RE: so she doesn’t continue to prove that she is the worlds dumbest female?

It’s going to be tough to beat the likes of Nancy Pelosi, Carolyn Mosley Brown and Sheila Jackson Lee.

All the Democratic talking points are “Pinnochios”. See, e.g., the Benghazi talking points.

Hillary Clinton on State Dept. budget for FY 2012.

FY 2012 Budget Request March 10, 2011

The second part of our request funds the extraordinary, temporary portion of our war effort the same way the Pentagon’s request is funded: in a separate Overseas Contingency Operations account known as OCO. Instead of covering war expenses through supplemental appropriations, we are now taking a more transparent approach that fully reflects the integrated civilian-military efforts. Our share of the President’s $126 billion request for exceptional wartime costs is $8.7 billion. So all told, we have a $47 billion operational account and an $8.7 billion Overseas Contingency Operations account.

(snip)

But let me just quickly walk you through this, because on this issue of our $8.7 billion Overseas Contingency Operations, we have the strongest support from Secretary Gates, from Admiral Mullen. And next week – I was speaking with General Petraeus last night. He will be here on the Hill strongly supporting the civilian effort that goes hand-in-hand with what he is doing so heroically in Afghanistan. So we are funding vital civilian missions in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Iraq with this $8.7 billion.

I know, there is a much competition but she is truly the dumbest of the dumbest in the Senate.

I am sure the regime will want to see how $55.7 billion was spent.

I am sure the Champaign purchased in Paris will exceed anything spent on security in Libya.

Ok, who canceled the F22? Defunds the army? Who exactly Barabas Boxer?

Or maybe that b!tch means we should have given more than $100000 in welfare to the Boston bombers?

There is no other way to interprete this bull sh!t. When will the madness end? When will America wake the f up and throw out these lunatics?

And Boehner still seems more embarassed in having to go after them than Obama or Boxer are of being criminals and obvious perjurers of war, and not just antiwar, but full blown perjurers and enemy aiders.
