Or even better, make public fun of her. Political satire has long tradition in European newspapers. Here are a couple of ideas for newspaper / T-shirt pictures:

A map of the Europe on which an EU patent advocate is painting a huge target / bullseye. On the sky there's an intercontinental patent litigation nuke dropping to the target.
Title: "McCarthy painting the EU IP rights landscape for the years to come".

A split image with lawyer on the left and thief on the right. Lawyer has a suitcase behind his back and thief a crowbar. Lawyer talks to a politician and thief to a car owner.
Left title: "Advocating EU patents",
Right title: "On whose best interests?"
