All by her lonesome: Sen. Boxer and the empty chairs
Remember the Barbara Boxer eco-power grab I told you about this morning? (Here.) Well, Babs “Don’t call me ma’am” Boxer went ahead with the markup “hearing” on her global warming bill despite the absence of all but one Republican (George Voinovich). She sat alone during markup doing nothing for 15 minutes. I obtained photos and video of the spectacle. Viva bipartisanship!

boxer should be sat in a locked room in her district until her term is up….
I guess this old gal loves to hear her talk. What a zoo our dc bunch is!
L
Who was the “lone Republican”?
Sears catalog or DC Yellow pages?
What she using to prop herself up to the big person’s table?
That is funny! Bet she wishes there were someone there to call her ma’am…even a conservative domestic terrorist and dissenter.
Hey, show some respect for Sen. Boxer! She has worked really, really hard to get where she is today – sitting alone, doing nothing. If only we could get her to do that all day, every day, the Republic might be safe.
Who was the “lone Republican”?
Clayton Moore?
Cue up the Eric Carmen…
Just look at the pictures and run the caption…”Senator Barbara Boxer (D-CA) wonders why everyone cleared the room when she presented her bill. A fleeing Democrat senator was overheard to say, ‘That bill smelled like sh*t!’”.
Listening to Boxcar is like walking into an empty room — oh wait!!
I hope the rotting carcass of the global warming bill doesn’t add too much methane to the atmosphere. What a huge carbon footprint it will leave.
Since Boxer has a lot of time on her hands, maybe she should come up with a formula to present to the pay czar to cut Al Gore’s compensation by 90%. His profits are obscene by anyone’s standards.
She wasn’t “doing nothing.” She was coloring.
Shouldn’t this say lone “fake Republican”?
Although, I suppose the Republicans are becoming just another Liberal party..
Forget I said anything.. Carry on..
Conservative People Rule!
who did she tell to “talk amongst yourselves”? I mean there was no one else at the table. Is she on drugs?
Shame she won’t sit and say and do nothing for the length of her term.
Do these people not care how bizarre they look? Or do they think we won’t find out the silly shenanigans they are playing for the cameras?
THEY ALL NEED TO GO!

To answer your question – YES
The video lasted 3 minutes before the camera died of bordem.
Just think folks, we paid her to do this.
BTW watch V tonight and note the similarities…
just saying…
Wouldn’t there at least be some other Democrats there? And where is the lone republican? Who were all those chairs for? I agree with BobonStatenIsland that this is the perfect way for my senator to spend her time.
Sometimes people hear voices that aren’t really well.. External to them..
How foolish of Boxer to waste this opportunity to campaign for the democrats in todays elections!
/bad Kim Jong is Ill immitation ala Team America…
“I’m so ronery…”
/runs out of the thread before he can be called Raaacccciiistttt….

RACIST OR SOMETHING…
This is a cruel and grossly unfair statement to make about a United States Senator as distinguished as the Junior Senator for CA.
I am sure that during those 15 minutes, the Senator had a wide ranging discussion on several topics critical to this country with the little voices in her head.
Bard suffers from a perpetual Fugue State:
“a disturbed state of consciousness in which the one affected seems to perform acts in full awareness but upon recovery cannot recollect the acts performed”
Looks kind of like a picture of the inside of her head.
“One Is The Looniest Number” 3 Dog Night.
This is a monumental achievement for her Right Honorable Royal Highness Madam Senator Babsie Boxer. A committee meeting on Carbon crapology is held and no tax dollars were spent. May all of her future efforts prove to be so inefffectual.
Well there’s always this possibility in the near future.
What they never told us back in elementary school in the 50’s is that that crude paper they gave us for practicing our long-hand writing was actually toilet paper imported from – the USSR and hence the reason why they never seemed to have enough for themselves.
(In my journey searching images I came across this - WTH?)
I hope DeVore is capturing video like this and Sen. Boxer (the cute half of CA Sen. Boxenstein) when she was chairing a hearing with the head of the Black Chamber of Commerce. Remember that? All he needs to do is show her in her historic magnificence and clearly state his principles and then we’ll see about replacing the other half of Boxenstein with, for example, Darrel Issa.
In fact, just moments before that room was standing room only! That dirty, rotten, low-down Fox News carefully chose a shot of an empty room just to make her look bad!
I know because I am one of the voices in her head, and I asked her!
So
!
Let her chair her meetings in a padded cell.
Like the commercial says: “Where will you be when your laxative kicks in.”
With that “Porta Jon”, who cares!
And, I like THIS toilet paper better.
That picture pretty much sums up the enthusiasm that country has for the Cap and Tax Bill. I hope that the idiots in Congress got the message for good.
She’s awful. She’s helped wreck my state AND my country. I’m so ashamed of her.
She’s all by herself along with her other five personalities. This woman’s ego is so huge, she would be content sitting in a room talking to herself.

My question exactly.
Funny, those empty chairs are more useful than the people who normally occupy them, no matter the party.
I was looking at the pic of all those empty chairs and thought about Boxcar playing musical dolt all by herself.
I hope she addresses herself as “Senator”instead of “ma’am. Is she sitting there talking to herself? Thats a real confidence winner if she is.
Voinovich was the ‘lone Republican’.
I thought perhaps he was sent in to poke Boxer in the eye, but with this statement, I’m not so sure:
The GOP had to be Lindsey Graham
Another good reason for term limits. This woman should never have served a day. No wonder Cali is a disaster. Calling Snake Pliskin.
Pathetic, just pathetic.
She and her husband should be in Jail. Look it up.
Dang! I thought you said Eric Cartman.
This just in: Tomorrow
MadamSenator Boxer will hold an emergency bipartisan committee (of one) meeting to discuss whether the law of gravity is constitutional. New scientific data from UCLA Berkely casts considerable doubt on the ancient law, and MS Babsy believes it should be amended.Film at 11.
where were her demcocrat posse? did they not want to hear what this bizzy ditch had to say either.
almost at big as dear leader’s ego…
dang how the heck did I do that one….fat fingers…I only wanted the last part not the entire thread…geeze…my bad….
Voinovich is another RINO!
Hahahahahaha!! Makes my day. I especially love the part where Babs reaches down for what looks to be her purse, and gets out a phone?, blackberry?. Whatever, we girls know that trick from when you’re in a bar by yourself waiting for someone and you don’t want to look like you’re a loser. See! I know people! I have friends!
heh heh heh
Does ABC even know that they are showing a series where the BAD GUYS are advocating Hope and Change? And they turn out to be fascists?
I’d love to see ABC reconcile their belief that fascism is right-wing but the evil aliens in their series offer the open-ended liberal socialist tripe of Hope and Change.
Unless this series ends differently than the original; aliens and humans embrace on a mountain top singing “Kumbaya” and “I’d like to teach the world to sing” while a president that looks suspiciously like the B.O. is assumed into heaven from the middle of the mountain-top singers.
What part of ‘no more spending’ do these fools not understand?
Trey Parker and Matt Stone
Team America, World Police
Written originally for Kim Jong Il, but seems appropriate here as well.
Apologies if it’s already been posted.
Thank you Michelle for sharing that wonderful video. I’ve shared it with many friends on the net, and I did, of course, include a link to this topic here. ;o)
HAHAHAHAHA!
It’s like the Mad Hatter’s tea party! ‘Talk among yourselves’!!!?? WHO?!
She’s going to sit there by herself until she calls a recess at 12:20. Seriously, is mental illness covered in the Senate health plan? This woman needs help. It’s too bad she didn’t turn this into a referendum on race relations in America too.
I’m convinced that our Senators are idiots.
I posted this in the previous thread on this topic but….
In related stupidity, some students at my school, inspired by the 350 PPM figure that was pulled out of you know where, are sleeping outside from now to the end of the Semester/Copehagen to protest using buildings with “dirty energy.” Who says they don’t want use ALL living like that? From what I heard some sneak back inside during the night when they don’t think anyone is watching, and more often than not only 1 or 2 people do it out of close to 3K on campus.
Clayton Moore….
Wasn’t he the guy who said “It’s the economy, Tonto.”?
“…twinkle, twinkle little bat
how I wonder where you’re at…
up above the world so high
like a tea-tray in the sky…”
sorry, but the Mad-Hatter tea party reference just brings it out in me.
Love it.
Next time she should bring her manacurist– Show us how she can multi-task
