Democrats raise concerns about Barbara Boxer
« on: July 23, 2009, 05:05:23 PM »
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

By LISA LERER & MANU RAJU | 7/23/09 4:13 AM EDT

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. John Warner (R-Va.) sponsored last year. And several recent embarrassing episodes involving the California Democrat have them worried about a repeat performance.

During a committee hearing in June, Boxer upbraided a brigadier general for calling her “Ma’am” rather than “Senator.” During another hearing this month, Boxer found herself in a testy exchange with the CEO of the National Black Chamber of Commerce, who accused her of “condescending” to him.

For some Democratic staffers, the incidents underscored the danger of having an outspoken partisan liberal in charge of making the kinds of compromises needed to get cap and trade through the Senate.

“One of the criticisms that comes down on Boxer a great deal is that she takes it to really a very personal level,” said one Democratic staffer.

Kudos to The Politico for doing this.

And water is wet.

I mean really...the entire Liberal Democrat party is this way.

The only reason their arrogant demeanor is so visible right now is because they think they've been returned to their rightful place of power and they are letting everyone know it.

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.
