The White House and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice yesterday accused Democrats of suggesting that the secretary's childlessness, race and sex are to blame for mistakes in Iraq.
White House spokesman Tony Snow said Sen. Barbara Boxer's comments that Miss Rice won't "pay the price" for her decisions in the Iraq war because she is unmarried and without children was a "great leap backward for feminism."
"I don't know if she was intentionally that tacky, but I do think it's outrageous," he told Fox News. "Here you've got a professional woman, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, and Barbara Boxer is sort of throwing little jabs because Condi doesn't have children, as if that means that she doesn't understand the concerns of parents."
But Mrs. Boxer and Democrats are making no apologies.
Rep. Neil Abercrombie of Hawaii called Miss Rice "the most overrated, underperforming individual in executive authority that I have ever seen."
"She constantly gets a pass," he told the Honolulu Star Bulletin this week, days before the nation celebrates Martin Luther King Day. "Who knows if the whole question of race and gender come into it, but ... I can't account for it, except to say she isn't up to the mark."
But it was Mrs. Boxer's remarks about Miss Rice that generated the most outrage yesterday.

There is no level of indecency the Demonrats will not sink to. They're the scum of the earth.
Actually, we should all call Biden's office and say if he has so little control over his committee that he would allow such tacky behavior to go on without punishment, then there is no way he is ready to run for president. If he doesn't publically admonish Boxer we women will follow his campaign around and make sure every voter knows how weak he is on supporting women.
I know, right. Just like the Left suddenly cared about fathers during the Elian debacle. Friggin hypocrites.
I the words of Chevey Chase (SNL)...I believe it would be prudent for the Senators & Congressmen to begin each debate or question & answer session with, "Boxer, you ignorant slut!"
Anti-Lib, Anti (anit-war) Senator Sarcasm Torpedo ARMED. FIRE!
Whew! For a minute I thought we were re-living one of Kerry's Vietnam Purple Hearts.
Cheers!

Who in the Boxer family is "paying the price" under Boxer's definition?
She has all these kids and grandkids. Which ones' serve the country?
Excuse me, but wasn't Rush Limbaugh pilloried for saying something similar about Eagles QB Donovan McNabb?
Sorry, missed your post! Great minds...
so Ms. Boxer, resign!
If you put Boxer and the MSM in a bag and roll them down a hill you would finish with a SOB on top.
Very funny!
I could while away the hours,
Conferrin' with Akaka -
Or Consultin' with McCain.
And my head, I'd be scratchin'
While my thoughts were busy hatchin'
If I only had a brain.
I'd unravel ev'ry riddle
For any individ'le
In trouble or in pain
With the thoughts I'd be thinkin'
I could be another Lincoln,
If I only had a brain.
Oh, I could tell you why
The Dems are ingnorant bores,
I could think of things I never thunk before
And then I'd sit and think some more.
I would not be just a nuffin'
My head all full of stuffin'
My heart all full of pain.
I would dance and be merry
Life would be a ding-a-derry
If I only had a brain -- Whoa!
wow, thanks; good one -- and just in time, too! It's next to impossible to read such off-base rude comments as we see here (as in #29) and keep a perspective or sense of humor.
