I suggested, to a friend in D.C., that California only has one senator for the next six years. Barbara Boxer seems to have earned herself pariah status with her Ohio recount and her snarling personal attack on our Secretary of State (I saw it on C-Span). The only Calfiornia senator left is Diane Feinstein.
My friend disabused me. Boxer has been totally ineffective for the past six years with her ideological mean spiritedness. What, he says, is true now is that when she writes a letter to a department, they won’t even bother to read it much less answer.
Barbara Boxer has no reason to get up in the morning. The largest state in the nation is the loser.
