My Take
Jeanine Pirro fascinates me as a study in reinvention. Few careers run from prosecutor to elected judge to politician to prime-time television host, and then, past seventy, to United States attorney for the District of Columbia. Whatever you think of her politics, and plenty of people think loudly, that trajectory demands a rare appetite for the spotlight and for combat. What I notice most is how her courtroom cadence never left her; every television monologue sounds like a closing argument. She is polarizing by design, which makes her less interesting to agree with than to watch. As a case study in turning legal credentials into media power, she may be unmatched.
