Boxer was wholly in character for her party - New York's own two Democratic senators, Chuck Schumer and Hillary Rodham Clinton, were predictably opportunistic - but the Golden State lawmaker earned special attention for the tasteless jibes she aimed at Rice.

Rice appeared before the Senate in defense of President Bush's tactical change in Iraq, and quickly encountered Boxer.

"Who pays the price? I'm not going to pay a personal price," Boxer said. "My kids are too old, and my grandchild is too young."

Then, to Rice: "You're not going to pay a particular price, as I understand it, with an immediate family."

Breathtaking.

Simply breathtaking.



Welcome to the next two years of life with a Democratic majority in Congress.

Crude and confrontational, but completely true.

Confrontation and obstruction of Condi and all the WH has been too absent, leading us into Iraq.

The more confrontation and obstruction of the disastrous WH and Repugs, the better.

As much as it is true that Congress has given the WH too much of a free pass (and the WH has given Congress the same - look at the deficit); it is true that had a white Republican man said that to ANY female - the reaction would have been swift and severe; dude probably would have had to retire.

Yes, throwing insults at those that do not have children for not having children is a wonderful way to get things done.

Confrontation and especially obstruction is sure to encourage the cooperation and compromise between the two parties that this government so desperately needs. :rolleyes


Of course Boutons will never see this though as he has me on ignore.

Is this the same Barbara Boxer who, back in the 1970's, encouraged women to "throw off the shackles of marriage and children and achieve your full potential." Now she's criticizing a extremely smart woman who did just that - what a hypocrite.

The only women that feminists support are those that adhere to their liberal views and agenda. Dr. Rice rose above segregation to become the first and ONLY black woman to become Secretary of State. Shouldn't that be something feminists should applaud? But no, they vilify her at every opportunity!

Millions of women did exactly what Boxer said to do.
That's how the middle classes survived, moving to 2 salaries.

As always, Crooky's limited intelligence and agenda-think leads her into grievous, egregious errors, where she is happily camped out.

Boxer didn't tell Condi to go get married, have kids, and stay home.

Boxer is not after Condi for being an post-graduated, educated, professional.

Boxer's 70s exhortation doesn't preclude her from disagreeing, vehemently, viciously, with Condi.

Forget about Crooky's bias seeing this as a woman-on-woman cat fight.

Crooky should be "celebrating" that two women, her ilk, have reached so high into male-dominated international politics, and have contrary, independent positions.

Forget about Crooky's obession with gender.

Boxer's point is perfectly valid, and lots of people have made it.

Who in the WH has kids wasting themselves in Iraq for dubya's disaster? Dubya's 2 bimbos didn't sign up.

Condi's a WH suckup. Her legacy is/will be in the toilet like every other principal in dubya's Exec these past 6 years. She may be smart in the book sense, but she's not wise to have hooked up and pimped for dubya and his bullshit war.

btw, here's a hard-core conservative's take on Condi's department:

============

The Mess at State

By Robert D. Novak
Thursday, January 11, 2007; A25

Members of the Senate intelligence committee, Republicans and Democrats alike, were alarmed last week that John Negroponte was leaving as director of national intelligence after less than two years to become deputy secretary of state. By way of explanation, he informed one Republican senator that he did not want to make the switch but that the White House had prevailed on him to do so.

Just how career diplomat Negroponte came to be the new intelligence czar in the first place is puzzling. But to pull him out just as his on-the-job training was completed reflects a panicky desire to fill the deputy secretary post, which had been unfilled for an unprecedented six months. Five other key State Department positions are either vacant or are soon to be vacant.

Republicans in Congress who do not want to be quoted tell me that the State Department under Condoleezza Rice is a mess. This comes at a time when the U.S. global position is precarious. While attention is focused on Iraq, American diplomacy is being tested worldwide -- in Afghanistan, Iran, Israel, Korea and Sudan. The judgment by thoughtful Republicans is that Rice has failed to manage that endeavor.

Rice's previous government duties had been as an analyst and staffer rather than as a manager. That made it important for her to name a strong deputy secretary to run the building. John Bolton, an undersecretary in President Bush's first term and an experienced bureaucratic manager, volunteered. Rice instead picked him to be ambassador to the United Nations. The conservative Bolton ran afoul of a liberal Senate vendetta that blocked his confirmation for any post.

The deputy's post went to Robert Zoellick, one of the most talented national security administrators of the past generation who during Bush's first term was U.S. trade representative. He wanted to become president of the World Bank, but that job was filled by the embattled Paul Wolfowitz, who left the Defense Department as deputy secretary. Zoellick took a bullet for the team, dropping down a step to No. 2 at State.

Foreign Service officers saw in Zoellick a dominant deputy in the mold of Richard Armitage, who effectively managed the department during the first term. But Rice and Zoellick were not a marriage made in heaven. Nicholas Burns, No. 3 at State as undersecretary for political affairs, dominated the building. Burns surely would have been in the same post if John Kerry had been elected in 2004 and seemingly would be more at home in a Democratic administration.

Estranged from Zoellick, Rice relied on Burns and State Department Counselor Philip Zelikow for advice. A former Foreign Service officer and brilliant University of Virginia professor, Zelikow was near the top of the arrogance scale in a building where arrogance is the norm, uniting such disparate figures as Bolton and Burns. Zoellick busied himself by specializing in China and Sudan, unusual for a deputy secretary, but he finally had enough after 18 months and left in July.

That began a furtive, sporadic search for a deputy. Several prospects (including Marine Gen. James Jones, who just retired as NATO's supreme allied commander) said no, perhaps warned off by Zoellick's experience. Negroponte, named national intelligence director despite his lack of intelligence experience, was implored by fellow Foreign Service officers to bring order out of chaos. Retired Adm. Mike McConnell, though he had been out of the intelligence game for 10 years, was tapped to replace Negroponte.

Negroponte will find other empty offices at State. Zelikow, Counterterrorism Coordinator Hank Crumpton and John Hillen, assistant secretary for political-military affairs, have all resigned and have not been replaced. Robert Joseph, undersecretary for arms control, is reported to be going, and Josette Sheeran Shiner, undersecretary for economic affairs, is leaving to head the World Food Program.

With the State Department permanent bureaucracy traditionally hostile to Republican administrations, it is remarkable to see two Foreign Service officers, Negroponte and Burns, in the department's No. 2 and No. 3 slots. Insiders relish their confrontation. When Negroponte was flying high as Ronald Reagan's Communist-fighting ambassador to Honduras, Burns was a rookie staff assistant to the U.S. envoy in Cairo. That may turn out to be a good show, but it is not reassuring for a country facing myriad challenges worldwide.

==================

So it appears the REPUBLICAN and conservative mucky-mucks think Condi has failed a departmental manager and as international diplomat, as well as being tarred (oops!) with the same brush that will paint all dubya's principals as one of the worst Exec branches ever.

Boutons - it's not what Condi has or has not done during her tenure in this administration that is being debated. It's the condescending and rather rude remarks made by Barbara Boxer.

If not having a child affected by this decision leaves you unable to have an opinion or make policy - then almost ALL of congress would be exempt!

And by that logic - does that mean Ms. Boxer, who is such a champion of the poor and needy, doesn't really have standing to make policy on government handouts because she was raised as a privileged child?

Her comments, while not just being rude and insensitive, are completely irrelevant to the issue at hand!

I'm sorry - that was not a direct quote; but rather a summation of the feminist agenda of the 1970's, of which Barbara Boxer was a huge part.

Does anyone on this board remember Boxer tearning into Rice at here conformation hearning?
excerpt::

Boxer speaking to C. Rice:

Now, the war was sold to the American people, as Chief of Staff to President Bush Andy Card said, like a "new product." Those were his words. Remember, he said, "You don't roll out a new product in the summer." Now, you rolled out the idea and then you had to convince the people, as you made your case with the president.

And I personally believe -- this is my personal view -- that your loyalty to the mission you were given, to sell this war, overwhelmed your respect for the truth. And I don't say it lightly, and I'm going to go into the documents that show your statements and the facts at the time.

Now, I don't want the families of those 1,366 troops that were killed or the 10,372 that were wounded to believe for a minute that their lives and their bodies were given in vain, because when your commander-in-chief asks you to sacrifice yourself for your country, it is the most noble thing you can do to answer that call.

I am giving their families, as we all are here, all the support they want and need. But I also will not shrink from questioning a war that was not built on the truth.

Now, perhaps the most well-known statement you've made was the one about Saddam Hussein launching a nuclear weapon on America with the image of, quote, quoting you, "a mushroom cloud." That image had to frighten every American into believing that Saddam Hussein was on the verge of annihilating them if he was not stopped. And I will be placing into the record a number of such statements you made which have not been consistent with the facts.

As the nominee for secretary of State, you must answer to the American people Ms Rice.........

I'm not going to pretend that some policy shifts don't need to happen. Did Boxer need to be a bitch throwing out low blow sound bites to make her point in that discussion? Hell no.

Some things definitely need to change WRT how we are handling Iraq. What I do know is that just withdrawing and leaving it to cave in on itself (which is what some in the Democratic party are advocating) is dumb, and that's the only plan that's come out of the Democraptic party.

Unfortunately, all we've been treated to since 1998 from the Democratic party is the idea that "what the Repubs (and then Bush) are doing is wrong".

There's no alternative plan offered, no knowledgeable, informed suggestions. Just "what they're doing is wrong." That's completely useless to moving our nation forward, and until the Demos speak up with something of substance other than "Bush, Cheney, and Condi suck", then yeah I'll continue to call them out for the chump ass politicians they are.

Gee I don't remember anyone on the right defending RIchard Clarke's and Paul O'Neil's books which were very critical of Bush...? Yet all we heard from the GOP apologists is that these guys were bitter, they had an axe to grind.. they had agendas..etc..
nevermind the first person accounts of what they wrote about..

Ray for the lst 6 yr s the GOP has perfected attacking the messenger.. do you need anymore examples?

You know why all of this seems familiar?
Because both of the parties do it! Spend most of their time in office getting ready to be re-elected, cursing the other party as being polarizing and how much better this country would be if the minority party was in control, and help out the special insterests in their own distrcits.
Long live the special interest financed 2 party system!!!!

Boxer's statement, while not the personal attack some would like it to be interpreted as, was an irrelevant appeal to emotion. It's a dumbed-down argument for dumbed-down people.

Not to be outdone in the useless, miss-the-point-completely hyperbole competition, Rush Limbaugh accused Boxer of trying to "lynch" Rice.

"Rush Limbaugh accused Boxer of trying to "lynch" Rice."

Seems like this asshole can't smell a fart without trying to inflame it. He knows how to talk to his sheeple and rabble.

Now that the wingnuts are in the minority again in the Congress, they are getting back to what they do best........

Cry and pout and play the victim. Find something real to be outraged about AHF, like say an able bodied service age A&M graduate advocating war and the need for military intervention while snuggled safe and sound in their warm home stateside banging away on their keyboard.


what's that? crying and making excuses of why they lost the elections and crying conspiracy?

No, but dems and repugs are all the same. :spin
