Linda the legislative director

Linda is Deb‘s legislative director. She runs the full-court press, the relaxation media tour and the search for a good smile consultant.

When Deb wanders off to talk to the Tea Party, Linda is the one Grimm sends to get her. When things go badly, she looks on the bright side, briefly.

#5. Great faith

January 10, 2010

GRIMM: Ma'am, your opponents will turn this pledge of allegiance slip into a political STAKE through your heart.
DEB: They'll try...

DEB: But people will see THROUGH it. I have a GREAT faith in my constituents' judgement.
GRIMM: You do. Which is a catastrophic liability.

DEB: As well as a strong belief that VOTERS LOVE FACTS!
GRIMM: Despite decades of hard evidence to the contrary.

DEB: The TRUTH will set me free!
GRIMM: Yes... you'll soon be free you from the burden of elected office.
