California’s Sen. Barbara Boxer bids farewell to Congress after 33 years
Sacramento Bee ^ | December 7, 2016 | Sean Cockerham

Sen. Barbara Boxer of California bid farewell to Congress on Wednesday after 33 years as a liberal champion, choking up as she read a letter from jazz great Sonny Rollins thanking her for "making life beautiful" for the people she's represented.

"What he said is all I wanted to do, make life beautiful for people," Boxer said in her farewell speech on the Senate floor. "I didn't always succeed ... I can honestly say that I never stopped trying."

Former House colleagues of Boxer including Democratic Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi of San Francisco came to the Senate to pay their respects. Notably absent was California's senior senator, Dianne Feinstein, who Boxer battled this week over Feinstein's measure to send more water to farms south of the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta, potentially harming fish and delta habitat.

One of the biggest lunatics in the nuthouse ... never found a libtard position too radical ... took the lead on issues as far reaching as gun grabbing, baby killing, illegal aliens, land snatching, sexual perversion, and Obozocare ... had the personality of a gorilla with diaper rash in tight shorts ... will be missed like a case of gonorrhea!

One can dream.

Many think that she made life beautiful for herself, her family, and her cronies.

Thanks, Babs, for leaving the joint far worse than what you found it in, viscerally dividing the country between the sane and the deranged and brainwashed moonbats, and enriching yourself and your cronies in the process and sticking the rest of us with a $20 trillion bill (along with unfunded liabilities to fund your Stalinist utopian world ten times that amount).

If she were being replaced by a sane Conservative, it would be reason to celebrate. Instead, the voters of California are sending a deranged, racist loon, the worst Attorney General of any state in the union, an evil bitch that makes Boxer look like Jesse Helms.

Indeed. It seems like these people get in there and it is worse trying to get them quit congress than it is for them to give up the ghost.

Remember Arlen Specter, the Rino who got primaried out and then ran as an Independent? He said he just had to run because he wasn’t going to let a bunch of disgruntled voters throw him out of his livelihood and ‘public service’.

That place literally poisons their souls.
