If you're like me, you often wonder how someone as corrupt and venal as Susan Collins has remained in the U.S. Senate for so long. Surely, they can elect someone who serves Maine's interests more than just the Republican Party? Well, having a compliant and complicit local press helps a lot, and that's just what the Bangor Daily News has been doing for years. If today's example strikes you as especially egregious it's not. Printing an op-ed from Collins' own intern is just par for the course.
Here's how they identified Emma Roberts: Emma Roberts grew up in Lowell. A graduate of John Bapst Memorial High School, she is now a third-year government major at Smith College.
And here's an excerpt from her op-ed. Apparently, any criticism of Susan Collins's absurd rationalizations decisions is based on misogyny.

Growing up in northern Maine, I have always admired Sen. Susan Collins for her steadfast commitment to bipartisanship and her dedication to delivering tangible results for the people of Maine. As my senator and a leader poised to chair the powerful Senate Appropriations Committee, she has consistently demonstrated the ability to navigate complex challenges with practicality and grace.
