What's the part about her being a bitch? What do you mean, specifically? I know she cheated on her husband or something, but meh.
Oh, she was an incredibly smart woman, clearly. Objectivism is a remarkably well-thought out system drawing from all kinds of influences, from Aristotle to Nietzsche.

Specifically... well, now I can't think of any examples off the top of my head - I'll see if I can look up some stuff later. But she was just a terribly mean and heartless person, which doesn't have to be what objectivism is all about by any means.
