AM Splash: Oakland Plans ID's for Undocumented Immigrants - KQED

On the verge of retirement ? her replacement will be sworn in Thursday ? [Rep. Lynn] Woolsey, 75, offered an assessment of her career as only she could, dismissing her critics as ?full of sh--,? and making no apologies for being ?a liberal for 20 years in an organization where people would rather you go along to get along.? She is, in many ways, the same outspoken everywoman who shocked the North Coast's political establishment in 1992 by winning what was then the 6th District Congressional seat. She was the longest of long shots, a former welfare mom running against better-known and better-financed opponents. But it was the ?Year of the Woman? in California politics, and Woolsey surfed the wave to victory.
