my take is that Amanda took her eye off of her own goal (aiding the Edwards campaign) and while thus distracted allowed herself to become preoccupied with hurtful trivia with which she then became obsessed. It's a shame really. Shame on the bullies and shame on amanda for letting hersef become so distracted.
My suggested remedy? Shake it out of her hair and go back to the Edwards campaign if she still feels like working with them. And next time employ a stronger filter - don't fall victim to every sling and arrow - there will be too many of them. Does it mean becoming a hardened (meaning out-of-touch) "insider"? no. but it means employing some of their survival skills to your (her) advantage.
Amanda... Keep your eye on your goal. Stop listening to the crowd watching the game.
