After seeing the ambassador on Colbert, everyone will want one! And she did say she "ordered them in bulk" and gave them to visiting congressmen... Stephen was obviously quite thrilled with his...

compassionate, dedicated, incorruptible... and a woman...

It's no wonder Trump felt he had to fire her.

The American people badly need one here to counteract the former guy.

From the Mark Twain school of wit, sarcasm, and you have to laugh to keep from crying. This is why he is so despised by the former Republican, currently fascist party.

She has quite an amazing background, let alone her experience in Ukraine. And, as the site says, her book comes out Tuesday...

... but concerning Ambassador Yovanovich ...

The deposition that she gave in Chump's first impeachment is available in public domain. It's available to read or download here. (link) https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/6538652-Marie-Yovanovitch-testimony-transcript

She starts around Page 14 telling her background in Foreign Service and experience as Ambassador to Ukraine. Further on she gives details about the politics that became rather nasty after Chump was elected. There's a lot of meat here.
