update on Boxer. This is what she has said in her defense (regarding remarks that she made at Condi Rice. Click here for more):
“What I was trying to do in this exchange was to find common ground with Condi Rice,” Ms. Boxer said, adding that “my whole point was to focus on the military families who pay the price.”
“They’re getting this off on a non-existent thing that I didn’t say,” Ms. Boxer said. “I’m saying, she’s like me, we do not have families who are in the military. What they are doing is a really tortured way to attack a United States Senator who voted against the war.”
Clearly, she has visited the Bill Clinton Institute for truth-telling.
So, a non-existent thing that she didn't say is the problem? Well, lets ignore that strange grammatical construction and go deeper.
Truth: Boxer wanted to portray Rice as uncaring and irresponsible with the lives of others.
Is that true? Is Rice uncaring? Is she irresponsible because she has no children?
The implication is insulting, and Barbie Boxer, if she had any sense, would just say she's sorry and move on.
But, instead of wisdom, she is a politician --never give in, right, Barbie?
This is why our politics is so divided.
