Barbara Boxer's 'accident'
2004-07-09
Can't resist this morsel from Hugh Hewitt.
Today, on the floor of the United States Senate, Barbara Boxer referred to the Madrid bombings as a "rail accident." Honest. A rail accident. Boxer is a Senate accident. What an embarassment. I posed the question to my audience: How much money could Boxer lose in a Jeopardy game, assuming that, in her typical fashion, she obnoxiously buzzed in first every time and, also in typical fashion, she got everything wrong. The best calculation seems to be $58,000. Let me know if that's a correct analysis.

#24  Well I do still have time to change my mind and I may. November is a long way off. Saying I am voting for Nader does cause the LLL to go apoplectic.

I recalled what I though the first time I saw Rep H. Waxman ranting and foaming at the mouth (about his favorite gun banning activities) on CSPAN "You clueless pompus little weasle nosed limp d***."

#23  voting for Nader does nothing good - remember the Dem howling re: popular vote vs electoral college? For every CA Rep vote you neutralize a Kerry vote - isn't that worth it?

#22  You think the total control of all important state offices and depts by LL Democrats will let any federal Rep or Sen lose? Why do you think they want computer voting terminals so bad? So they can keep cheating thats why. They totally dominate all media in the state. California is safe in the dems hands no matter how hard they have to cheat.

Take a look at the map from the recall election. This is the recall Davis
map. This is the elect Arnold map. If you live hee you know where the population centers are. As I recall right after teh election LA county was red on both maps.
I am not holding my breath for a conservative win here. As soon as my Wife can retire in 10 years I am leaving and I was born here.

I am voting for Nader just to screw with them and am telling them I am. At least Nader is an honest LLL and will tell you what he is going to do.

Oh yea ferret face Waxman with his rodent look, a reall class A rectal opening.

#21  heh heh that Waxman's a beauty, isn't he? Maxine's looks like she's been sucking on lemons, but I think it's cranial constipation. We have a stable of assholes here, all in safe districts

#20  Could you guys be real sports and get rid of Feinstein, too?
And Maxi-Pads Waters? And Nostrilitis Waxman?

#19  I've had Bush/Cheney sticker on since the last election! My Dad thinks that someone will vandalize my 88 Hyundai (like I would notice) because of the sticker. Not a scratch in three years! I think the liberal storm has blown itself out here in California and maybe we are in for a couple of decades of conservative weather. I would like nothing more that seeing the weepy eyes of Babs Boxer as she is tossed from office. Maybe if God is really in a good mood will get to see sad Thom from SD get booted as well!

#18  Not a Freudian slip-a predictable slip. She is mulling over the Dems favorite martyr principle-that the West somehow had this coming; therefore, we must keep the speech non-judgmental and politically correct. She just happened to forget she wasn't talking to apologists that day.

#17  remote man: Protest Warrior stickers - outstanding. I'm waiting for my "Hey France, shut the hell up!" t-shirt I ordered over the weekend from the PW folk. Marin...home of Johnny Taliban. You are definitely on the front lines!

#16  babara boxer has no mirrors....What's the point of having mirrors when she casts no reflection. She does however, suffer from cranial rectosis. Cranial rectosis is a serious condition that is a direct result of having your head stuck up your ass....and, if not promptly treated leads to a shitty outlook.

#15  You are absolutely right CS. There are way more "right thinkers" than the LLL suspects. I would love to see Boxer beaten like a red haired step child in November. The folks in Mill Valley would all have to wear Depends.

#14  Remote Man, I am a state worker in Sacramento and I drive LL CRAZY. Every time they spout off about Bush lying or lacking IQ power I ask them to prove it. They stammer and fumble but rarely give an example to support their claim. Babs can and should be defeated in November and I also think California is very much in play. Why you ask? Because of the OUTLANDISH claims and statements made by our elected officials (Babs being just one example). But hang on brother there are more of us VRWC types around and our numbers are growing.

#13  Mojo, I live in Marin as well and it is chock full of communist nut cases. I have a couple of Protest Warrior stickers and a Bush/Cheney sticker on my car just to drive them nuts.

#12   I don't know how someone like that gets up in the morning and looks herself in the mirror.


You mean without breaking them, witch-style, with that coyote ugly mug of hers?

#9  Hey, you think Babs is bad, you should get a load of some of the REAL loonies Marin county breeds.

Seriously. It's scary....

#8  She HAS mirrors?
They both are typical of the "democrat" mentality of this state. Kerry/Edwards will win here so I am voting for Nader :p Nothign I could do will stop The Kerry Klownz/Democrats from taking California.

#7  Maxine was also the one who forced the Cal Guard to remove all of its ammunition from the LA metro area about 6-8 months before the start of the Rodney King riots. Here was her logic (follow me closely here):

* The ammo could only be used in the event of a civil disturbance.
* Whitey thinks that only African-Americans can start a riot.
* Therefore, having ammo at the Los Alamitos Reserve Center is a racist and provocative act.

This was all reported in the LA Times before the riots and before the Internet, so you're just going to trust my memory. Of course no one at the Times ever brought it up after the riots. This, my friends is the real reason it took the Guard 24 hours to hit the streets. The ammo would have had to be transported down the freeways _through_ the riot zone from Camp Roberts. The units were assembled in the armories by midnight the first night and could have been deployed at dawn.

So I'm with Steve. Maxine has a lifetime lock on that trophy. Her actions are the proximate cause of thousands of businesses being destroyed and billions of dollars being lost. For all the fuck ups in my life, I don't know how someone like that gets up in the morning and looks herself in the mirror.

#6  I dunno, FB, Maxine retired that trophy I think -- Lifetime Achievement Richard Cranium Award for her comments in the 2000 election. Baba Bauxer is just a mediocre, tendacious lightweight. She'd never pass the sniff test at Berkeley, but they'll vote for her anyways.

#5  I fear I will never be rid of this harpy and her face lifts in my life time. I nominate her for the Maxine Waters intelect trophy for 2004.
