CA-Sen: Senator Barbara Boxer Lying About Condi Rice Remarks?
Apparently, as Debra Saunders has the goods.
Boxer also said: “I was criticizing the fact that she didn’t know how many people died in Iraq. Absolutely I was.”
There’s just one problem. Boxer never asked Rice how many U.S. troops had died in Iraq when she began her “personal price” remarks. In fact, Boxer had not asked Rice a single question. She was engaged in her usual filibustering.
You can watch the exchange on C-SPAN, starting at about 01:42:48.
I can see why Boxer would want to believe that she put her foot in her mouth — and somehow it was Rice’s fault, but the tale turns out to be a figment of Barbara Boxer’s self-aggrandizing imagination.
Nice to know that Boxer’s foreign policy decisions/votes will be based on whether her children or grandchildren have a stake in the matter rather than what is best for the United Sates and/or California.
Time for Boxer to go and elect Carly Fiorina.
