Sorry, couldn’t resist.

I have another word to call Boxer besides Ma’am… It starts with a “C”….

[...] in order to show the pettiness, condescension and hypocrisy of California’s junior Senator, Ma’am Barbara Boxer, you’ll note that both men, Brig. Gen. Michael Walsh of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and [...]

I still can´t figure out how in the hell she ever made it to the Senate. When she was the candidate in 1992 while still in Congress, she set a record for overdrafts (close to 500) in the congressional bank. That alone should have told the electorate that she was irresponsible. When she was elected to the Senate she was anything but gracious in her victory speech, in particular to her Republican challenger, Bruce Herschensohn.

Most of the people smart enough to vote against Ma’am Boxer left for Arizona, Nevada and Utah a long time ago. She’s safe.

Fiorina’s role in 2008 as John McBailout’s economic and business advisor is troubling, but still, I respect her as a self-made woman and will take her over Boxer any day.

Also, according to Rasmussen, Ma’am Boxer is only running 4 points ahead of her opponent, Carly Fiorina. For a supposedly “entrenched” incumbent to be less than 5 points higher than a political nobody, it doesn’t bode well for Ma’am Boxer:

PS: Looks like Chris Dodd is politically in danger, too. Gotta love it!

Ma’am? When it comes to Boxer, I am reminded of an old story about Harry Truman…

From Time: Truman once offended a friend of his wife’s by referring repeatedly to “the good manure” that must have been used to nurture the fine blossoms at a Washington horticulture show. “Bess, couldn’t you get the President to say ‘fertilizer’?” the woman complained. Replied Mrs. Truman: “Heavens, no. It took me 25 years to get him to say ‘manure.’

The reason she got away with browbeating the General is that she could, and would, ruin his career if he objected in any way. Most of the witnesses who appear before Congress are in the same position or could suffer economically if they made enemies. That is why she was flummoxed when Mr. Alford let her have it. She’s used to sheep, not wolves. She is a bully, amongst other distasteful things.
