DiFi rode the murder of her boss to the pinnicle of the Senate, and then used her influence to try to prohibit firewarms to people like you and me while she was able to obtain the unobtainable CCW permit in California.

She is a mortal enemy of gun-owners.

Get over yourself.

Stay home and put that foot up on the ottoman, Senator. No need to get involved in the chaos that will happen in Denver. Get well quick.

With dem’s it is about race. Sen Difi could never stand in public and endorse a black man.

It is amazing the lengths that some people will go to in order to avoid unpleasantness . . .

Probably a good thing she’s not attending. She wouldn’t be able to run when the riots start.

LOL!!!!

Can't DiFi take a car or train to Denver and keep her foot on a nice pillow?

Right. This time of the year, a trip from San Fran over the mountains to Denver is really quite pleasant (no snows, no mountain passes to get through).

Very feeble. If DiFi REALLY wanted to go, she'd hire herself a Limousine Liberal Driver and get there!

I got a good chuckle out of your humor post.

Then I thought about the illegal way Edwards Lovers Dad kills his horses.

Better for you to shut up now, before the admins take you to the shed.

Sounds like you are closet liberal with too thin a skin.

The Airlines of the past would have accomadated her medical needs.

But now adays she would have to buy the pillow and the extra seat space to elevate her foot.

Not to mention if she used a WC she might get left on the tarmac.

Yup, a closet liberal and why I worked for Reagan when he first ran for Gov.
Why I have been to many counter demonstrations against the Code Pinkos. anti war rallys, and have countered 50,000 Mexican marchers here. Where were you sonny.

Just wondering, what are the consequences of flying with a broken ankle?

Taking off ain't so hard; it's landing on them that's the problem.

Sen. Feinstein breaks ankle, will skip convention

The headline writers missed an opportunity with this one. She's not likely to SKIP the convention with a broken ankle, she's more likely to SIT IT OUT.
