WASHINGTON — California Sen. Barbara Boxer held back tears as she delivered her formal farewell to the Senate on Wednesday, capping a four-decade political career as a liberal fighter that began in 1972 on the Marin County Board of Supervisors.
With the surprising exception of Sen. Dianne Feinstein, her California colleague of 24 years, Boxer was joined in the Senate chamber by numerous allies and one-time foes from both parties, along with members of her family, all gathered to wish her well. Boxer reserved a special hug for her longtime friend, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi of San Francisco, who arrived with a dozen House colleagues to hear her send-off.
Feinstein’s absence was glaring because she and Boxer arrived together in the Senate in 1992, symbols of the “Year of the Woman” when they and other women made big inroads into the male-dominated institution. The two have steered clear of disputes during their time in the Senate and put up a united front on state issues.

“I will lift a glass to a Senate minus Boxer.”
You might want to make that a quick shot of straight up vodka ... the lunatic replacing her, Koala Harris (or whatever the hell her name is) makes Boxer look like a Conservative.
Like a tick, they burrow into the body and require minor surgery to remove.
The socialist carpetbaggers still love Kali, that's for sure...
Suddenly...
The Senate smells a LITTLE better...
A few more to go.
Good riddance Boxer, do let the door hit you on the way out. Now to pray for Pelosi and Feinstein to exit, permanently.
GOOD RIDDANCE!!!
Yes, but unfortunately replaced by someone of the same ilk (Kamila Harris).
California changing one Marxist Senator for another. whoopee...
Lie, Lie, Lie
Lie, Lie, Lie, Lie, Lie …
Wonder how many $$$ in her pension
I hope her retirement is uncomfortable and very short.
Now, Boxer will return to California and she’ll stumble into the La Brea Tar Pits where she’ll finally find use in this world as a gas bubble.
Her replacement is even worse. We really need term limits in the Senate. They stay until they die or can see the end.
Goodbye you hideous, stupid witch. In a Senate full of stupidity, she was the stupidest of the stupid.
Boxer leaving the senate certainly is reason for celebration.
“You know, do me a favor - could you call me Senator instead of ma’am? It’s just the thing - I worked so hard to get that title, so I would appreciate it. Yes, thank you.” - Senator Barbara Boxer (D-California) to Brigadier General Michael Walsh, scolding him for politely calling her “ma’am” just as he politely calls men “sir.” Arrogance beyond belief.
Grandma Gaga (Madonna) would say it is because women hate women!
That must've spoiled daddy's fun after she entered the world.
Well...Bye!
