    So who's surprised?

    Marcotte is an uneducated hick from Alpine in West Texas. She has cheated the people of Texas for years spewing her hate while on the taxpayers' dime working at the University of Texas McCombs School of Management.

    It's encouraging to see that liberals as well as conservatives mostly agree and understand what a turd she truly is.
