‘Infuriated’ Boxer stormed out of Benghazi hearing
The Washington Times ^ | January 24th, 2013 | Jessica Chasmar

Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., told MSNBC’s Al Sharpton Wednesday night she was “infuriated” during Sen. Rand Paul’s questioning of Sec. Hillary Clinton and even left the hearing room. “When I heard him say those words, I walked out of the hearing room, and listened to him from behind the stage, because I was so infuriated at what that man said,” Ms Boxer said. Mr Paul said it was “inexcusable” for the State Department to ignore the Benghazi cables. “Had I been president at the time, and I found that you did not read the cables from Benghazi, you did not read the cables from Ambassador Stevens, I would have relieved you of your post,” he said during Wednesday’s hearing. “To suggest that she’s retiring from this post after traveling a million miles and being one of the greatest secretaries of state because of Benghazi is unbelievable,” Ms Boxer retorted on MSNBC. “To speak to Sec. Clinton that way, it says more about him than it does about her.” Boxer insisted Clinton “took full responsibility” for what happened in Benghazi and that Republicans are just simply playing politics.

Most interesting to me was the reaction to the gun running question. It never gets a serious answer, and is always quickly diverted. All Democrats and most Republicans drop it.

To have Hillary lying to the nation while standing next to the caskets of the corpses she was responsible for is certainly a firing offense, Mz. Boxer, and a gross dereliction of duty.

Somebody made the decision to abandon 20 to 30 people to be left for dead, the PIAPS needs to be sent to the afterlife through a trap door.

America will continue it’s downward spiral so long as we allow these mentally disturbed parasites to hold positions of power.

Typical democrat behavior. I can’t hear this so I’m going to stick my fingers in my ears and run out of the room.

Remember that ___hole that told Gen. Petraeus he was lying before he even had a chance to speak? Iraq was a failure to that guy even though it was a success.

Another pathological narcissist who succeeded in making the hearings about her rather than the subject of the testimony.

Not just a physical midget, a mental and moral one as well.

Doesn’t Rand Paul realize he is a mere courtier? And that a courtier must at all times be respectful to the Monarch?

“How wimpy of the hysterical Sen. Boxer. btw, she has also written at least one ridiculous, trashy novel.”

As well as numerous numbers of bad checks when she was in the House. The leader as I recall.

Old Boxer had an Al Roker moment.

It’s a damn shame he couldn’t have retorted “And you can call me Citizen XYZ, Public Servant Boxer. YOU work for ME.”

H’s little tantrum shows she can be gotten to. She doesn’t have teflon. Rand was one of the best questioners.

She can sit and chat with the likes of Sharpton, but can’t abide Rand Paul, tells you all you need to know.

“If Hillary “took full responsibility”, then I don’t see her charging herself with treason and voluntarily sending herself to federal prison to await trial.”

Big Deal, now she took full responsibility, problem all cleared up, move on to the next screw up.

Saying it and doing it are of course two different things. “Face the music” used to mean something different from turning on the iPod player and cranking the techno music, after all.

Babs got her boxers in a big, big bunch. That’s happened so many times in her life that they’ve cut off circulation to her tiny, vistigial brain — which is located in her wrinkled little azz.

Yes! Empty words. How many use that phrase, yet show how meaningless it really is. Sigh.
