Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer, an appalling scold from California, wasted no time yesterday in dragging the debate over Iraq about as low as it can go - attacking Secre tary of State Condoleezza Rice for being a childless woman.
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.
We scarcely know where to begin.
The junior senator from California ap parently believes that an accom plished, 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.
It's hard to imagine the firestorm that similar comments would have ignited, coming from a Republican to a Democrat, or from a man to a woman, in the United States Senate. (Surely the Associated Press would have put the observation a bit higher than the 18th paragraph of a routine dispatch from Washington.)
But put that aside.

If the Republican party still existed in California, Barbara Boxer would not be elected.
Here we go again. Sending someone out there to distract so they continue to do their own agenda and that is to destroy America.
Let's turn this around.
Since Boxer has never been in the military, I don't think she's qualified to give military advice.
And can we imagine the firestorm if the Republicans had said the same thing to Janet Reno in the weeks following Waco?
Actually, it's pretty easy to imagine. We see it all the time from the Rats.
It's not often that we get to see a grown woman behave exactly like a condescending adolescent Pr*ck.
Never mind the bottom feeding tackiness of Boxer's statement.
That she even thinks that's relevant, let alone saying it, with an all volunteer military shows that her IQ is also in the low double digits.
The Dems believe that irrelevant factors are more important than what you have to say.
Actually, Boxer, in her astonishing arrogance and personal attack on Rice, may have given Republicans a weapon with which to attack Dems on virtually ANY topic.
However, in this era of hyper PC, I can't comprehend ANYONE getting away with a comment like this. Unfortunately, it won't even register on the treasonous MSM's radar!!
I think we've all know for several years Barbara Boxer does not like Condi. What makes this so unfair is Boxer gets to granstand for the cameras and Condi has to sit there and smile and take it... IMO, senators should be censured when they berate witnesses in an unfair, below the belt, manner.

Her name's Barbara Boxer...she's a whiny little witch
Yes, I didn't use a "b" there
It is really only Hillary I call a *****
I do declare
After seeing her on C-SPAN
I could pull out all her hair...frizzy hair
Gray, lifeless hair
She was jumping all over Condi Rice
One of freedom's greatest lights
Condi taught her a great lesson
You don't bring a knife when it is time for your gunfight
Your gunfight
Condi shot her like a tin can...and then she turned off her light
It was fun to see her turn off Boxer's light
See her whine...Barbara Boxer likes to whine
See her whine...it's so funny on TV when we watch her whine
So the pest kept on attacking...she's a woman with no clue
It was so annoying
Boxer saw those steely eyes that told her "I'll get you"
I will get you
You'll regret all this showboating by the time this hearing's through
By the time this hearing's through
(musical break)
See her whine...Barbara Boxer likes to whine
See her whine...it's so funny on TV when we watch her whine
Out of her Condi made mincemeat
It was something to behold...to behold
It's a great one for the archives...it is solid gold
Boxer's now...not so bold
DemocRATS rushed to her side and gave to her some smelling salts
And George Bush, of course, is at fault
'Cause Condi had picked her up and threw her on the mat
And broke her like a very fragile vase (väz)
Like Roberto or a Frenchie she cried out "Oh, please no mas...please no mas"
See her whine...Barbara Boxer likes to whine
See her whine...it's so funny on TV when we watch her whine
See her whine...Barbara Boxer likes to whine
See her whine...it's so funny on TV when we watch her whine
See her whine...Barbara Boxer likes to whine
See her whine...it's so funny on TV when we watch her whine
See her whine...Barbara Boxer likes to whine
See her whine...it's so funny on TV when we watch her whine
See her whine...Barbara Boxer likes to whine
See her whine...it's so funny on TV when we watch her whine
See her whine...Barbara Boxer likes to whine
See her whine...it's so funny on TV when we watch her whine
See her whine...Barbara Boxer likes to whine
See her whine...it's so funny on TV when we watch her whine
See her whine...Barbara Boxer likes to whine
See her whine...it's so funny on TV when we watch her whine
Aren't Barbara's children deformed and ridden with fatal mutations?
Barbara Boxer is in my opinion an embarrassment. She is not particuarly smart and survives on her own ego.
I am sick and tired of these politicans talking about pulling out of Iraq or reducing troops. Have they asked the troops how they feel? What about the Iraqi people, the everyday working Iraqi people what they think?
I do not hear much about winning over terrorism, I don't want us to get hit again before they wake up to the reality of this important fight.
Barbara Boxer's baby picture.
Back in 1992, I worked my heart out to elect Bruce Herschensohn, a fine conservative, who lost to Boxer by only about two percentage points. Had President George H. W. Bush, in his bid for re-election, not abandoned California during that campaign, I believe Bruce would have won.
Taken as a whole, Boxer's only contribution to society has been the breeding part, though her continued waste of oxygen that higher forms of life could use to greater benefit offsets the breeding ability. Much like any biological pathogen, Boxer exists, but is not necessarily needed.
I do sincerely hope Boxer has entered menopause so far, and her eggs are so withered, she can no longer infest the world with her progeny.
Oklahoma, with a population around 2.5 million, is represented by Senators Inhofe and Tom Coburn.
Californ-I-aye, with a population somewhere between 33 million and 45 million, depending on how many illegals are not counted, is represented by Senators DiFi and Bawawawa Boxer.
It is to laugh!
Nice job, DFU.
Ok, so I understated Oklahoma's population - should be about 3.5 - 4 million.
It seems that arrogance and one's own self importance are the strong point of boxey's term.
Oh wait, she's a dumb-o-crat so she is only being like the rest of the party.
