She is a bad penny and will be back. Didn't Clinton appoint her as an ambassador someplace after she lost her last election?
She lost in 2002, President Bush was in office. You're thinking of Carol Moseley Braun, who was elected Senator from Illinois, IIRC, in 1992 (year of the woman - barf). She lost her re-election bid in 1998, and Clinton appointed her as an ambassador, I forget to where.
