Some things in the United States Senate seem so rote that they’re not worth much further analysis. Hillary Clinton will make (calculating) “moderate” maneuvers, John McCain will be feisty about something (campaign finance reform, steroids in baseball, Tom Cruise’s new faux relationship), and Barbara Boxer will launch some sort of fatwa on a Bush administration nominee up for confirmation.
Yet while it’s not exactly news that a Marin County Über-lib would oppose a conservative nominee, Boxer somehow manages to turn her partisan misgivings into the kind of spectacles that make the op-ed pages of the Los Angeles Times swoon. John Ashcroft knows the drill and so does Condoleezza Rice (indeed, Boxer’s attacks on Rice this year were so over-the-top that Saturday Night Live immortalized her in a sketch: “An eruption of lies! Dr. Condo-lies-a-lies-a-lot!”).
Add Janice Rogers Brown to the list of Boxer’s targets. The conservative African-American judge, confirmed to the D.C. Court of appeals yesterday, has had to endure the verbal wrath of the Smurf-sized senator over the past few weeks with nary an opportunity for an edgewise word (Boxer has a penchant for getting really riled up over black conservative nominees). Ironically, Boxer’s treatment of Brown is strikingly similar to what she chastised John Ashcroft for doing to another judge — the explanation for her enthusiastic “nay” vote during Ashcroft’s 2001 attorney general confirmation hearing.

Boxer is a bitter old hag!
she has to be one of the phoniest people alive.
her husband makes millions off of california's workers' comp.
Her lawyer husband submitted donations to her reelection campaign using slightly altered variations of his name to circumvent single doner laws. The scanned pdf files of these contribution forms can be found on the internet with a little googling. They are crooks, plain and simple.
I moved to Marin almost 20 years ago from CT, it took me about 2 weeks to figure out the average resident out here is a moron...Boxer doesn't have the intellectual firepower to punch her way out of a wet paper bag, she represents these idiots perfectly....
You nailed it then. Plus, Boxer is just so stupid.
What is it with these "filthy" rich Liberals yapping and screaming "Power to The People!". Ugh.
She's the only one I know that can wear ugly couch material and embarass the couch.
Me think babs should marry Howard Dean. What a lovely pair they would make.
Check your spelling please! couch = crotch!!
Let me add to that..
Boxer is an atrocious,disgusting,foul,horrid,nasty,nauseating,offensive,repellent,repulsive,revolting,sickening,unwholesome,vile, bitter old hag.
And ugly as sin.
there that is better! :)
I call Barbara Boxer "The Wicked Witch of the West".
She's just mad because a house fell on her sister.
Barbara Boxer needs to be in the senate. It very important that extremely stupid women have someone to represent them. LOL!
Here is some of my own: Boxer is a carpetbagging, babykilling, check kiting, al Queda kissing communist traitor. I long for the day when she is convicted for her crimes.
Move over to the east side of CA and you will see a difference in the attitude of most people. We are not like the coastal dewellers( they can't stand heat over 80 degrees, makes them faint for one), most of us are conservative to the core.
Most of my best friends I've met since living in Ca., live in Modesto and Fresno. I love the attitude of the people who live in the valley.
She's nothing of the sort.She's completely in line with her party.Nothing she says or does differs with the DNC.
The whole bunch are a left wing fringe group propped up by the leftist media and hate America moneymen.
Plus the old fools who still think Roosevelt is president.
Isn't Lodi in Marin County...relatives of Barbara's?
