WASHINGTON — The White House fired back Friday at Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer's verbal slap at Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, calling the California Democrat's caustic comments about Rice's family life "outrageous."
Boxer lit into Rice on Thursday with bitter diatribe during a heated line of questioning before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee looking into Iraq policies. At one point, Boxer turned to the broad question of who pays the ultimate price for war. Rice has never married and has no children.
"Who pays the price? I'm not going to pay a personal price. My kids are too old and my grandchild is too young," Boxer said. "You're not going to pay a particular price, as I understand it, with an immediate family. So who pays the price? The American military and their families."

I think we should take Boxer's premise to its logical conclusion: "Starship Troopers" by Robert Heinlein; where only veterans could vote, and people like Boxer would be out of a job.
It's a well known fact that one of the most difficult things for a commander to do is to send his men off to die. WTH does Babs think aged Lincoln so much in his four years (if you've ever seen the pictures of him in his first and his second inaugurals, it's striking to say the least)? Liberals simply have no clue, no ability to understand real life. They view EVERYTHING through a political lens. Everything to them is political.
Don`t expect women`s lib groups to come to Rice`s defense, because she isn`t a donk.
They're liberal, but Snowe, at least, isn't a moron.
Not like Boxer, Murray and Biden.
Barbara isnt a vet, she should allow Murtha to write her talking points.
"Don`t expect women`s lib groups to come to Rice`s defense, because she isn`t a donk."
They are not, nor have they ever been, "women's lib" groups. They are leftist groups with women in them.
Excellent post.
Or if we don't fight this war now Boxer's grandchildren will have to fight it one day if like you said they can survive that long.
Besides that - she's (Boxer) useless!
If it were not so, they would not want to kill their own unborn children. What else is there to say, really, about this social disease?
Which is why most would hesitate to elect a female president. Her catty remarks just set back the NOW women.... a decade or two. :)
Just saw the videotape on TV. Totally tasteless, from dumb as a box Babs...
It would be so cool to drop her off in sadr city and see what happens.... hehehehehe...
Now THAT is funny.
Yes. Bruce Herschensohn.
She played some dirty politics to win and barely beat him.
Shortly before election day 1992, DemoRat Party operative Bob Mulholland loudly publicized an alleged visit to a Hollywood strip club by Herschensohn, who had been even with Boxer in the polls.
I think Al Gore says that Californica is going under because of global warning. If we learn to keep illegals out with big fences and so forth, maybe we can keep those dips out later on. Even one Boxer or one Pelosi is more of a threat to the American way of life than a hundred thousand Mexicans.
This Boxer bitch is just a female dog...she looks like one, she sits like one, she talks like one and she is sooooo jealous of Condi she doesn't know what day it is...
Boxer is a bigot, if you don't believe this, read the transcripts of the 9/11 commission hearings and then watch how Boxer looks and talks to any black person, not just Condi...
But this is typical of California politics...just look at their RINO governor....
interesting pic, I didn't know she had a wiener.
But...but...Boxer and her ilk are against the traditional family anyway...so why even mention this?
