Diane Feinstein quote

[oldpink]

This is straight from the horse's a**, er I mean mouth.

"If I could’ve gotten 51 votes in the Senate of the United States for an outright ban, picking up every one of them — Mr. and Mrs. America turn ’em all in — I would have done it. I could not do that. The votes weren’t here."

Beat me to it.
We don't need to make up quotes or take them out of context when we have plenty of in context quotes of her on camera, totally unable to deny that she said them.
And who could forget how her even more obnoxious colleague, Babs Boxer, actually scolded a uniformed general who was in front of her committee for some reason for answering her questions, addressing her with a term that she deemed impolite?: "Ma'am."
I kid you not.

After reading the columnist quote at the end, I was suspicious right away. I thought "There's no way a piece like that would be published in the LA Times" and I was right. I'd love to see Feinstein's party relegated to permanent minority status, but people were saying that about Repubs a few years ago, and we see how that worked out.

Well whoever wrote the news article is a ****ing genius and I'd like him to write my obituary!
seeing those dumb *****es stiring a cauldron is exactly how I picture them.

This is the same woman who went off on an Army general officer for calling her "ma'am" instead of "senator" during a committee hearing:

Sen. Boxer to officer: Don't call me ma'am - Washington Times

Edited to add: Well, I jacked that one up. It was Feinstein's buddy, Barabara Boxer.

 

[Bill of Rights]

I'd like to think my response would have been, "Well, MA'AM, as I see it, you have a choice of "Ma'am", or "Sir". Which would you prefer?"

Of course, since she's from CA, the likely answer would be something like "Xir"

ETA: I suppose the problem might be that "Ma'am" is a shortened form of "Madam", and maybe Mrs. Boxer doesn't want to be confused with Xaviera Hollander (who for many years, penned the Penthouse column "Call me Madam".)

...what?

Hey, don't judge me. I was young once.

Trusting Snopes is not wise. Snopes is run by a 'progressive liberal' so there is a slant on most 'facts' checked by that site.

According to Facebook.

Hmmm....OK. You want the job?

Maybe he's being too dismissive, but it's also true that Snopes has recently been caught being less than accurate on several contentious issues, whether intentionally or not.
The best way to go would be to use multiple sources.
You wouldn't go to Sean Hannity for confirmation that Obama was the greatest president ever, and you wouldn't go to MSDNC for confirmation that Trump is the next Abraham Lincoln.

 

[Alpo]

Agree. Multiple sources, where feasible.

Well, that was a quickie.. I still smiled..

That's what she said.


Or did she? Maybe I should check snopes.com
