    Hmm, so anything looking like, talking like, imitating Trump is sleaze? And everything that doesn't, isn't sleaze?

    She looks ahead, she paints her toe nails red,
    She's wet and wild, a typical 90's child,

    She makes every move they make,
    She takes everything they take,
    She must be a thelma or louise,
    She must be a post-modern sleaze

    Unscrew the wine, she'll throw a party line,
    Stories extreme, she's such a drama queen,
    Cries through the night, she choked on marlboro lites,
    Pure charm and grace, she hates her pretty face,

    She makes every move they make,
    She takes everything they take,
    She must be a thelma or louise,
    She must be a post-modern sleaze

    Straw spun from gold, she craves a tortured soul,
    All doom and gloom, she plays an open wound,

    She takes every scene they steal,
    She takes every pain they feel,
    She must be a thelma or louise,
    She must be a post-modern sleaze

    Sleaze to me is anything that seems to cheapen or downgrade a person or an act.  I also think of exploitation of any kind.

    Yes... I've met several of them here. Some are showing it very directly whereas others will hide behind a cover. We got them all here, as in society.
