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.
What's also interesting is that Boxer became powerful and successful because of her HUSBAND and HIS money - not all on her own like Dr. Rice.
"relavent"
Condi's supposed to be "smarter than anyone". I responded to that comment, I didn't make it.
================
"rude and insensitive"
ha, ha, you people are jumping on Boxer for "manners" when Condi and friends have wasted 3000 US military lives in Iraq, with 1000s more to come.
all y'all dubya suckers have a great sense of perspective on what's important in this Iraq quagmire. GMAFB

Boutons is becoming so damn predictable.
That really doesn't cut it here. You'll have to get something specific.You may be getting her confused with Pelosi. Boxer was a stockbroker who helped to put her husband through law school. Then she worked as a journalist and congressional aide.What's also interesting is that Boxer became powerful and successful because of her HUSBAND and HIS money - not all on her own like Dr. Rice.
I do agree it was a stupid line of questioning. There's plenty of legit stuff that could be used to beat Rice about the head with in a hearing.
What's wrong with pointing out the facts. Rice is one of the thugs that made decisions that are killing our kids. She has no children that will suffer from her collusive WH actions. About time someone said it out loud. Poor condi my ass.
A stupid argument proves a legit argument does not exist, or the speaker making the argument is ignorant.
Would you quit saying "our" kids. Are your children serving in Iraq? If they are, then by all means, tell me to pipe down, but if not, quit act like your children are somehow suffering because of the actions of our current administration.
Maybe he is planning on "nationalizing" parenting and placing it under government jurisdiction.

Nah, it was just a stupid talk radio-type question that didn't belong in a congressional hearing.
If you think legit arguments against the surge don't exist, you've got a screw loose.
boutons, I mean this in the nicest way possible, but you're the dumbest person I've ever had a conversation with.
I don't think I could have a dumber conversation if the teletubbies were real and one of them showed up at my front door right now.
I'm worried about all our kids JS, yours included.
I am still trying to figure out:
She is a dimm-o-crap.
Dimm-o-craps are the party of the minorities, especially blacks.
Dimm-o-craps are the party of the women's movement
Dimm-o-craps are the party of equality
EXCEPT when they are Republicans.
Yeah, I get it.
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 do ents 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.........

Boxer is nothing more than a left wing screw with an agenda. and short on manners.
"you're the dumbest person I've ever had a conversation with."
then quit stalking me, less. ignore me, anything, just STFU.
I'm not stalking you, dumbass. I'm just trying to clean up some of the diarrhea of the board (which includes pretty much every comment you post on here).
How does someone get to be as spiteful and hateful as you? Did Bush donkey punch your mom or something?
No she was not politically correct. Conservatives hate that... Boxer spoke the cold hard truth while including herself. Considering the people in bush's inner circle who d the war and avoided military service at all costs should have been included.. nice job boxer
you guys get more upset about snide Washington remarks than bad policy? I always knew republicans lacked anything close to an IQ.
Is it just me or dose it seem like talking to a republican about politics similar to reading the national enquirer?
I love listening to conservatives and hear how they completely ignore the obvious. It's additional information about the mental disorder that's associated with being a hard core republican. This type of behavior has to be recorded for future generations.
Core liberals are great, though.
The 'politically correct' movement has been led by the left the last 10-12 years.
I'm not going to pretend that some policy shifts don't need to happen. Did Boxer need to be a throwing out low blow sound bites to make her point in that discussion? 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.
Sorry, but republicans that back bush simply aren't qualified to judge the quality of ANY plans or ideas.
Now there's an intelligent statement
I could say the same thing about any lib backing Kerry, Hillary, Boxer, or Soros, and linking to articles from the likes of Asia Times, Al Jazeera, NY Times, Inquirer, Democratic Underground, etc.
Yeah, it's better that we stick with the lies on White House letterhead.
[QUOTE=Aggie Hoopsfan]The 'politically correct' movement has been led by the left the last 10-12 years.
I said she wasn't being PC..I thought you guys liked that? Was what she said untrue? So then why the 'slecetive' outrage by those on the right? Trump has been championed lately because he hit Rosie back without being PC.... yet A Dem speaks the truth and now the right has their feelings hurt..?
If you think legit arguments against the surge don't exist, you've got a screw loose.
I'd have a screw loose if I gave a rat's ass about what some peon internet mod thought about my post...
But don't worry, I'm sure another glib response from you will make it all better.
