Sen. Barbara Boxer says she is the real victim of last week's confirmation hearing for Secretary of State-designate Condoleezza Rice, yet continued yesterday to question the national security adviser's honesty.
"She turned and attacked me," the California Democrat told CNN's "Late Edition" in describing the confrontation during the Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing.
"I gave Dr. Rice many opportunities to address specific issues. Instead, she said I was impugning her integrity," Mrs. Boxer said.[snip}
"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," Mrs. Boxer told Miss Rice, who has been President Bush's national security adviser since 2001.
Miss Rice responded that she "never, ever lost respect for the truth in the service of anything. It is not my nature. It is not my character."
"And I would hope that we can have this conversation and discuss what happened before and what went on before and what I said without impugning my credibility or my integrity," Miss Rice said.
Mrs. Boxer yesterday called that response a "good debating technique."
"When you really don't know what to say about a specific, you just attack the person who is asking the questions," Mrs. Boxer told CNN.[snip]
California's other Democratic senator, Dianne Feinstein, declined on "Fox News Sunday" to comment on Mrs. Boxer's questioning, but said her colleague "was within her rights" to question a presidential nominee.
"I don't happen to agree; I happen to strongly support Condoleezza Rice," Mrs. Feinstein said. "I don't want to see her diminished in the eyes of the world. I want to see her confirmed. She will be."

What a wack job head case.
We can only hope that Condi will finish her off in the next session.
Typical.
The Rats are always "victims".
It looks to me like BaaBaa Boxface was a victim of the sanity lottery.
A Raving Liberal Lunatic Answers to Her Master:
I swiped this from another Freeper thread LOL, LOL, LOL !
The Boxer is nuts, and DiFi liking Condi gives me NO comfort!
I think we should Offer her to the Mullahs as a piece offering!
Ping. You won't believe this.
Saturday Night Live skewered both her and Kerry in a skit about Rice's hearing.
Holy crap; she's completely lost her mind!
That's not even close to what this vicious witch did; she came out swinging.
I guess Condi defending herself is an "attack."
What universe is BOXER living in?
I think we should Offer her to the Mullahs as a piece (by piece) offering!
I think we should Offer her to the Mullahs as a piece (by piece) offering!
LOL, Well you never Know!!!
Correction >>>> Peace Offering!!
Boxer...you village idiot!........
So Dr. Rice asking the boxer not to attack her is in itself an attack? Interesting.
btw - That's Dr. Rice, not Miss Rice. At least she didn't say Ms. Rice.
Hey Boxer--the Jerk Store called....
What a lying *itch! It was the other way around. You attacked her!
The bitch is nuts!
Proving that being a leftist is a mental disorder.
Semper Fi
Also .. many TV talking heads even agreed that Boxer was on the attack and basically called Condi a liar during those hearing
