Yes. She's one of many who have been in Congress way too long. But the good people of California keep re-electing her. That's what I find funny about everyone carping about term limits - what they really mean is term limits for somebody else's representative, but also "stop me before I reflexively vote again for the incumbent."

It's too good of a gig for many. Great salary, great benefits, great pension, and should you "retire" early, go to work for a lobby firm making half a million a year.

As much as the ***** about each other in the public, the parties cover each other's asses behind the scenes. Just look at all the hush money being paid out over harassment claims.
