Dianne Feinstein appreciation thread

[Polybius]

I for one welcome her back, and appreciate all that she has done for everyone over the years. I am glad that she didn't step down. Welcome back Senator, we love you!

2. One of the greatest Democratic Senators of all time.

Those who unfairly carp at her for taking the moment she needed to recuperate from shingles, would go well to look at her sterling record of progressive accomplishments.

I'm proud of our Senator.

Welcome back!!!

3. I will never forget this day. I was listening live on the radio when she announced this.

10. I saw this live on television.

I was living across the bay in Berkeley as a college student at the time.

The whole areas was already in a state of shock due to the recent mass-suicides/murders in Jonestown, where most People's Temple members were from the Bay Area.

The murders of Milk and Moscone were a profound blow locally. Feinstein stepped up to offer courageous leadership. My admiration for her has never waivered.

26. Same here.

I was in the Bay Area then as well. She was an incredible leader at a very rough time.

5. Dianne Feinstein talks about the death of Mayor Moscone and Harvey Milk and other parts of her life.

She will be remembered as a very courageous woman.

6. I honor and love her for her lifetime magnificent service. Separate from service by stepping aside.

8. Welcome back, Senator!

9. I really think people who haven't should look up her record so they understand

what some admire her for -- even those who'd prefer to have had two Bernies instead.

I'm glad she's back too and hope she remains to accomplish what she presumably has stayed in for.

Go, Senator Feinstein.

12. So glad to see Senator Feinstein back!

Anyone who thinks a woman and her doctors can’t figure out what her health status is can go back to their newbie congressional seats now and worry why they don’t get the public’s votes like she does.

13. Me too!

I agree with those who were "there." So was I. If you lived through it, you will never forget the deaths of Harvey Milk and Mayor Moscone - and Diane Feinstein's strength through it all. She was/is the very definition of courage and patriotism.

I would never in a million years say I always agree with her 100% BUT - and this is the important part - she was THERE! She stepped up in the most traumatic of times. She showed bravery, and she showed humanity. To those who've been wanting to whisk her off to the old age home, I say SHAME.

God bless you, Senator Feinstein. And thank you for your coorage, and your years of service to this country. Welcome back!

14. And glad she is up on her feet!

She is a great lady but maybe her return will give us some time to replace her.

[ashredux]

15. Yes, she is an icon of sorts. She broke a lot of ground and should be applauded for that.

But like all great athletes, you need to know when to step away from the game.
