Here's the real deal on the loud complaining by Senate Democrats. It's the reason there's any debate at all on the confirmation of Condoleezza Rice as Secretary of State.
Republicans also noted that Boxer -- whom Rice accused of unfairly challenging her credibility at the Foreign Relations Committee's two-day hearing last week -- recently issued a fundraising letter for the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee that said Republicans "didn't count on me to ask the tough questions" of Rice. Rice spokesman Jim Wilkinson said the letter "puts to rest any doubts some may have had that this is all about politics." Confirming a secretary of state, he said, "was designed to be a constitutional duty, not a political fundraising opportunity."
I think Republicans can always count on Boxer to be a lefty wing nut. No surprise there.
