(7,321 posts)Here was this Democratic Congress member, for several years promoting the Patriot Act, Homeland Security etc, NSA etc etc, when all along she was working for the Israeli government. A government which despite so called relations as allies, has sanctioned and engaged in espionage (perpetrated against the U.S.) "intrigue" for years.
I recall tireless campaign efforts to unseat her and get elected an actual progressive in a very progressive district of Los Angeles, but to no avail. Pretty much revealing just how rigged and corrupt our "election" system actually is.
She was on all the cable shows daily running her stupid mouth about bullshit benefits of the patriot act etc. etc. She's someone I certainly don't miss, but unfortunately there are too many others just like her in Congress.
