Rolling on the floor laughing

Reading Raffique Shah (incidentally one of my favourite writers) today, I saw within his article this following passage:
But taking the cake, icing et al, is the UNC's Kamla Persad-Bissessar. I have heard about the wrath of a woman scorned. I have seen the venom and prowess of a woman horned. Never before, though, have I witnessed a woman shafted by two men at the same time, in front of 40,000 people (their figures, not mine), and take it with a smile! The woman never moaned or groaned or cussed or scratched their eyes out. Amazing, I tell you. She swallowed pride, prejudice and womanhood, all in a few gulps.
She did say, though, that she was a "team player".... .... She may not be adept with the bat, but that woman is a wizard with balls. She can swing them any which way...
Ah, such eloquence! I'm still rolling on the floor, laughing.
