#1 I just love this crap. She has truly lost it.

#2 We lose. Again. Guess we'll have to get used to it. But thanks for giving me the opportunity to meet people who are even screwier then me.

In Friendship,

The Bag Lady

#4 Watching somebody's inexorable slide into insanity should not be this entertaining.

#5 she's from Marin county - the descent will be unnoticeable to her neighbors

#6 Your support and participation in this critical debate meant so much to me.
"It *sniff* showed me that I wasn't the only lunatic out there . . ."

#7 Does she matter? No.

Californians be bold, dump this dip shit next time she runs for reelection. She is a total embarassment to your state and our country.

#8 "You like me! You really like me!"
(Cue "Wind Beneath My Wings" in the background....)
Dear sweet God, is this what the Democrats have become? Lord save us all...

#9 Ca's would like to dump her - but the Republican party always insists on some putz that is less palatable to Californians than Boxer is. She'd be easy to beat with the right candidate - but the Repubs don't want any more RINO's diluting the purity of their party - so we get wacko Boxer.

#10 She'll win again. There is no Republican party in Califronia. The four safest seats in America are the Senate seats in CA and MA. NY, VT, CT are in close for third.

#11 Despite popular belief, the majority of people in CA are not loon birds who sit in hot tubs, but normal people who have families. What is different in CA is that they are more socially liberal. They support environmental issues, mass transit, and are more socially liberal on issues such as abortion, gays etc. Thus, the candidates who support ideas such as fiscal conservatism, curbing illegal immigration, family values (other than abortion) are unwanted by the Republican party and don't get on the ticket.

It's the same suicide that the Dems are doing now at a federal level - pushing the moderates out in favor of the pure.

#12 I sent Babs an email expressing my disapointment of the "Election Debacle" resolution that she was the only one to vote for. She responded by sending me the entire speech! I know it was some staffer on her behalf but they reallly don't get it. I responded with the following:
Dear Senator Boxer,

Since you were the ONLY Senator to vote in favor of your kooky resolution, you might think that maybe, just maybe, in was seen as the act of a sore loser than someone seeking voter rights. If someone in one of those counties felt 'disenfranchised' why didn't they file a formal complaint with the election commission? To date there are no complaints filed with any equal rights, civil rights, or voter rights commission.
As a retired service veteran I find your linkage to our troops in harms way and your conspiracy rants on the Senate floor particularly offensive. Please stop it you embarrass their service and your state. If your statements can't pass the giggle test in the Senate don't drag our servicemen and women with you.
Finally, nobody needs a civil rights lesson from you or anybody of your ilk. There are not white-robed conservative roaming downtown Cleveland stopping people from voting. Ask your esteemed colleague from West Virginia how that little trick works because it's not something coming from Republicans. In fact IF there were long lines or too few voting machines the blame the Democratic leaders in those districts because they are responsible for voting methods and machines. FYI they didn't file any complaints as well.

God Bless and watch over you,

P.S. Nice call having a Klan member hold up the vote on Dr. Rice. I can't wait for the vote on Gonzales.!

#13 Moonbats of a feather flock together.

"Hey, hey! Wait a minute! Stop right there!"

Oh--Senator Boxer! Surprised to see you here in Rantburg. Fred! Quick, get the troll net! Have you been to the Convention & Visitors' Bureau Welcome Center yet? They've got a really nice published Visitor's Guide and--

"Stop that inane civic boosterism, young man, you've no business imitating a PR flack when I have a serious complaint. You commented on my thank-you letter to Daily Kos and said, quote, 'Moonbats of a feather flock together', did you not?"

Well, yeah.

"That's totally wrong."

How so, Ma'am? It's a play on an old saying which is a metaphor for the fact that people of like ideology tend to congregate.

"I know that, you fool, I'm a highly educated member of the cognitive elite."

And, well, ma'am, um, you and the Kos crowd are of like ideology.

"Of course we are!"

And they are--well, not to put too fine a point on it--moonbats. Barking moonbats, actually.

"I suppose."

So where have I gone wrong?

"You fool, you're too stupid to see it! It's really quite simple: Bats! Don't! Have! Feathers!"

#14 "More than 94,000 Americans from across the country signed my petition..."

Gee whiz! Out of (dig, dig) the 122,267,553 people who cast votes, y'mean Babs?

Why, that's nearly 0.08 percent of voters!

Impressive, huh?

#16 She'd be easy to beat with the right candidate - but the Repubs don't want any more RINO's diluting the purity of their party - so we get wacko Boxer.

So run a third candidate against both of them. Or run more moderate people in both primaries. Or vote with your feet and leave the freaking state.

#17 Cyber Sarge, I called her office to thank her. I told her staffer that Boxer's antics re: certifying the election and approving Rice had finally made up my mind -- I am taking my money and my energy over to the Repubs, and switching my party registration.

The staffer hung up on me LOL. BUT ... I also called Harry Reid's office, told them he's a disaster and I was switching. THEY caught their breath before they hung up ... I guess they're getting fewer calls than the obnoxious nose/hair lady ....
