If only we had been blogging in 2001, perhaps we would have found Senator Barbara Boxer’s* 2001 Senate Financial Disclosure Report before this week. From page 16/55:

You know who: she was on CNN today.

Xeni Jardin of BoingBoing.net travelled to SF for the opening of the new Lucas campus at the Presidio, and reported that California’s most obnoxious statewide elected official is annoying even when her mouth is shut, she’s sitting down, and cameras are pointed the other way:
