1. She was an unspoken heroine wasn't she?

I never really knew her until you guys started posting her moments

Damn... we lost a good one

2. Oh, far from unspoken. After the 04 election, when everyone

thought the Dems were robbed, Tubbs Jones and Boxer were the only two people (IIRC) in Congress to stand up and ask for an inquiry. They were shot down, but that took a lot of bravery.

I don't think she was appreciated enough; maybe she will be now.

3. I guess I meant unsung...

Mixing metaphors!

4. Catch it if you can. She had our best interests at heart. nt
