Ah, California...

Not long ago, California Senator Dianne Feinstein said (in the context of pushing her gun control bill, which failed) “All vets are mentally ill and government should prevent them from owning firearms”.  She didn't actually say those words, but that is how many understood her meaning.

Columnist Burt Prelutsky had this thought:

Frankly, I don't know what it is about California, but we seem to have a strange urge to elect really obnoxious women to high office. I'm not bragging, you understand, but no other state, including Maine, even comes close. When it comes to sending left-wing dingbats to Washington, we're Number One. There's no getting around the fact that the last time anyone saw the likes of Barbara Boxer, Dianne Feinstein, Maxine Waters, and Nancy Pelosi, they were stirring a cauldron when the curtain went up on 'Macbeth'. The four of them are like jackasses who happen to possess the gift of blab. You don't know if you should condemn them for their stupidity or simply marvel at their ability to form words.

No other state even comes close.  Ouch.  What a sad statement that is...
