Dianne Feinstein: my house is off-limits to my guards
Let them eat cake, eh?

Bushed: A resident of San Francisco's Pacific Heights neighborhood whose regular exercise regimen includes walking the Lyon Street steps was startled the other night when a man popped out of the bushes right in front of the home owned by Sen. Dianne Feinstein and megabucks husband Richard Blum.

It was a security guard who was keeping watch over the senator's home, which is also monitored by some eyes in the sky - cameras atop the house's roof.

The guard promptly apologized, telling our walker, "I have to go off camera and go to the bathroom in the bushes."

"That makes sense," the neighbor replied. "But don't they provide a proper bathroom or breaks for you? Or let you go in the house?"

"No," the guard answered.

With the kind of money DiFi and her war profiteer hubby spent for their palazzo, you'd think they'd install a guardhouse so these guys wouldn't have to piss in the bushes - but I guess that would break up their lovely gardens.

1. the god mother of gun control has a security guard for protection.
Ahhhh... the power of privilege and authority.

Hypocritical and typical that she would deny the right to self defense to her subjects.

10. they do but I don't think that would be a harsh enough punishment
put her in a prison with all of the poor women that did stuff to survive and see how she fares.

11. And yet the serfs keep sending her back.
Outrage after outrage, decade after decade, she steals from them, abuses them, even kills them, and they still send her back. Are they just "stuck on stupid"?

4. What??!!
Treat DiFi as a shy, fragile and mysterious flower that cannot sustain any criticism? Never. Dealing with reasonable criticism is all part of equality.

6. She carried a gun
while working on gun control. She and her husband have done nicely with their beautiful home paid for by the blood of American troops and innocent Iraqis.:puke:

7. How did that become HER garden??? During the famous house renovations
fiasco old Di Fi and hubby Richard (have weapons, will sell to anyone) got in trouble because that was/is a public garden and the had their work crews tear it up.

What happened, did the city bend over for her and give her the land?

8. I was impressed with her for too long. Now, I wish she would be voted out.
Edited on Sun Mar-30-08 12:46 PM by higher class
Being a friend to AT & T, Verizon, So Bell to gaining data on us to aid Republicans is so offensive that I can't bear to think about it. Friend of Republicahs, DiFi. Who would have thought. There is no honor is some of our female representatives in the Party. I am so disappointed with myself for writing so bluntly about my disrespect for her and having to back away from my inital impressions of her as a Dem fighter. My first impressions were nonsense.

14. She knows which party she belongs to...
but she also knows what it takes to get elected in California. Having an official (R) behind her name would just be too much for the peoples.

Besides, everyone knows no Democrat would ever pull strings for their arms dealer spouse. Only the Republics do that.
