Barbara Boxer calls Palin 'an extremist'
(The Raw Story) - Senator Barbara Boxer (D-CA) has become the latest female Democratic leader to slam Republican vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin, telling reporters on Thursday that Palin is "an extremist" and "way out of the mainstream."
"My impression of Sarah Palin is that she can throw a very strong punch, a very sarcastic punch," Boxer began. "I think her speech was laced with ridicule. ... People will respond differently to that. It didn't move me very much. I was uncomfortable with it."
"But the most important thing, it seems to me, is her record and her views," continued Boxer. "She's an extremist. And she's way out of the mainstream. And it's ... hard for me to imagine how Democrats, moderate Republicans, and moderate independents can embrace the McCain-Palin ticket."

And Nancy Pelosi is apparently going to take up her bishop's invitation to "have a chat". Of course, I'm sure she will try to tell the bishop the way things should be instead of listening to what the Church defines as dogma.
In consequence of her comments about Governor Palin, Barbara Boxer exemplifies a paradox: A useful idiot can be an annoying idiot.
