Boxer and Feinstein: Two pro-choice senators, two views of John Roberts

Boxer also makes ChiFi look intelligent. Boxer has got to be grateful to the voters of Washington for electing Patty (Osama) Bin Murray. Thanks to her, she's only the second dumbest member of the U.S. Senate.

Well, maybe there is hope for California yet! Boxer is a loser.

on is liberal, the other is completely unhinged

I suppose as a Californian, and these are my representatives, that I should read this. But I'll probably have to take a shower afterwards.

Well, though she's a liberal, I kind of like Diane Feinstien. She's that rare thing - an old fashioned liberal. She's to the left, but I believe she can be trusted to sit in the high councils of state. I don't doubt her loyalty to this country.

I can't disagree with you about what you said. I was too young to pay much attention to the events in San Francisco at the time you refer to. But I do recall reading that she may have blown the police's case on the Zodiac killer by revealing information that they were keeping in reserve, something about the shoes and shoe prints. So of course, the killer was forewarned and probably tossed his shoes in the bay. Maybe someones else remembers the details.
