I'm sure she was just looking for some cigars. In fact, if she got the cigar embargo lifted, it would be the first positive thing she's done in 8 years.
For 10,000 bonus points, can anyone point to a single thing Boxer has accomplished since becoming a senator?

When I read the title I almost thought she had defected to the 'workers paradise'

I wonder if Barbara plans to get together with Jimmy Carter down in Cuba. Maybe she could stop by his peanut farm on the way home. If he can do it, she probably can. There must be something she's qualified to do.

Yup, she peed herself last week. She is as Kurt would suggest *.

Considering Venezuela didn't topple Chavez, I wouldn't be surprised if Barbara wasn't being called home to see Godfather Castro and appeal for a new empire. Even though she's an idiot, Intel needs to watch this situation carefully, IMHO.

I hope they keep her Castro is evil.....but he's not stupid.
To: CHACHI
Hmm. Once again I refer to 18 USC 953. It was written to prevent private citizens from having their own foreign-policy activities (like Jesse Jackson). If Boxer is negotiating with Castro "without authority of the United States" it shouldn't matter that she is a senator, should it?
"Any citizen of the United States, wherever he may be, who, without authority of the United States, directly or indirectly commences or carries on any correspondence or intercourse with any foreign government or any officer or agent thereof, with intent to influence the measures or conduct of any foreign government or of any officer or agent thereof, in relation to any disputes or controversies with the United States, or to defeat the measures of the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both."
Castro is most certainly in a "dispute or controversy" with the U.S...
Any legal eagles are welcome to set me right on this...
My basic question: did Boxer obtain "authority" to make this visit? Does being a senator immunize her?...etc.
