Isn't "shameless politician" something of a verbal redundancy? To my mind it's like "crooked politician" or "dead corps". Doesn't the 2nd word include (or at least imply) the first? It's rather like, years ago, when I used to refer to the time in my life when I was "young and stupid". Being "young" sorta includes the "and stupid" part - doesn't it?
Actually I doubt Hildabeast actually "approves" of those things. It's just that she considers them acceptable outcomes to the exercise of government power. For statists, government is a worthy end in itself and any/all actions by government are therefor proper.

I thought they meant Janet Reno.
