Dumb as a box of bricks

"The President had no choice but to act. Anyone who questions the timing of his decision ignores the fact that we committed a month ago to act if [chief U.N. weapons inspector] Richard Butler reported that Saddam was not cooperating. Those critics are blinded by political considerations."

So said Barbara Boxer in 1998 about President Clinton's air strikes against Iraq's WMD targets. Sad to say, Boxer seems to have amnesia as she continued her attacks today on Secretary of State-designate Condi Rice. Barbara Brick accused Dr. Rice of using "falsehoods" about WMD to justify attacking Iraq, of "selling the war." She also implied that Condi is insensitive to the tragedy of dead and wounded American soldiers, the "direct result" of Bush administration rigidness and misinformation.

The senator is clearly dumb as a box of bricks. Californians are embarrased. At the end of the day the Senate Foreign Relations Committee confirmed Dr. Rice by a vote of 16-2, the 2 naysayers being, of course, Batty Barbi and John Kerry. What a pair! Imagine a Bricks-Kerry ticket in 2008. We should be so lucky.
