Discussion: Klobuchar: Being Mean To My Staff Proves I Can Deal With Putin

I am probably being a prude, but I absolutely cannot agree with (or “like”) any comment that uses that word, even if I might agree with the overall sentiment. @tobie presumably is correct in noting the unhelpful shift in the statement, but I cannot think of any way of phrasing the idea that has a more favorable implication other than saying that she is a bad boss, meaning that she is unduly demanding and unreasonable in dealing with people who work for her. That is never a good thing. (I certainly make a distinction between being a demanding boss and a bad one.)
