[NorCalRepub]

being one of her constituents, I emailed her Friday about her morbid and immature display regarding Condi Rice and I got a reply today, obviously prewriiten, talking about the vagaries of Rice and blah blah blah.....it was a load of Horsesh**.........It didn't address anything I wrote...

[Do not dub me shapka broham]

Pfft!

I still say that Ken Norton would kick her ass.

:)

-good times, G.J.P.(Jr.)

Parden me but Senator Boxer is WAY past menopause. A decade. Please don't insult the younger women!

[wouldntbprudent]

Yesm trafficante, exactly. How quickly we (I) forget.

I think her hair disaster resembles his hair disaster supremely! They seem to have a mind meld, too.

[KiloLima]

For the same reason he didn't attend the NAACP convention; that's why.

WHAT?!

[Echo Talon]

being one of her constituents

I feel for you, I really do... It doesn't snow where you live does it?

[MisterRepublican]

I miss ole Traficant. He was so irreverant. Wouldn't surprise me if he was actually railroaded by Janet Reno.

[spokeshave]

Why is she wearing a sofa covering?

Sofa King.............?

[llevrok]

Traficant and Babs have the same hair dresser too.

[KiloLima]

and Rice doesn't seem able to hit back very hard.

It's not as though any "Republican" senators are in her corner. . . it's a sorry spectacle, leaving her out to dry like that.

[Clemenza]

Hard to believe, but she used to be kinda hot. She's still the best looking woman in the Senate, but that's like the wealthiest person in the projects.

[NorCalRepub]

live in the Bay Area but the sane part, east of SF.....no snow except for Mt Diablo.........

[arasina]

Barbara Boxer, photographed with a concealed camera, 'smiles' as she prepares to once again impugn Condoleeza Rice's integrity.

[ladiesview61]

Because, like all true liberals, she's jealous! Jealous because Condi is smarter, younger, better looking and more likable...plus like true liberals, she's a racist, but of course she can't show it on the outside....but it's plain as the dead cat on her head!

[Michael.SF.]

I wonder how many think Wisconsin was a fraud?

Or Washington's governor's race.

[MisterRepublican]

I think Boxer may be using the same stylist as former Rep. James Traficant.

[colorado tanker]

I humbly apologize, Kay. I will switch to the mental illness explanation.

[niteowl77]

Is this boilerplate-cum-pandandling what you got?

Dear (redacted),

The Republicans were expecting the Senate to confirm Dr. Rice with little debate and questioning from the Foreign Relations Committee.

They didn't count on me to ask the tough questions. What the Republicans don't realize is, no matter who is in charge in the White House, the role of Congress will always be to act as a check on the Executive branch of government. And when it comes to presidential nominees, the Senate must take its "advise and consent" role during the confirmation process seriously.

That's why I took a stand last week and voiced my concerns about Dr. Rice's misleading statements leading up to the war in Iraq and beyond. I will continue to make my voice heard on the Senate Foreign Relations committee, but in order to put the brakes on four more years of misdirection in Iraq and reckless policies at home, we need to elect more Democrats to the Senate during the 2006 midterm elections.

Because after Dr. Rice is confirmed, the Senate will face many more crucial decisions in the coming months: confirmation of President Bush's choice for Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, social security, Iraq and possibly a Supreme Court nomination. My Democratic colleagues and I will hold the Bush Administration accountable for its decisions. But we will need your help to hold them accountable in the ultimate public hearing: the next midterm elections in 2006.

The Republicans want us Democrats to step back and pave the way not only for this one nominee, but for their entire social, economic and international agenda. We have a chance during the midterm elections to make sure the Republicans don't have four years to do so. The DSCC is working every day to recruit the strongest candidates in every Senate race across the country. They are fighting early and fighting hard, but they need your ongoing support today.

So while I raise my voice on the Senate floor, I hope you will join us on the campaign trail and send the loudest message of all--one that the Republicans will not be able to ignore--unseating them in the midterm elections and sending more Democrats to the Senate.

Yours sincerely,

Senator Barbara Boxer

The democrats are out of power and will probably be out of power through her newly elected and last term. So she is just going to cause trouble as much as she can. An ass being an ass.
