Boxer Bites Democracy's Ankle
When PEST-deranged moonbats lobbied Senators to contest Bush's clear reelection victory on the grounds that they preferred Kerry, who would have thought that anyone entrusted with the responsibility of serving in the United States Senate would be contemptible enough to actually indulge them?
Sadly, you could almost expect such antics from certain members of the House — the mentally ill elf Dennis Kucinich and his turkey-stealing cohort John Conyers are among the first to come to mind. But no one is about to elect those clowns to the Senate. And without a Senator's backing, a recess of the joint session is not triggered, and democracy rolls forward as the irresponsible stunt is ignored.
Surely any Senator — like the vast majority of Representatives in the House — would have the honor, the decency, the common sense, and the love of their country to respect the will of the voters.
Any Senator but one.
Turning up her snout not only at the will of the voters but at the very concept of voting, Senator Barbara Boxer joined in with the House's loony-tunes contingent to temporarily delay the formal declaration of Bush's second term, alleging vague "voting irregularities," as reported by Fox News.
Boxer admitted in advance that she knew this asinine prank would not allow her to overturn the election and install her own candidate. But she did manage to delay the certification for a couple of hours. She managed to encourage seditious moonbats in their delusion that the U.S. Government lacks legitimacy. She even managed to embarrass her country. As an added bonus, she got her muzzle in front of some cameras.
Not even Kerry supported her, and Republican representatives were understandably appalled. Deborah Pryce (R-Ohio) observed that the intention of Boxer et al. was to "undermine public confidence in the electoral system itself." Senator Mike DeWine (R-Ohio) couldn't help but notice that election irregularity charges were "wild, incoherent and completely unsubstantiated."
"Every time we doubt the process, we cast doubt on that fabric of democracy that's so important," Roy Blunt (R-Missouri) pointed out. "People do need to have confidence that the process works."
But for some, it only "works" if they come out the winner.

Exceptionally well-stated, and VanHelsing also wins the Preternatural Prescience award for yesterday's post on this very topic. He (I assume), or she, should only be cautioned not to insult neither the mentally ill nor (especially) elves by associating them with popularly elected moonbats. (Legolas could kick your butt, though you were great with that gas-powered crossbow.) You know, I hear that Santa is an equal opportunity employer. In fact, when Kucinich ends his amusing run as Communist-in-Residence in the House, perhaps there's a future awaiting him in cooler climes.
“What, then, might happen to the *Christ* in Christmas?”
OK, forget I suggested it.
Only other request: My goodness, wherever you got that mug of the Boxbab, burn it! That sucker sent shivers all up and down my netherparts.
Shoot first,

It is often said that most politicians have more money than brains. However, it really doesn't matter because each and every one are voted into office by their constituancies. Yes, Ms Boxer, the same system that placed you in your current position of power also placed our current president in his position of power. After listening to your rants, perhaps there is something wrong with our system...How could any body of voters be so stupid??? Perhaps someone needs to carefully examine HOW you managed to fool so many folks, all at the same time. But, on the other hand, your constituency base is located in, Mexifornia, the land of illegals, most of whom are not very bright. This, through no fault of their own but nevertheless...
