Boxer versus Rice

Barbara Boxer, to Condelleza Rice:  Who pays the price? I’m not going to pay a personal price. My kids are too old and my grandchild is too young.  You’re not going to pay a particular price, as I understand it, with an immediate family. So who pays the price? The American military and their families.

This is interesting.  It’s a faux-outrage, but even the faux-outrage I find fascinating in showing cultural divisions of attitude.  See, I would skip right past that and not make a mental note.  But, to conservative bloggers and columnists the reaction is: “How dare you call Condi a Spinster!”

Culturally, I’m beyond that.  They’re not.  That’s all I have to say about that.
