    House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, in a statement to The Chronicle, said she had not noticed a decline in Feinstein’s memory . . .

    But then, she wouldn't. :good-morning:

      “Senator Feinstein is a workhorse for the people of California and a respected leader among her colleagues in the Senate,” Pelosi said. “She is constantly traveling between California and the Capitol, working relentlessly to ensure Californians’ needs are met and voices are heard.” (Emphasis mine.)

      but

      Feinstein has not had a town hall since 2017, according to the congressional tracker LegiStorm, and has not held any local events this year.

        Unlike actual workhorses, this one actually does deserve to be sent behind the shed, in minecraft.

      "Representative Pelosi - do you have any comment on Senator Feinstein?"

      "Who?"

      "Senator Diane Feinstein."

      "I... Um..."

      "She's the senior senator from California..."

      "Oh, no. I don't like egg salad."

        “Oh, no. I don’t like egg salad.”

        This is now going to be my response to every question I don't want to answer.

        Boss - "Hey Corgi, can you reach out to this client please?"

        Me - "Oh, no. I don't like egg salad."

      Feinstein: Good morning!

      Pelosi: Sunday morning!

      [brief pause as they smile that blank dementia smile at each other]

      Feinstein: Good morning!

      Pelosi: Sunday morning!
