BOXER NIPPING AT HER HEELS:
California Senators Spar Over Rice (AP, January 16, 2005)
The two high-profile Democrats who represent California in the Senate are squaring off over Condoleezza Rice, the president's nominee to be secretary of state. [...][Sen. Dianne] Feinstein accepted Rice's invitation to introduce her to the committee, and praised her in a statement Friday as "the natural choice to be our country's next secretary of state."
[Barbara] Boxer gave a hint Friday on how she is expected to greet Rice at the Tuesday hearing.
"I personally believe that your loyalty to the mission you were given overwhelmed your respect for the truth," Boxer plans to tell Rice, according to prepared remarks she released Friday.
Ms Rice could hardly ask for a more favorable opponent in terms of advancing her own career, a too far Left intellectual lightweight from her home state. Posted by Orrin Judd at January 17, 2005 10:42 AM
"I personally believe that your loyalty to the mission you were given overwhelmed your respect for the truth."
Which translates from Leftspeak as "You are a subservient liar,": and, considering the source, is also a way of saying "You are just like me," which is the real insult.
