The Fetterman avatar is no longer the most grotesque apparition in Congress.
Don't be alarmed, but Dianne Feinstein seems to have forgotten being absent from the Capitol for three months
When [a] reporter asked her what the response from her colleagues had been like since her return, though, the conversation took an odd turn.
"No, I haven't been gone," she said.
OK.
"You should follow the — I haven't been gone. I've been working."
When asked whether she meant that she'd been working from home, she turned feisty.
"No, I've been here. I've been voting," she said. "Please. You either know or don't know."

Although Feinstein, 89, insisted to reporters that “no! I only had a cold!” — denying even her widely-reported shingles infection — a spokesperson from the Senator’s office confirmed yesterday that, in addition to shingles, Feinstein is also suffering from brain-swelling encephalitis AND Ramsay Hunt syndrome, just like Justin Bieber, causing facial paralysis and, ominously, “other symptoms.”
Do I need to show you all the studies linking encephalitis and Ramsay Hunt to the injections?

89-year-old Democrat Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) reportedly became confused when she saw that Vice President Kamala Harris was presiding over the Senate for a tie-breaker.
A New York Times report documents the extent of Feinstein’s cognitive limitations and fueled anger over her return to the Senate.
According to the report, Feinstein expressed confusion when she saw that Harris, a former California senator, was presiding over the Senate, an official function of the vice president.
The incident occurred last year in one of the few times Harris cast a vote in the Senate to break a tie vote between Republicans and Democrats.
“What is she doing here?” Feinstein asked an aide about Harris.
The new report details the difficulties the ailing lawmaker faces as she continues her work in the Senate.
The NY Times outlines the many functions that Feinstein’s staff is playing as she returns to work after bouts with shingles and encephalitis earlier this year.
Critics have decried Feinstein and said her reticence to retire has stymied Biden’s efforts to fill judicial vacancies with left-wing judges.
She's so fucking old, the injections are hardly a factor.
We are ruled by the ancient and the infirm.
They called Feinstein to vote and she just started talking. About what? Who knows.
Immediately, the aides beside Feinstein tried to interrupt her to get her to vote.
Just say aye... Just say aye... Just say aye!
She was just going to ramble on and on, she had no idea that there was a vote happening, she just wanted to talk about her vote.
How are we governed by these people?
It's so sad watching my country decline not by years but by weeks and days.
Speaking of failing public officials, aging Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-Ca.), was briefly hospitalized after taking a tumble in her San Francisco home, right before she was scheduled to give a speech about her memories of being a Senator during the French-American War. Okay, I made up that last part.
But don’t worry, she’s doing great! Supporters say she’ll be sprinting up the steps to the Senate building in no time.
Does anyone else suspect that one reason we are ten seconds away from war with every other world superpower is because the average age of our federal ruling class is 103? How can a Senator who falls down hold up the country — in wartime?
Well, I suppose on the positive side, if she fell down it means she must have been standing upright, at least for a minute. I guess that’s some kind of progress.
💉 The biggest news yesterday was the timely passing of Shingles survivor Dianne Feinstein, 90, who was also a tireless employment advocate for out-of-work Chinese espionage tradespersons. Ms. Feinstein was also a wonderful actress, twice nominated for a Daytime Emmy for her portrayal of an addled, deaf United States Senator in a charming period piece set in the 2023’s, filmed as a live-reality tragi-comedy, a masterful allegory sharply comparing Ms. Feinstein’s decrepit condition to the failing U.S. government as a whole.
But politics waits for no great-great-great grandmother. The jockeying for Feinstein’s senatorial replacement started even before her waterproof, reinforced Senate seat began to cool off. Under the rules, California Governor and stealth presidential candidate Gavin Newsom is allowed to appoint her replacement, and social media is even more aflame than usual with wild speculation.
The most popular possibilities include disgraced Representative Adam “Shifty” Schiff (D-Ca.), who has worn out his welcome on that his of Congress and has started shiftily sidling toward the Senate. A more creative theory involves Vice President Kamala “He Haw” Harris resigning to take Feinstein’s now-vacant Senate seat, Biden appointing Gavin Newsom as Kamala’s replacement as V.P., and then Biden stepping down to allow Newsom to become the Resident. Whereupon, if Newsom were certifiably insane, he could then re-appoint Harris as VP.
And Bob’s your uncle, all lefty problems solved!
That amazing possibility is coincidentally supported by Newsom’s 2021 vow to appoint a “black woman” to Feinstein’s seat. According to Reuter’s fact-checking department, He-Haw Harris is black:
Because, in today’s democrat party, melanin is the best indicator of qualification to run the country; it’s even better than actual qualifications.
Another dark horse candidate is supersized "body-positivity" model and rap artist Lizzo, who also appears to be in the running. Well, I guess it would be more accurate to say she’s in the walking. Slowly.
For their part, democrats are suggesting California’s woke (black) Representative for California's 13th congressional district, Barbara Lee, and former woke law professor and U.S. Representative for California's 45th congressional district, Katie Porter (white). We’ll see.
Whichever, Newsom finds himself under the proverbial gun to act fast, since the Senate’s majority hangs on a razor’s edge and could conceivably pass a hated Republican budget if Feinstein’s seat stays open for too long.
