"Senator," Rice whined, "I have never, ever lost respect for the truth in the service of anything. It's not in my nature. It's not in my character. And I would hope we could have this conversation... without impugning my credibility or my integrity."

Rice's problem was that her credibility and integrity had been impugned -- not by Boxer but by the nominee herself. All Boxer did was bring Rice's deceptions to light and, perhaps most significantly, to link them to the continuing crisis in Iraq. In so doing, she shamed a number of her fellow Democrats into joining her in opposition not just to Rice but to the administration's entire approach to the war.

And the write of the article says early on that this was a NECESSARY
exchange! Great!


Boxer, the California Democrat who has been increasingly vocal in her objections to the Bush administration's reign of error and excess, seized the opening provided by President Bush (news - web sites)'s nomination of Condoleezza Rice (news - web sites) to serve as Secretary of State to try and force a necessary discussion about the misstatements, misconceptions and misdeeds that Rice and others in the administration used to make the "case" for the invasion and occupation of Iraq. And, to the surprise even of some war foes, she got it.

Barbara's got it right!
YEAAAAAA!!!!!!
Vote it a 5 and KEEP IT KICKED!!!!!

She should have replied...."I can't impunge your credibility or integrity Ms. Rice because you possess neither. You are either a liar or you are ignorant and someone as well papered as you proclaim yourself to be certainly can't be the later. Furthermore, it is not your place to instruct me and the constituancy I represent on whether or how I address your lack of integrity. You are seeking employment from my constituancy and me, not the other way around. Your tone suggests a belief that you are above reproach and that I as a representative of the people have no right or power to deliver that reproach. These United States are not a dictatorship Ms. Rice, they are a representative Democracy, one before which you have come to seek employment, I suggest you keep that in mind and address my constituancy accordingly."
