Boxer's Rebellion

Did anyone catch Sen. Barbara Boxer's righteous
performance during the Rice confirmation hearing? Would
that others had her courage and forthrightness.
For the official record, Dr. Rice was confirmed 16-2.
But Sen. Boxer called out the good doctor and held her
accountable, and the poor thing was so flustered
she huffily stated something to the effect of, "Senator,
I wish we could do this without your impugning my integrity."

Ha! Integrity. That's a good one. Oh, I'm sorry, was
that a mushroom cloud I just saw?
