    I actually met her once back in the 90s (bojack title song begins) on vacation in DC. She let me and my family into the Senate as observers when we mentioned we were from the Bay Area, which was kinda cool.

    But that was two and a half decades ago. Since then she had gone very senile, and it became evident in recent years that the only thing that’d make her relinquish her position was death. So here we are.

    So: thanks for letting me sit in on the federal legislative process that one time, but holy fuck lady you should have retired a long goddamn time ago.

      The craziest part about this is that you saw her when she was still at an age that would be considered retirement age…
