no thanks to those mass-surveillance apologists in the Senate.”

California Sen. Dianne Feinstein has fled the United States and is seeking political asylum in another country, claiming she fears retribution for criticizing U.S. intelligence agencies.

In a conference call with reporters, Feinstein, who is hiding in an undisclosed location, said she was afraid of what the U.S. government would do to her after she said the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) may have broke several laws when it spied on the Senate intelligence committee.

“Look, you all saw what we’ve done to Edward Snowden, Julian Assange and Chelsea Manning,” she said. “I’m a high-profile target, being a senator and knowing what I know about the U.S. intelligence agencies.

“There are people, shadowy people, who are now calling for my arrest and termination. I’m not safe in the United States anymore: they will hunt me down.”

I insist that it's not possible to satirize anything today...reality will top it, every time.
