Remember when you crossed your eyes and your mother said not to do that or your eyes would stay that way?
Maxine's face is a constant scowl from looking that way all of her life - mouth always "down and out", sunken eyes, and if she had serpents in her hair, she could double as a black Medusa. She's a crook, a riot inciter, a despot that wields race as a weapon, and one of the lousiest "leaders" of the Black community ever to cross the threshold of the United States Congress.
