The next day Feinstein was still stewing and admitted as much. She’s been on the shelf way past her expiration date. The Senate is full of old fools and I am convinced half of them are on meds that mess up their mind. Voinovich, Pelosi, Arlen Spector being fine examples. John McCaine too
In many House and Senate Offices the senior staff does 99% of the real work such as reading & analyzing a bill and telling the Rep or Senator how to vote and what to say. Also dealing with angry constitiuents and brushing them off because the man our Reps and Senators really wants to see is the lobbyist and preferably with a satchel of campaign fund cash. The Rep or Senators job is just to show up on Capital Hill sometimes, ask questions at hearings that will get him TV face time, to see/network with money laden lobbyists all the time, and to go out for lunch and at night to /network and do dirty deals with the other dirty denizens of DC
Good! It's well overdue that someone took that witch down a few notches.
Bears repeating:
