Complete Headline: After 24 years working together, Feinstein and Boxer say goodbye to their 'Thelma and Louise' partnership

In 1992, Dianne Feinstein and Barbara Boxer pitched themselves to California voters as the dynamic duo, as "Thelma and Louise," as "Cagney and Lacey."

They were trying to convince voters to do something no state had ever done: Elect two women to represent them in the U.S. Senate.

Their different personalities - and governing styles - could have posed a problem. Instead, their contrasts, in many cases, became a strength.

It wasn’t a partnership. It was a cabal.

“After 24 years of working against the nation,” is a more accurate title.

More like Nurse Ratched and Annie Wilkes.

Doesn’t Boxer still hold the record for bouncing the most personal checks when she was in the House? Why does that never appear in her resume?

Just like Thelma and Louise, they can drive off a cliff for all I care. And take Pelosi with them.

They showed Americans that two female senators could be just as Godless and corrupt as male ones.

To be fair, Pelosi is from Baltimore, MD and Boxer is from the Bronx, New York. Dianne Feinstein is the most intelligent of the trio, but she is just as, if not more, corrupt.

Normally, I would say “one down, one to go”, except Boxer’s replacement is just as bad as she was.

These old hags are the single best argument for term limits I have ever seen. What a worthless pair to twits.

Liberals seem to think that Apple and Google and Facebook would never have existed without California's Democrat politicians fighting off Republican attempts to destroy them.

It's a religion - you can't really bring facts to the discussion and expect them to be recognized. You will be the the one called a crazy fanatic.
