Way back a while former Republican Rep. Susan Molinari took a newspaper job -NYT? - in some benign capacity as food critic or some equally non-political position and some lefties made a big fuss simply because it was a uniting of former politician (Republican) and the lofty world of impartial journalism...yada, yada, yada...

But I'm sure they would have been fine if Ms. Susan had been transitioning in the opposite direction instead.
