenced by her continuing failure to interact with those wise enough to disagree with her... but added to that is to her, the inexplicable weight of the WEA's refusal to give Bully the prized endorsement after the explosion of the facebook post?

It's likely she feels it every day.  It's likely people ask her about it.  And it's equally likely that she has no answer.

The end result?

Every time I've seen her, she has the look of a storm across her face.  Angry.  Upset.  She doesn't work the room.  There's none of the typical, usual political glad-handing that the confident, forward-looking politician on the rise.

No... she has the dour expression of someone with a homework assignment that they do not want, do not understand and do not want to do.

One wonders: has she figured it out yet?
