.............I wouldn’t conclude that Mr. Alford was a liberal.

If he was a Liberal he probably is not one now, after meeting a real one.

Congress has a large number of morons in its ranks, but none are as imbecilic as Barbara Boxer. She makes a cretin look like a Rhodes Scholar. Her intellectual powers are confined to her brain stem, and she is but dimly aware she is even alive. To say she is vapid is to give lifelessness more animation than it deserves.

I've said it before and I'll say it again.

In a sane world, Boxer would have risen no further than assistant clerk at a brassiere boutique in downtown Queens.

On the IQ scale, I believe she ranks between Mongoloid and Toilet Trainable.

Did you watch the video?

Yes.

I wouldn’t conclude that Mr. Alford was a liberal.

You're probably right. I should've given him the benefit of the doubt.

I guess the very concept that a black chamber of commerce exists in the first place struck a Liberal chord with me.

I saw him on O'Really yesterday and he didn't sound like a Lib at all.
