Boxer's Anti-Rice Bombast Backfires

Byrd and Boxer between the sheets? Now, there's a sight I hope to never have imprinted in my mind! Actually, I really enjoy Boxer's public display of her Tourette's Syndrome.

[Red Badger]

TOXIC BO(T)OXER...........

[Red Badger]

We could call this "The Vagina Monologue" ......

[MadAnthony1776]

Don't spit fire if you don't want to get burnt by the reply.
Boxer is living proof that chemicals are bad for the body and soul.

[KC_Conspirator]

I heard this crap today. What a joke! She's a victim? I find that laughable. Boxer makes any politician look elegant and statesmenlike by comparison.

[peacebaby]

LOL - very very funny!

[mugs99]

Hey! Who needs to balance a checkbook when the taxpayers cover unlimited overdrafts

Yes, we the taxpayers shelled out $47,417 to cover her bad checks written to hotels, restaurants and gift shops. If any of us would have done the same as her we would have been sent to prison!

[N. Theknow]

A Black Marine Gunnery Sargent I spoke with said that Boxer's treatment of Rice rang in his ears like, "How dare you turn on the Democratic Party you uppity C*** B****!"

[TheOtherOne]

Wishful thinking, didn't the inept Repubs kick Davis out of office.

Nope, that was most of california that tossed Davis...he was a loser to people of all parties.

[Cobra64]

I refer to Boxer as The Pooch.

Barbara Boxer is an insufferable witch.

Liberating Iraq was the right thing to do and the world is a better place for Saddam being gone.

That being said, I cannot say that members of the Bush administration were completely upfront with the American people regarding the threat posed by Saddam preceding the war. I think they did see the need to sell this war to the American public and overstated the threat. There is a fine line sometimes between deceiving people and not being upfront. I don't know where on that line they fell - either way it does leave a bad taste in my mouth because I don't fully trust them now.

[Canticle_of_Deborah]

and where the Republican Party is far too inept to oust her from office.

I can't add anything more.

[Mark]

That threat has been around a long time. Clinton, Clinton's CIA, France, Germany, England, and even John Kerry said the same thing. The war resolution and Bush's speech had many more reasons than mere WMD.

[colorado tanker]

Boxer's "grilling" of Rice was entirely appropriate and deserves widespread publicity in the MSM. I hope she keeps up the tough questioning, especially when minority candidates are before her committee.

(I hope she continues to show the American people the "moonbat wing" of the Dim party is still in charge of that asylum.)

[Radix]

The USA was way overdue in taking this thug (Saddam) out. It was the right thing to do, and they (Administration) should revel in it.

As far as I am concerned, Syria should be next, and then Iran which will likely collapse internally (with some covert help.) Probably, Israel will take out Syria. It cannot happen soon enough for me.

The North Koreans should also be slammed.

Idiots on the left act as if violence doesn't solve problems. Violence solves everything and we should simply get it over with ASAP.

We are the superpower and we should take advantage of it now before it is too late.

I am not a war monger but it is simply in our best interests and in the interests of posterity to clean up this planet while we still can.

[chiefqc]

Like I have said before, Sen. Boxer Shorts had her head handed to her.

Word to Boxer Shorts, "When you engage in a battle of wits you should have more than an empty head".

[Mr. Jeeves]

Her harangue would be little more than an exercise in self-serving futility, one that would ultimately prove embarrassing - not for Rice, but for Boxer, her party and the state she represents.

Mr. Weinkopf misunderstands Boxer's purpose. She wasn't trying to block Rice's confirmation, she was trying, by making a well-orchestrated gesture at the behest of her superiors, to keep the Democratic Party's far left wing from bailing out en masse and joining the Green Party in disappointment over Kerry's refusal to contest the election.

[homeywhite]

Yes, but the Republican Party did not try. We are alone out here (northern CA)

[Stashiu]

"That threat has been around a long time. Clinton, Clinton's CIA, France, Germany, England, and even John Kerry said the same thing. The war resolution and Bush's speech had many more reasons than mere WMD."

You got that right. I don't have a problem with folks opposing the war. I have a problem with folks who voted TWICE to authorize the use of force and then make partisan political hay out of it."Oh my God, he used force!" Give me a break.

To slander our govt. for an action that they voted for, while our troops are still in harms way, is unconscionable. Of course, some, like Sen. Kerry are rather used to doing that anyway.
