Slow news cycle

The Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-CA) remark about Condi Rice never having married and borne kids so she can't appreciate the full price families pay for war, it was in poor taste but not "outrageous, breathtaking, where to begin? the Mother of All Insults" as conservatives have characterized it. Both the Left and Right have their own funhouses, those hallways full of mirrors that distort and magnify things. Last we checked there was a giant pubic hair chasing Anita Hill. It's always much more fun to do this rather than keep things in their proper perspective, that's why we call it a funhouse.

I'm watching "The McLaughlin Group" this Sunday morning and this Eleanor Clift from Newsweek has been on for years, never seems to take a vacation. I'm starting to think of her not as a panelist but as a drab wilted plant they have for the decor, change it already.

Here's a quick test as to whether you are really a conservative or a neoconservative. You have to choose on this one and you can't say both but if we went back in time and had the choice to bring either Osama or Saddam to justice who would it be? If you said Saddam instead of Osama you have a larger geopolitical agenda at work.People who masturbate your mind

  1. Hey lets face it, It’s nothing new or out of the ordinary for Democrats to take cheap shots at their opponents. Theirs is a political philosophy that runs on emotion rather than logic and careful thought. At times they say things that are incredibly hurtful specifically to elicit certain reactions from people and other times they just run their mouths without thinking of the consequences.

    I'm not sure which it was in the case of Boxers scandalous attack on Secretary of State Condi Rice. It boggles the imagination to think these people could be so cold and callous. Can you just imagine the outrage if the situation were reversed? It would still be in the new, not swept under the rug like it was. Lets face it, it's forgotten already!

    Not all Democrats are such vile scum as this one is, but most of them are.. They damned well need to clean up their act. They’ve become emboldened with their new status as the House and Senate majority leaders and they are no longer even trying to hide their true natures

  2. Cisc makes some good points.. When we look back to past Secretaries I am reminded of the debacle of Madelene Albright and the ineffectualness of her diplomatic mission after all if she would have been effective then we would not have been forced to react to 9/11 attacks hatched in Afghanistan and and we would not have used precious resources to get into the middle of a European concerned civil war in the Balkans.They are the kind of things that history teaches us.

  3. Boxer's remarks were of course in very poor taste but there was a point behind them. All I'm saying is it wasn't on a par with Holocaust denial in their outrageousness. Bad manners is not necessarily hyperbole.
