I wanted to toughen her up, and give her a modern sensibility."

And besides, he added, "What woman only wears only one outfit for 60-plus years?"

It's just that, the idea that, people can't read to get information anymore, that they have to be entertained all the time. The increasing merger of politics with entertainment... "infotainment". And an electorate that needs to be communicated with via comic books, because... ? Am I the only one bothered by this?
