Go Barbara!
A senator with the ovaries to call it like it really is while giving them hell all the way. Call 'em on the carpet girlfriend - you go!

"WASHINGTON -- Sen. Barbara Boxer and secretary of state nominee Condoleezza Rice clashed at Rice’s confirmation hearing Tuesday, with Boxer accusing Rice of lying and Rice hotly denying it.

"This is my personal view, that your loyalty to the mission you were given to sell this war overwhelmed your respect for the truth," the fiery California Democrat told Rice. ...

"It was the total picture, senator, not just weapons of mass destruction, that caused us to decide that post-Sept. 11 it was finally time to deal with Saddam Hussein," Rice disagreed.

"Well you should read what we voted on when we voted to support the war," Boxer interrupted, noting that she was among the minority of senators who voted no. "It was WMD period."
