28. It's called chutzpah and the definition is..
"1892, from Yiddish khutspe "impudence, gall" from Heb. hutspah. The classic definition is that given by Leo Rosten: "that quality enshrined in a man who, having killed his mother and father, throws himself on the mercy of the court because he is an orphan."

And the m$$m is playing for continued ratings gloming on to hilary as if she were nothing more than a fucking meal ticket which it turns out she is.
