Elizabeth Warren's Epic Eyeroll

Not much of a diary here. I really just wanted to show you this 2 second video.

I was sitting with my daughter last night (who is presently stuck-at-home because...college is closed) watching the Rachel Maddow Show. Typically she doesn’t watch with me, but her hero, Elizabeth Warren was on the show. We live in California, but she goes to college outside of Boston. I had just gotten through telling her that Warren is in former Senator Edward Kennedy’s old seat and he was called the Lion of the Senate. “Assuming she isn’t the Vice President,” I said, “wouldn’t it be cool if she got the nickname ‘Lioness of the Senate’ and became Senate Majority Leader next year?” My daughter wholeheartedly and enthusiastically agreed. “She is such the Lioness,” my daughter said, as only a 21 year old can say with complete authority. Seriously, my daughter LOVES Elizabeth Warren.

Anyway, Rachel begins the interview, and was teeing up a question in her very Rachel Maddow way (of taking a long time to do it) by first recognizing that the Senators were spread out, the Democratic senators weren’t even in the room, and the meeting witnesses were video-ing in remotely. Rachel got as far as “can the senators effectively do their job...” and that’s when the eye-roll came.

I was looking down at my emails when this happened. If it weren’t for my daughter and her uproarious laughter, I would have missed it. I rewound the video about 5 times because every time we did, we laughed a little harder. She just communicated so much about the present state of, well, everything. 

Enjoy the 2 second video. You can watch the whole TRMS clip here

Just keep hitting the rewind button on the lower left for maximum effect. If I knew how to make a gif from this, I would.
