98. Anyone who compares her to Warren needs to have their head examined

Warren was a first-rate academic with government experience who was giving public lectures on economics that millions of people were watching on the Internet.

Franken was less accomplished but he too was in the public arena, jousting with the Right on air, giving speeches around the country and publishing books.

I don't rule out Judd completely, but the comparisons in the OP are akin to clapping for Tinkerbelle.
