The Honorable Elizabeth Warren?

Elizabeth Warren, Senate candidate from Massachusetts, was recently asked if she considers Scott Brown, the incumbent Republican, to be honorable.  Her somewhat ambiguous answer was "That's not a question for me."  Does she mean that it is not her place to say?  Or does she mean she wouldn't recognize honorable if she tripped over it?
Exactly who is Elizabeth Warren?
She is a law professor at Harvard.  She was Obama's consumer czar and set up the new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), fully expecting to become its first director.  President Obama was forced to replace her because of opposition in the Senate to her extremist views.  Ms. Warren returned to Massachusetts and is running against Scott Brown for senator from that state.
Professor Warren, speaking about Occupy Wall Street, claims, "I created much of the intellectual foundation for what they do."  She can also claim credit for inspiring President Obama's telltale gaffe "You didn't build that" (see Obama in context here).
One more thing: Elizabeth Warren is perhaps the whitest woman of color on the face of the earth. 
The July 2012 issue of the Limbaugh Letter has an article on Ms. Warren titled "Dishonest Injun."  She claims Cherokee ancestry based on family lore but without a scintilla of documented evidence.  Certainly not enough evidence to, in her own words, "let people know about my Native American heritage in a national directory of law school personnel."
