ICTJOCK Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 (edited) Now, I know no politics, but I want to commend this woman for what she did for the gay community. Yes, she probably needed to retire, but she was amazing for her contributions. MSN WWW.MSN.COM will be missed and certainly appreciated.

+ nycman Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 She did lots of great and lots of horrible things. In other words, she was a politician. In my book, dying in office….of old age, was one of her greatest sins. What the fuck is wrong with that generation? Are they really that self-centered and narcissistic? Anyways, RIP From the above article: "Feinstein recalled finding Milk's body and searching for a pulse by putting her finger in a bullet hole." That’s really fucking weird. For the record, that’s not how you look for a pulse in a gunshot victim….ever. pubic_assistance and marylander1940 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EZEtoGRU Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 I have endless respect for the Senator. Like many of them (cough Strom Thurman cough), she stayed too long. But her overall legacy of service is admirable. thomas, ICTJOCK and Marc in Calif 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell, two people were just murdered and you expect perfection? Nice try, but I did not disparage Ms. Feinstein for her actions. I would never criticize any "civilian" in such an overwhelming situation. I merely pointed out it wasn’t the correct thing to do because I don’t want people today repeating the same mistake. + Lucky 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the record, that’s not how you look for a pulse in a gunshot victim….ever. She was a trailblazer! How many of us accomplished so much against so many odds? Please let's be realistic. Well, at least she didn't run from a crime scene, and she had the balls to tell the public what happened. How many of us would react after running into some coworkers dead in the office? She was tougher than most of us, that I can tell you. 8 minutes ago, nycman said: Nice try, but I did not disparage Ms. Feinstein for her actions.

CuriousByNature Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 I thought she died years ago, and I always got her confused with Gloria Allred for some reason. But I'm Canadian, so that might explain it. thomas and + nycman 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You truly think that a generation is at fault is at fault here? Last time I checked, the VOTERS are the ones who choose if/who to vote. Californians age 55 and older make up 35% of the state’s adult population but constitute half (50%) of likely voters. So where are the younger people? That's right, complaining and expecting things to just happen to them instead of actually getting involved and voting. Message: MOVE YOUR ASS AND VOTE. If not, then don't cry, complain or blame others. Marc in Calif 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the record, that’s not how you look for a pulse in a gunshot victim….ever. Actually the article is incorrect in that case - her comment about putting a finger in the bullet hole was made to Larry Craig (yes, THAT Larry Craig) as well, on the senate floor when they debated the 1994 gun control legislation. She didn't say she tried to find a pulse - she was trying to stop the bleeding and find a pulse. You can probably find the clip on YouTube. The source article: "I tried to get a pulse and put my finger through a bullet hole."

As they say, 'only the good die young' His brother and parents all made it to their mid-to-late 90s, so I guess his kids will probably live to 130.
