California Democrat Senator Barbara Boxer serves up a
memoir of her 40 years in government. It is a perfect slice of life from the
women who delivered such memorable lines as:
“Those who survived the San Francisco earthquake said
‘thank God, I’m still alive.’ But, of course those who died, their lives will
never be the same again.”
Then apparently missing the fact that she is a carbon
life form…Boxer stated; “Carbon could cost us the planet…the least we could do
is put a little charge on it so people move to clean energy.”
Boxer, a tireless partisan liberal doles out a heaping
helping of self-aggrandizement in The Art
of Tough –Fearlessly Facing Politics and Life. Boxer paints a portrait of someone
who had a tough childhood and grew to be an advocate for the little
guy…interesting for someone who finds herself among the richest half of the
members of Congress.
For someone who will retire from Congress after 40
years, Boxer’s list of actual accomplishments reads like something typical of
most long running democrats; she has managed to start committees and task
forces to look at and talk about issues, but has really managed to actually do
much to actually address the issues. Which at the end of the day is really what
democrats are good at; talking about things but never really fixing anything.
