Had a close conservative friend when I lived in the S.F. Bay Area who because of her job had talked often with Senator Feinstein. She told me that yes, she is liberal, but one you could actually talk to and reason with, and an extremely gracious lady.
Somehow, I don’t picture Boxer and Pelosi having those traits...
I always had it somewhere in my mind that Fienstein was a step up from Boxer and Pelosi. Sure seems so.
