Fully armed but only dangerous to herself....
That was my first thought when reading about a mouthy and ill-manned Youth in Government representative - Emma Sullivan.
It is interesting that Ms. Sullivan was busy tweeting disparaging remarks about Governor Sam Brownback as he was delivering his greeting to the assembled crowd. In her tweet, Ms. Sullivan stated she was "listening to Brownback's greeting". Listening requires attentiveness and a minimal attempt at eye contact. And to disconnect from discourse at the beginning point shows a Youth in Government participant who lacks interest in due process and policy issues.
From what the tweet reads, is appears Ms. Sullivan is merely fully of herself. It is good to ponder that underachievers are the best at delivering up scorn to those who have worked diligently to attain status and position within society. Does the scorn-heaper pay her own bills yet? Doubtful. She has yet to taste the slice of life which dishes out hearty helpings of hardship as youth transition to adulthood and productivity.
The Youth in Government leadership undoubtedly feels a bit humbled that one of the public faces of their organization has chosen to sling mud in the face of opportunity. But Ms. Sullivan's torpedo tweet will merely send a ping off the Brownback political submarine. Will we recognize her name in ten years? Let me know.
