Barbara Boxer Takes Center Stage (Mainstream Media Wonders if She's Going Nuts)

Just a few weeks into the new congressional session, and many are beginning to wonder aloud, 'What is up with Sen. Barbara Boxer?'

In the first week of the session, Boxer led the US Senate challenge over certification of the Ohio vote, citing irregularities.

In the end, it was she standing alone against certification, with 74 of her colleagues-- including Ted Kennedy, Hillary Clinton and 33 other Democrats favoring the count.

Last week, Boxer was all over Coldoleeza Rice at her confirmation hearing to be President Bush's new secretary of state.

Boxer all but called Rice a liar over her statements leading up to the war in Iraq as President Bush's national security advisor.

Repeatedly, Dr. Rice asked appealed to Boxer to turn down the attacks. Boxer never relented, and she with Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts, cast the only votes against sending Rice's nomination to the Senate floor.

Boxer said in an interview last week that she is not the 'new diva of demagoguery'. 'I was just doing my job, like I've always done it before.'

Boxer is now steadily gaining as the voice of unyielding Democratic opposition.

Hilary is a political hack from the VERY far left.

Not even pink underwear wacko like Boxer could make PIAPS look moderate.

She must think that 57 percent of the Bezerkley vote entitles her to a moonbat liberal mandate.

Boxer's male domestic partner needs to wrap some Midol in a piece of cheese for her.

My guess is someone has to make PIAPS look like sort of a democratic centrist.

Boxer must be getting some kind off huge payout from the Hillarys DNC 2008 campaign fund for attacking Condi like that

Boxer quote: "I told them election night - and I didn't know how prophetic this was - that if I had to stand alone, I will do it. I am not afraid"

Senator Boxer should have added: " because I am insane."

Watch Hillary, she is triangulating and posing as a centrist on some things that are popular with some Republicans and independents.

Boxer is carrying the water for the wild eyed loony left right now...She looks and sounds the part perfectly.

It won't work, IMO.

The charade will be exposed for what it is -- unless somehow the left manages to censor the Internet.
