California Democrat Senator Barbara Boxer ejected a comment during questioning before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee looking into Iraq policies in which the media reflects as “harsh and outrageous”. Although I do not care for Boxer and her policies (especially on gun laws), I do not think that her statement, “You’re not going to pay a particular price, as I understand it, with an immediate family.” necessarily means that Condoleezza Rice is a childless woman, as the media puts it. Immediate family can mean brother, sister, father, mother, husband, or just a family member that she is extremely close to. An immediate family is just a close member of the family. I think that the media is just running out of news and they needed something to target to get some ratings. Also, as Condoleezza Rice puts it, she was confused on the statement of Barbara Boxer. I think the only way to understand the meaning of what Boxer said is to let her explain herself. If you would just listen to the head of the media news about this issue, you would swear with your life that Boxer explicitly said, “Condoleezza Rice is a childless woman!”

Oh wait… What am I doing, I am defending a democrat! This is a first!
