6. I get a feeling that Linda had some kind of behind the scenes run in with some Tea Party types

during the campaign. Vince LOOOVES to use his platform to attack people whom he perceives to have 'wronged' him and it doesn't matter if they are of the left or the right. Does anyone remember the RTC stable (Right to Censor) that spoofed Brent Bozell and the PTC? Also on his 'hit list' have been:
* Stan Kroenke (owner of the Denver Nuggets) for cancelling an arrangement with Vince regarding the use of the Pepsi Center that had been organized months in advance. While Vince was right, he spent a friggin' entire show ragging on Kroenke and had a Lakers/Nuggets match up where all the faces (good guys for you non wrestling fans) were wearing Lakers jerseys. Guess what jerseys the heels (bad guys) were wearing?
* The billionaire Ted skits which started out ragging on all the old guys that WCW had employed but ended up calling Ted Turner a racist , mocking his father's death, his political views and WCW's steroid policy.
* Before he became Triple H, Paul Levesque was Hunter Hearst Helmsley: Connecticut blue blood. Now you may ask from what real life feud did Vince pull this from? Well, in the early '90's, Vince moved to Greenwich and apparently his neighbors looked down his nose at him for his promotion of 'low brow' entertainment.
With a track record like that, I get the feeling that some Tea Party loon began pressuring Linda to move in their direction on certain policy planks and she resisted (like any sane person would). This is most likely where this is coming from.
