The Baltimore Sun is (thankfully) less fawning at the start, even including several priceless quotes from the wonderous recaps of Miss Alli over at TWoP, such as "This is not Mirnaland, where Mirna is Queen and gets to wave her Mirna-Wand and straighten her Mirna-Crown and tell everyone what to do." (Miss Alli shares the general loathing around here for HiLo.)
However, the second half of the article is fawning, and gives pause, particularly this statement from one of Mirna's law school classmates:
"It's probably very difficult for them to see a woman who's as smart and successful and strong as Mirna, and I bet they find that pretty intimidating. She won't allow anyone to push her around, and I think that's really difficult for people at times. But she's just standing up for herself."I can't quibble with "successful," but her inability to read a map and speak languages in which she is allegedly "fluent" would seem to defeat "smart" and her inability to carry a side of beef would defeat "strong" (at least physically).
The good news? Maybe the media coverage means these cousins are about to experience the end of their 15 minutes of fame. We can only hope. Then again, getting rid of Team Deep Dish tonight would be a happy ending too.
