With the return of the soapy political-fixer drama on Feb. 27, it's worth remembering just why so many of us are hopelessly caught up in the web of Olivia Pope & Associates, despite the fact that almost every character on the show just might be a <a href="http://thinkprogress.org/alyssa/2013/10/07/2741781/scandal-fitz-the-worst/">sort of terrible person</a>. (Two words: red wine.)<br /><br /><br /><br /><strong>Here are nine ways the ladies of "Scandal" get it right:</strong><br /><br /><br /><br />1. They know when to put their foot down with a romantic partner.<br /><br /><div><img src="https://d16jfyletng9p5.cloudfront.net/media/4XaV2bedvFSBG/giphy.gif" style="height: auto; max-width: 940px;" width="570px" /></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />2. They realize that sometimes there's no greater pleasure than contemplating your day with a glass of red wine.<br /><br /><div><img src="https://d16jfyletng9p5.cloudfront.net/media/HWnrn0IgUHmz6/giphy.gif" style="height: auto; max-width: 940px;" width="570px" /></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />...Or a beer and a "cheers."<br /><br /><div><img src="https://d16jfyletng9p5.cloudfront.net/media/wzACDSl14zCh2/giphy.gif" style="height: auto; max-width: 940px;" width="570px" /></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />3. They don't let powerful men push them around.<br /><br /><div><img src="https://d16jfyletng9p5.cloudfront.net/media/PEI25LcpIh1Xq/giphy.gif" style="height: auto; max-width: 940px;" width="570px" /></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />4. They know when to put aside their differences with other women and work together.<br /><br /><div><img src="https://d16jfyletng9p5.cloudfront.net/media/YCHyWLiDBvZLO/giphy.gif" style="height: auto; max-width: 940px;" width="570px" /></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />5. They aren't satisfied just sitting on the sidelines. These women take action.<br /><br /><div><img src="https://d16jfyletng9p5.cloudfront.net/media/lhGHDp8cjizZe/giphy.gif" style="height: auto; max-width: 940px;" width="570px" /></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />6. And when it comes to their work, they exude some serious confidence. (No impostor syndrome, here!)<br /><br /><div><img src="https://d16jfyletng9p5.cloudfront.net/media/1QBwJutTxj0d2/giphy.gif" style="height: auto; max-width: 940px;" width="570px" /></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />7. They realize that sometimes it's necessary to push back a little to get what you want.<br /><br /><div><img src="https://d16jfyletng9p5.cloudfront.net/media/gKjiglkDcLCLu/giphy.gif" style="height: auto; max-width: 940px;" width="570px" /></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />8. They set boundaries in their relationships, romantic and otherwise, when necessary.<br /><br /><div><img src="https://d16jfyletng9p5.cloudfront.net/media/BxDOZfnEVUUcE/giphy.gif" style="height: auto; max-width: 940px;" width="570px" /></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />9. And they know how to weather a heartbreak with grace.<br /><br /><div><img src="https://d16jfyletng9p5.cloudfront.net/media/tcJkL0gwi5zLq/giphy.gif" style="height: auto; max-width: 940px;" width="570px" /></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />So, cheers to you, Shonda Rhimes.<br /><br /><div><img src="https://d16jfyletng9p5.cloudfront.net/media/xjtqzwlRwXWq4/giphy.gif" style="height: auto; max-width: 940px;" width="570px" /></div><br /><br /><br /><br />Because, really, who can resist women who make entrances like this?<br /><br /><div><img src="https://d16jfyletng9p5.cloudfront.net/media/udMmMRa4xjIT6/giphy.gif" style="height: auto; max-width: 940px;" width="570px" /></div><br /><br /><div style="clear: both;"></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><b><a href="http://thefireboys.blogspot.com/">FASHION WEEK</a> - USA Fashion and Music News</b></li><li><b><a href="http://google-news-blogger.blogspot.com/">GOOGLE NEWS</a> - Google News Blogger</b></li><li><b><a href="http://palcomp3.com/nelioguerson/">PALCO MP3</a> - Download Music Legally Direct From Artist</b></li><li><b><a href="http://www.last.fm/music/Nelio+Guerson+and+Carlos+Guerson">LAST FM</a> - Download Music Legally Direct From Artist</b></li><li><b><a href="https://plus.google.com/u/0/communities/105152587910220373689/">WOMEN COMMUNITY</a> - Women Communty Photography Videos Beauty</b></li><li><b><a href="http://music-video-photo-blog.blogspot.com/">DISNEY CHANNEL</a> - Photos and Music News</b></li><li><b><a href="http://justin-bieber-images-google-news.blogspot.com/">BABY JUSTIN BIEBER</a> - Google Images Google News</b></li><li><b><a href="http://lady-gaga-images-google-news.blogspot.com/">LADY GAGA</a>  - Google Images Google News</b></li><li><b><a href="http://nature-universe-photography.blogspot.com/">UNIVERSE PICTURES</a> - Google Images Nature Pictures</b></li><li><b><a href="https://plus.google.com/u/0/communities/105477357727783490766">VICTORIA´S SECRET COMMUNITY</a> - Victoria´s Secret Fashion Show Photos</b></li></ul></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"></div></div></div>
