“Send California's Senator "Flip-flop*" Feinstein's grandaughter into the military come 2010 when she turns 18 (via one of the three service academies is OK)
*-she wanted a withdrawal date from Afghanistan before she supported Westmorela...oops McChryistal's recommendations”

“Never overestimate the intelligence of the American electorate. Also I want to see action in 2012...when progressives like Democrats.com go after Dianne Feinstein”
Lemeritus replied on Nov 18, 2009 at 23:20:52
“Progressives have already gone after DiFi. In 2007, the Courage Campaign, MoveOn.org, Progressive Democrats of America, CrooksandLiars.com and over 40 Democratic Clubs and progressive organizations from across California. sought to censure Feinstein. It never even made it to the Resolutions Committee. Why? As pol Bob Muholland said, “Sometimes people [read: progressives] can’t understand the big picture.” That's where we were in California two years ago... that's where I fear we are nationally today.”

And I was hoping he would have been nominated 50 years later for "Waitress" but no luck (then again Keri Russell didn't even get a Globe nom; please don't tell me there were 5 better female leading performances in a comedy/musical that year than Keri's) But I digress”
