In our inaugural Storyboys episode, Q has a story to tell about the senior Senator from Arizona, the Queen Bee thumb-downer, the master of political disguise, Kyrsten Sinema, and about whether the US Senate is a corrupting influence, or if the institution’s allure of power and influence simply attracts the most easily corruptible handmaidens of power.
