re: #207 Nerdy Fish

On a less cynical note: We may begrudge the events leading up to her passing, and wish she had retired in a timely fashion, in full possession of her faculties. The fact remains that she had a long and extremely distinguished career as one of the premier female politicians of American history. The final hours of her era should not be darkened by the effects of her extreme age; she died doing what she loved, what she knew best, what she believed was right.

This.

My thoughts exactly: after Dianne Feinstein’s lengthy and remarkable career in state and national politics, it just seems a shame that she is going to be remembered (in the short term, anyway) mainly for the twilight of that career, and that mainly negatively.

RIP.
