I heard Rush Limbaugh play snippets of Boxer’s ‘Stim’ interview too. It grated everyone in my house to the point that we frequently mocked it: ‘the Stim’. I wonder if she needs a ‘stim’ at bedtime or something.
Yes, that’s the first time I’ve ever heard anyone call it “the stim.” She shortens it, just as one might do to with the name of a friend or a pet. So she’s showing her affection for it.
