| BOXER'S LOW BLOW January 12, 2007 -- 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." Dr. Rice should reply something to the effect of "Not having children is one of the few regrets in my life, but because of it I regard each of those men and women in Iraq as my adopted children." She and Bush are not my favorite politicians, but Lord, they have more class than their opposition. |

| #5 For me, once again shows that Liberalism, Laissez Faire, Diversity, + Alternatism, etc, now and to come exist only as meaningless feel-good, PC/PDeniable "talking points" come elex time, and nothing more. The Gubmint-happy Lefties know there isn't enuff $$$ in all Capitalism, the Universe, or any other -Ism to adequately support everybody's agendas. Socialism achieves "wealth" only when a handful are the beneficiaries. |
