Second only to Barbara Boxer ‘Please don’t call me ma’am. It’s Senator. I worked very hard for that title’.
I lived in California when she was first elected. She floated a rumor that the Republican she was running against, Bruce Nathanson IIRC, was seen coming out of a strip club. No proof, but it tanked him. THAT was her hard work. And this was when Republicans occasionally got elected to a state office in California.
