Besides "Mac McGwire's" comment being overtly sexist, it's also ignorant. Beth has served on numerous boards for not-for-profit organizations and was vice chair of the Heart of Peoria Commission. She's done a lot in Peoria, and would make an excellent city council member.

It is so obvious.The BA person has no degree from an accredidated college, she name drops all the time, is a board housewife married to a doctor.She has plenty of money to mount a campaign using other peoples names because she has done nothing. She is a little secretary copying for people who really do the work. But no matter the situation she gets her name in their, no name regonition of her own. She uses hubbies name ,money.Sad story for a women who should have made somthing of her self .
