Boxer Short on the Concept

Once you get past the disgusting part, the funny part about Barbara Boxer hitting Condoleeza Rice with a modified chickenhawk accusation for being childless, is that Boxer thinks this war will be over soon.

"Who pays the price? I'm not going to pay a personal price. My kids are too old and my grandchild is too young," Boxer said.

Guess again. Especially if you yank the troops out of Iraq with the job undone. The grandkid will most definitely have to study hard and go to college to avoid getting stuck somewhere killing jihadis.

Brad is interested in numbers, short-term. How many dead GIs now. Not how many dead jihadis now, not how many dead Iraqi and American innocents later, or dead GIs after a pullout comes back to bite us in the ass. Because, like Babs, he doesn't get it.

The Strata-sphere likes seeing Barbara, among others, laid bare.

John Cole is astonished that Boxer, lib from San Francisco, would question a single childless woman's right to make policy. Wonder what all the single childless women in San Francisco think about that. If they're anything like Barbara, they're hypocrites, so she's fine.

Viking pundit plants his battle axe in Boxer's excuse for an excuse.

Joe Hughes over at TMPCsomething-or-other is indignant about rightwing name-calling and hot-and-botheredness. He and his pals are the only ones who have a right to do that. Sort of like Barbara should not be considered a hypocrite for attacking an unmarried career woman's failure to breed because ... Barbara is a champion of unmarried non-breeding career women.

Pass the popcorn. This is a good show.

This is my greatest fear for my own grandchildren. That the likes of this halfwit vote whore Boxer will force us to give up too soon, and it will have to be done all over again a few years down the road, and it will be twice as hard.
