Barbara Boxer: The Twilight of the Gods.

Courtesy theRadio Blogger Barbara Boxer sounds the ending theme:

"Why would we give lifetime appointments to people who earn up to $200,000 a year, with absolutely a great retirement system, and all the things all Americans wish for, with absolutely no check and balance except that one confirmation vote. So we're saying we think you ought to get nine votes over the 51 required. That isn't too much to ask for such a super important position. There ought to be a super vote. Don't you think so? It's the only check and balance on these people. They're in for life. They don't stand for election like we do, which is scary. "

Did you hear that clear note announcing the Gotterdammerung? Let's play it again: "So we're saying we think you ought to get nine votes over the 51 required." Strike the torches! Light the funeral pyres!
