The San Francisco Chronicle asked Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-CA) about her appalling 2007 remarks in which she insinuated that Condoleeza Rice had no stake in Iraq because she had no children. Boxer explained:
I asked her how many people had died and she did not know the answer to that question. And since we had lost a lot of Californians, I was concerned.
It’s not clear to me why that would excuse her remarks, but more to the point, it’s entirely untrue. In fact, when Boxer made those remarks she had not yet asked Rice any questions at all, nor did she ever ask that question, even subsequently.
