Please understand that there were many of us here in the land of fruits & nuts who did not vote for Barbara Boxer. I have never paid any attention to her. Seeing her on the local news is sometimes unavoidable, but she has done nothing to improve her standing in my eyes. I just wonder if she believes her own BS.

The appropriate way to address Dr. Rice is Dr. Rice. I think she may also be properly referred to as "Secretary of State designate".

Comrade Boxer is nothing less than a parody of herself. She is sanctimonious, arrogant and condecending. All good qualities if you are an Ultra Liberal.

Maybe I'm mistaken. I'm sure I have forgotten most of the rules of etiquette that I may have ever learned. But - is it not appropriate, in most settings, to need to refer to someone by their official title no more than once, and then as Mr., Mrs., etc. thereafter? And are not members in congress customarily addressed as, Mr., Mrs., Ms., etc. while on the floor? Guess I don't pay enough attention to notice.

Sure don't need to pay much attention to notice how hate filled and bitter Boxer is though! (No respect intended). Mad

As a native Californian, I must advise one and all that Barbara Boxer was born (11 Nov 1940) and raised in Brooklyn, NY. I would have to renounce my Native Sons of the Golden West membership if it turned out she was a native of California.

On the other hand, Dianne Feinstein was born in San Francisco (22 June 1933). Although a committed Dem, she seems to have mellowed somewhat of late. She is an admirer of Dr. Rice and strongly supports her confirmation. Maybe it's because she and Dr. Rice have common roots via Stanford.

Boxers's attitude is typical of feminist left. "We're fierce, we're feminists and we're in your face" until someone stands up to them and let's them have it right back, then it's the "we're victims" line.

'Either way it is wordy compared with the Mrs., Miss.... or what would have been more correct Ms.'

Anyone know where the title 'Ms.' originated? I do. Way-y-y back in the middle 60's I was a regional officer in what was then the largest international organization of Administrative Assistants. At that time salutations were still used in business letters. This organization (NSA) made a decision: when answering a letter from 'Jane Doe' whose marital status was unknown, the title 'Ms.' was used--a combination of Mrs. and Miss.

My current view on the title 'Ms.?' It's short for 'miserable.' Laughing

I called Senator Powder Puff this morning and left her a nice message stating that I am embarrassed to be a Californian and she definately does not represent me. I also told her that due to her recent behavior I will make it a priority to see to it she gets ousted. I finished the call by letting her know that she can keep dreaming about being Secretary of State because by 2008 her daughters sister-in-law Hillary will have been indicted.

Here's a fun twist on Ms Boxer’s continuing explication that she knows naught of the world of intelligence gathering.... and analysis.

Some days later she is continuing to Blather on, this evening on the McNiell/Leher show. In her efforts to continue her attacks on Dr. Rice she repeatedly details Dr. Rice's variant public statements regarding very dynamic analyses originating from what we now know might be a completely compromised group of intelligence agencies.

Agencies Razed by the Clinton Village Chiefs: --Berger and Tennant (who knows what richard clark was up to) Two of the presidents holdovers from the previous administration. Bush's vain and damaging gesture of compromise with the increasingly ever explosive, partisan, Democratic Leadership following the last election. ( the guys who trashed the Old Executive Office Building at the conclusion of the 2000 election, the building where the NSC does most its real work.)

Well Ms Boxer here's a update for you, you may wish to be advised that analysis of intelligence changes radically from day to day. However this seems to have escaped her sphere of awareness over these past years while serving on the United States Senate's Committee on Foreign Relations.

From my perch I dare say to have the privilege and honor of serving on such a committee requires a certain degree of scholarship of the subject matter concerned. Daily now Ms Boxer is making it clear such scholarship is far beneath her station in life. Unfortunately this is quite harmful for the helmsman ship of International Security Policy..... anyway I digress. Clearly there are few things on this earth benieth Ms Boxer's ethical horizon..... yet somehow schlorship and integrety to service are?

Tonight on the Lehrer show Gwen Iffill actually asked a pointed question of Ms Boxer. The query concerned the reality that Ms Boxer is circulating... currently a fundraising letter citing her tough opposition to Dr. Rice's nomination as cause to donate $ to her, Ms Boxer. Gwen Iffil pointed out that this raised some questions as to Ms Boxer's motivation in her ongoing condescending grandstanding.

Boxer's reply was that this was absolutely not the case as the Republicans ask for money every day?????! What the hell does that have to do with the question at hand (boxer's conflict of interest), I don't know. Further she elaborated that others (Sen Biden) in the committee had joined her in her 'attacks' (my word, not hers).

Well Joe Biden is quite the reference character to use...... Mr. Biden who sits on the Senate Ethics Committee as well has his own 'Kerry Gate' closet full of Skeletons:
