I have to agree with this. I have had to hold my nose while voting for Feinstein for years (the Republicans always run some far right extremist against her). It's good she's being called on this as she has never got the kind of scrutiny she should.
I don't remember 3rd parties running against her. I will have to pay more attention next time. If there's a Green party candidate I will vote for that. At times I think even a liberal republican (shudder) would be better than she.
I disagree with the CIA and kind of think it should be disbanded. Its done some atrocious political acts in its time.
But I never thought it had poor intelligence gathering ability.
I remember reading early on that there was dissent in the CIA about WMDs. There was no major agreement that Iraq was a danger to us.
There simply wasnt any debate on the management side about the intelligence. Some people wanted an excuse to meet a goal, and they took what they needed and discarded the rest.
she's a brilliant host !

I don't vote for her, though I'm a registered Dem. A rare instance when I vote 3rd party. She does NOT represent me and many Californian's like me.

I don't think she'll run for Senate again, do you?

If she's at all able she will. I don't think she wants to give up her power--and she is powerful.
