#1 Funny, that after insinuating for years now that Rice is a lesbian, all of a sudden no mention of that accusation. Which would of course mean that Barbara Boxer thinks lesbians are incapable of making hard decisions.

#2 I agree with Fred, we all will pay the price in the long run. A few, for many.

Senator Boxer can always focus on specific personal losses; if that is her only measure of cost, then she is clearly not ready to pay any price herself to make tough decisions.
Pandering is for children, not adults.

#3 The homourable Senator misses another key point: if we do not win this war in the short run, her little grandchild will have no choice but to pay the price in the long run, along with all its younger relatives, and its older ones, too. And that is what the childless Secretary of State is working to avoid.

#4 Boxer's not fit to lick the bottom of Rice's boots.

#5 Boxer's not fit to lick the bottom of Rice's boots.

I was thinking more along the lines of "Not fit to lick the week-old game on the bottom of Rices tennis shoes."

#6 If we do not win this war in the short run, her little grandchild will have no choice but to pay the price in the long run

How sad. A "mere housewife" gets it, but the honorable Senator doesn't have a clue. Of course, unlike the Senator, tw doesn't suffer from Bush Derangement Syndrome and has no need to engage in partisan political posturing.

#8 Dem Senators: top to bottom, useless bags of fecal matter devoid of any cognitive ability. They, as a group, are one of the best arguments for eugenics I've ever seen. And Biden deserves to be doing time in Leavenworth for treason.

#9 You flatter me, SteveS. Unlike the honourable Senator (ha! no typo this time!), I've had the advantage of a Rantburg education -- and y'all are wonderful teachers.
