    Is it feminist to put her corpse in a wheelchair and shades with a little draw string on her hand so she can press the vote button?

      Yes but she'd have to physically be in DC.

      I seriously think she's incapacitated and non compos mentis and the chance of her actually making it to DC is zero. I wonder how much longer this charade will continue. I'm going to go postal if I see yet more lying Feinstein PR that says something like "The senator's aides find attacks on the senator's mental abilities to be sexist." Really? Why has she not spoken for herself in months?

    I’ve even admired her since she was mayor of San Francisco.

    What a fucking ghoul, Feinstein is almost solely responsible for the inflated housing prices in the bay area and worked hand in hand with her real estate mogul husband to drive out low income renters.

    This whole interview is infuriating, and at the very least the person giving it does a good job making them look like an idiot

      DC reporters always act as if they are doing the public a gigantic service by transcribing whatever PR the pols answer with. What the reporters should do is ask Biden and each and every dem senator the same question...

      "The only acceptable answers are: yes, no, or maybe. Do not obfuscate. In your opinion - is Senator Feinstein senile? Do not obfuscate. Yes, no, or maybe?"

    i remember at least a year ago now when concerns over feinstein's mental capacity were again in the news, one of her staffers said something like 1/3 or 1/4 of the senate is at her level or worse mentally, which is probably not true but the fact that it's even plausible says a lot

    More context...

    When I asked about the three Democratic senators who’d told the Chronicle that they didn’t think Feinstein was mentally up to it, you insinuated that there were primary shenanigans going on. But these are other Democratic senators. Am I right to assume that you don’t think those claims have merit, and that you think she’s fully mentally functional?

    I think that she has some challenges, and she is not the only one in the Senate.

    I don’t know if that’s the most heartening thing for voters to hear, or a great defense of Dianne Feinstein.

    I guess what I would say is that, for me, this is about respecting an iconic woman leader. She’s making choices. She made the choice not to run again, which she decided is in the best interests of her state and of herself. I respect that, and I’m not interested in further analyzing this. Various people have challenges in their lives, various people have various kinds of challenges, and I’m supportive of people handling those how they think they should. That’s enough.

    People who waited in line at the telegram store to grab the new rotary phone drops should not be in government.

    In bad country, the people ostensibly there to represent the people and to make laws are obscenely rich, out of touch, and literally senile.
