Barbara Boxer

Ever notice how Congresspeople don't often lay it all out and let 'em have it, until they have already announced that they are leaving office?  Too bad no one seems to have the guts to speak the truth while they are still active in their jobs.  WTF is wrong with this country?

Here's Barbara Boxer, retiring Democratic Senator from California, telling off the GOP about this Department of Homeland Security potential shutdown. Although, I can pretty much guarantee you that hardly any Republicans will even hear what Boxer had to say.  At the very end, you can hear Barbara question whether there is a quorum, which means there may be one or two Senators in the chamber.  

Our politics is broken alright, and the GOP and the Tea Party want to smash it further.
