He knew Republicans could use her as a Trojan Horse, suggesting she was moderate when she is anything but, in a cynical appeal to the growing Asian population in Orange County. It worked.

14. So, a plant. They're getting good at it. Still.

[SunSeeker]

17. Yup. She's dumb as a box of rocks. But parrots the party line well. nt

3. Republicans have raised hypocrisy to an art form

5. She should resign. How embarrassing!

[OrangeJoe]

7. Never happen

These people are never embarrassed, never apologize, never see the hypocrisy of their statements or actions and never resign a position of power. Their world view is that everybody owes it to them to do what they say because they are richer and better than you and me.

[SunSeeker]

12. Yup. That scumbag (with her svengali husband) will have to be voted out.

Hopefully this time her Democratic opponent, Harley Rouda, will run a better campaign and not run away from the Democratic Party.

10. There was a press conference from the cleanup folks

and the media would not let them forget that there are going to be questions that will need to be answered about the response and how the hell this happened.

[SunSeeker]

11. She's having a fundraiser on a yacht in Huntington Beach, where the oil spill happened.

It's like a sick joke.

[not fooled]

15. The oil slick must be far enough away

to not interfere with the festivities?

Wow, talk about bad timing.

[SunSeeker]

20. Nope. Huntington Harbour is right off the ocean where the spill occured.

Huntington Harbour is basically a series of man-made canals with multi-million dollar homes that feature boat slips. The canals funnel into a channel that empties into the Pacific Ocean at Huntington Beach where the spill hit. A lot of those boats were out on Saturday to watch a Blue Angels airshow at Huntington Beach, and many went right through the oil slick, coming back to their slips in the canals with toxic goo stuck to their bows.

Here’s one of those boats, in a picture taken on Saturday and posted on the local Nextdoor website. Look at all the toxic oil and tar on its bow!
