This senator was labelled "The Stupidest Person In The Senate" by Senate staffers--until Patty Murray (D-WA) got there. It looks like Sen. Boxer is trying to reclaim that title.
Democrats raise concerns about Barbara Boxer

A big chunk of the House climate change bill is in the hands of Senate Environment and Public Works Committee Chairwoman Barbara Boxer — and some of its supporters are worried that she’s not up to the task.
In private conversations, Senate staffers say that Boxer’s abrasive personal style helped tank the climate bill that Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.) and former Sen.

This is such a surprise? This from the woman who when, while in the House, had more bounced checks than anyone during the House banking scandal? The same woman who, after the Loma Prieta quake said, "For those who died, their lives will never be the same..."? The same woman who blamed the CA wildfires last year on IRAQ????
This beyatch needs an extra staffer to make sure she gets watered twice a week, she's that ****ing dumb.
