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.

The left is so jealous that they do not have accomplished black leaders such as our Condi. All they have is loud obnoxious, stupid women such as Maxine Waters. The left can't hold a match to our Condi and they know it, so they try to tear her down every chance they get.

Hmm, I remember a somewhat similar comment that caused a firestorm that some people still cannot let go of:
"I don't think he's been that good from the get-go. I think what we've had here is a little social concern in the NFL. I think the media has been very desirous that a black quarterback do well. They're interested in black coaches and black quarterbacks doing well. I think there's a little hope invested in McNabb and he got a lot of credit for the performance of his team that he really didn't deserve. The defense carried this team."
Not that Abercrombie has the prominence of Rush Limbaugh, but he is a member of Congress. And white. And a man. Oh wait, he's a RAT. Rules don't apply to him.
Kiss-my -ass cracker!"
My mistake, wrong paper..
The socialist/liberal/Marxists have a real problem containing their salivating/drooling hate of all conservatives.
Condi has loads of class.... The left has none.
They have every right to be jealous. With the likes of Jesse Jackson, Shiela - quit hoggin' the baby, Al, let me have some face time with it - Jackson-Lee, Al Sharpton, Marion Barry, John Conyers, Chucky Dingel, Louis Farakkhan, Maxine Waters, Cynthia McKinnon, et ali, they know what they're talking about.
Spot on!
If Boxer weren't such a flaming hypocrite she'd resign because apparently since she won't personally "pay the price" for her decisions she isn't remotely qualified to make any...so Ms. Boxer, resign!
Since when did the left care about mothers? I thought
they were pro feminist, baby killers and pro homo.
What ever happened to diversity and tolerance!
Nancy Pelosi is a mother and a grandmother in case you hadn't heard? /sarcasm
Senator Barbara Boxer (D-CA) is being criticized by members of the black leadership network Project 21 for implying that Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice lacks a proper perspective on the War on Terror in Iraq because she does not have children.
"Barbara Boxer is a feminist who is attacking the feminist dream," said Project 21 member Kevin Martin. "But Condoleezza Rice's achievements are disqualified because she is a black conservative, and her rise was not blessed by the liberal establishment. Former attorney general Janet Reno was also unmarried and childless, but I don't remember insulting questioning like this regarding her handling of Elian Gonzalez or the deadly raid on the Branch Davidian cult."
During a January 11 Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing, Senator Boxer asked Secretary Rice: "Who pays the price? I'm not going to pay a personal price. My kids are too old, and my grandchild is too young. You're not going to pay a particular price, as I understand it, with an immediate family."
Secretary Rice replied: "I visit them. I know what they're going through. I talk to their families. I see it. I could never and I can never do anything to replace any of those lost men and women in uniform, or the diplomats, some of whom..." Senator Boxer cut her off, saying in response: "Madam Secretary, please. I know you feel terrible about it. That's not the point. I was making the case as to who pays the price for your decisions."
In an editorial about the incident, The New York Post noted: "The junior senator from California apparently believes that an accomplished, seasoned diplomat, a renowned scholar and an adviser to two presidents like Condoleezza Rice is not fully qualified to make policy at the highest levels of the American government because she is a single, childless woman."
Project 21 fellow Deneen Borelli added: "I am deeply appalled by Senator Barbara Boxer's cruel and callous attack on Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. Senator Boxer's absurd comments are inexcusable and immoral. The debate should have been about the war in Iraq and not a platform to demean Secretary Rice, who is one of the finest examples of a leader and is well qualified for the nation's chief cabinet office. No matter what her views are, Secretary Rice is a noteworthy public servant who should be treated with respect."
Project 21, a nonprofit and nonpartisan organization sponsored by the National center for Public Policy Research, has been a leading voice of the African-American community since 1992.

The more publicity for Condi -- raising her name recognition.
