So true. But I do give Specter credit for holding regular town hall meetings, unscripted. I attended two of them. According to a staffer, he made it a point to hold these meetings at least once every two years in every county of the commonwealth.

I actually felt sympathetic toward him when a woman was berating him with a question about why he didn't support a feminist written one-size-fits-all policy for national divorce law. He tried to explain why certain laws (including divorce) were the purview of the states and the concept of federalism.

Honestly, I could say that I would have had better luck explaining the concept of long division to a mule. The woman kept pushing this meme to the point that most of the audience could understand why her ex-husband divorced her and finally Specter said "Lady, you've had your question and my answer and now it is time to give someone else a turn!" There was a thunderous round of applause from the audience.

I’d bet that woman is the spiritual mother of all the “Karens” we must endure today.
