Why is it, with a wholly sympathetic mass media, the Dems are always "misunderstood"?

Countering complaints of being insensitive, Barbara Boxer accused Ms. Rice of being "uppity" and suggested that Rice should "not speak unless spoken to" and should "learn to stay in her place."

Boxer will be the gift that keeps on giving for the next two years - she's a blithering idiot and likes to prove it daily. Without cue cards or questions fed by staffers - she is stranded without a coherent thought.
To: Wally_Kalbacken
Worse, and more to the point, how dare she pretend to speak "on behalf" of those who pay the price (our military and their families) when any survey of those very same people would generate an overwhelming supportive response for our President and a frustrated and angry response to the traitors in the dim/media establishment.
Speaking of "chutzpah".

Dr. Rice chose to be single and childless. I thought that was ok. Didn't feminist icon Gloria Stienem once claim women don't need men?

I wonder if these people ever stopped to consider that those who do not have children in Iraq are more likely to make a logical judgment about it. That's the reason why we don't allow the victim's family members serve on a jury.Well said!

Very good point.

"Passing exchange"??? Screw you, NYT! Boxer made a total ass of herself, and PO'd a lot of people.
To: Utah Girl
I expected that the New York Times would somehow report this story incorrectly, since it hurts Democrats, and in fact they misquote Pelosi's statement to Condi:
Youre not going to pay a particular price, as I understand it, with an immediate family.
What exactly is "an immediate family," and how would Condi pay a price with one? It's nonsensical.
Here is the Washington Times version of the quote:
You're not going to pay a particular price, as I understand it, within immediate family.
That makes sense, and it shows more clearly why Condi was right to be offended.
The NYT, wrong as usual.

And now Barbara Boxer is playing the victim card. Actually, I think the NYT is playing the victim card FOR her.

I think its important to mention that a general statement about the impact of the war on soldiers and the soldiers families would be ok (even though it doesnt have anything to do with debating the facts about a war), but singling Rice out and making it personal about her is where Boxer went way over the line.
Boxer really hates Condi Rice for some reason. Its weird.

I know there are always freepers who argue with me about this and put Boxer at #2 or #3 just in the Senate, but I steadfastly maintain that Barbara Boxer is the single most stupid human being I have ever laid eyes on, hands down. Stupidity drips from the corners of her mouth.
To: 3_wheeler
Boxer's vile attack on Dr. Rice reminded me of Tom Lantos suggesting to a witness that he, too, ought to commit suicide.
There is something very black in the hearts of democrats. Something too ugly to contemplate.

Boxer is one nasty and heartless woman. If she's supposedly so compassionate, why is she pro-choice?
To: Utah Girl
Boxer is never a victim. She victimizes. Such a low down, dirty classless beotch. An all around embarrassment who should have never been elected to public office.

Thank God for the new media. Five years ago this would have gone totally unreported. Bye, bye, old media.

I called Boxer's office yesterday morning. Told the aide that I shared the senator's angquish about the lives lost in Iraq. Then I asked if senator shared that same anquish over the babies murdered during partial birth abortion.
