I have feeling that Boxer will be the most humorous aspect of the day...She no doubt will get twisted up in knots by her own stupidity and Condi will sit and smile and whack her up to the third deck...I can't wait.

The two high-profile Democrats who represent California in the Senate are squaring off over Condoleezza Rice, the president's nominee to be secretary of state.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein, the senior and more moderate of the two, supports Rice and plans to introduce her at her confirmation hearing Tuesday before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
That's where Sen. Barbara Boxer, a member of the committee, will be waiting to grill Rice over the war in Iraq. Boxer maintains that Rice misled the public over the war.
While Feinstein has supported the war, Boxer has been a strong critic of it.
Rice, Bush's national security adviser, lists California as her residence after having served for six years as provost of Stanford University, Feinstein's alma mater. It's customary for nominees to ask home-state senators to introduce them at confirmation hearings.
Feinstein accepted Rice's invitation to introduce her to the committee, and praised her in a statement Friday as "the natural choice to be our country's next secretary of state."
Boxer gave a hint Friday on how she is expected to greet Rice at the Tuesday hearing.
"I personally believe that your loyalty to the mission you were given overwhelmed your respect for the truth," Boxer plans to tell Rice, according to prepared remarks she released Friday.
Rice has been mentioned as a potential candidate for elected office in California - including as a possible opponent to Boxer, who won re-election to a third six-year term in November.
A Rice spokesman, deputy national security adviser Jim Wilkinson, declined to comment on the dispute.
He said Rice "looks forward to the confirmation hearing and a discussion of the key foreign policy priorities facing our nation and the men and women of the State Department."
Feinstein, 71, and Boxer, 64, both San Francisco Bay area Democrats, have been in the Senate since they both were elected in 1992. While they agree on many issues, they have been on opposite sides on such matters as the Iraq war and Bush's Medicare reform bill, which Feinstein supports.
Boxer? You mean Senator Moonbeam, who lost all her credibility this month in a political embarrassment this actually left her in tears? LOL!
I'm wondering if they're deliberately doing a good cop/bad cop deal here. So the party has at least one member on the right side no matter which way it turns out. So much for principle, eh?
If it comes down to a battle of intellect, I hope Condi knows to hold back when facing unarmed opponents.
Don't forget to bring the popcorn :0)
LOL
Sounds like, "Bad cop, worse cop" to me.
I suspect Rice is too classy to leave Boxer looking like the loser in a collision with an SUV. Still it would be justified and satisfying.
Boxer is working on the production of "Abu Guraib, the Sequel". Condi Rice will be given a private showing.
Boxer the one so far left that Adolph and Joe would be happy.
At least Don Quixote didn't have to shave.
Nah, it's not a catfight. It's a classic feminist, liberal set-up. Boxer thinks she and Barbara Lee can "hold the area"; Feinstein is angling to hold her seats on various commissions. Uh, this is called "Bay Area Political Diversity".
I only hope that Rice comes back to CA in '06 to run against Feinstein! We are long overdue for a conservative in the Senate!
Semper Fi,

I sure wish somone could dig up some dirt on boxer. Surely she has employed illegals or something somewhere along the line.
Lord, God,
isn't it past time for Boxerface
to suddenly contract terminal laryngitis?
Or perhaps homicidal halitosis?
Maybe compulsive screeching at such a volume as to make any social contact with other humans impossible?
How about constant obvious foaming at the mouth such that all her friends and associates would rush to take rabies shots and give her a 150 feet wide berth?
How about all the blacks within 150 feet persistently telling her to SHUT HER FACE before they BOXERFACE?
I'd even settle for her getting stuck in an elevator for say 72 hours during the first 3 days of the hearings.
Or perhaps she could wake up suddenly afflicted with sudden onset Alzheimer's in advanced stages. I'm not sure we could tell the difference between her normally and that but it would probably help get her out of the way.
Maybe every time she opened her mouth, massive amounts of popcorn could pour out--indicative of her hot air hot headedness.
Maybe there's an icy patch of sidewalk somewhere she could find racing about to spread her poison?
Maybe she could take a scenic stroll across some Washington bridge and suddenly feel compelled to jump in?
How about every time she showed up in public, everyone for miles around would--when she was in their range--suddenly put a gag in and a black bag over her head.
How about getting her in a stuck elevator with a couple of huge black Aunt Jemima types who would both just slap her face silly every time she uttered a sound.
. . .
It's Sunday, I should stop while I'm behind.
I'm lookng forward to watching Condi destroy this loon. She'll have Boxer crying in 10 mins.
Boxer should stay more focused on more important issues like how Kerry really won Ohio...BWAAHAHAHAHHA!
The hard left further marginalizes itself.
