Barbara Boxer shocks DC: She won't run for re-election in 2016

California Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer of California said Thursday in a YouTube video that she won't run for re-election in 2016, sparking immediate discussions about an arms race among Golden State liberals to succeed her.

A fearless backer of abortion rights, gun control and environmental regulation, Boxer boasted that 'I have about a thousand accomplishments'

First elected to Congress in 1983 and sent to the Senate ten years later, the 74-year-old Boxer told supporters in the brief video that she doesn't feel old.

'I feel as young as I did when I got elected,' Boxer claimed.

But she would have been 82 if she had won and completed a fifth consecutive Senate term.

Thank goodness! This fruit-loop has been in the way of progress forever!

We need to make sure an electable Republican runs to defeat Moooooochellle in '16....someone in that family will need to make a living as the POSOTUS is term limited (Hoooray!).

Now, we need to get rid of Dianne Frankenstine!

I will never forget when Boxer scolded a military Brigadier General for not addressing her as "Senator Boxer". What a pompous arrogant ass!
