It's always reminded me of the old Gillette commercial theme from the '50's.

Sorry but I adored Boxer and have always been lukewarm at best toward Feinstein, who carried much more than her share of water for the George W. Bush crime family.

Expect "Spend more time with family" to figure prominently in the press release.

That's my point, the Speaker has his presidency only due to the rigged election. Where the post exists only due to illegality no one for saw what to do.

Isn't it the AG next after Speaker (Limey who can't be bothered to google)?

I think they were afraid of Trump's cousin marrying, drooling idiot base, rising up against them. I'm still hoping that Trump manages to rip the GOP in half. It would be the only good thing he'd ever done. I'd consider him a decent president if he managed to split that party in to two groups - the insane, and the truly insane.

I get that, I really do... and it's completely reasonable to disagree over policy, but the reflexive sliming of anyone who takes a position even slightly to the right of the Sainted Bernard gets right up my fucking nose.
