    so you’ll telling me C***y didn’t make it as an celebrity to be on that list? Or she’s too busy all of a sudden highlighting the social issues like scooters swirling through traffic or the man them racing them big trucks? I mean those issues aren’t new; been ongoing but it’s talking political season so the areas that she actually like are all of a sudden now have to be called out?! No one will take her all of a sudden social issues seriously for the fact we see it’s all of a sudden as she spent her time focusing on the elected officials individually and did avoid other major issues.
