The day after his re-election, there is speculation that Arnold Schwarzenegger’s next race will be for Barbara Boxer’s Senate seat in 2010.
Which would be a shame, since it would mean that the Independent Sources - owned domain boxer2016.com will have no value. Because we don’t see America’s Most Annoying Senator (r) winning that race.

Securities class action firm Milberg Weiss is in the news again (as in, the law firm that might be indicted for conspiracy — that Milberg Weiss). And this Milberg Weiss:

Many Democrats Received Funds From Law Firm Targeted By Grand Jury
Milberg Weiss announced […]
California’s most obnoxious elected official, U.S. Senator Barbara Boxer, announced that she is introducing a bill that would require new federal government cars to achieve a minimum 45 mpg. Her bill would provide incentives for states to follow suit. Expect California to jump on that bandwagon.
Will we see a Hummer-less Governator on the campaign trail […]
On Monday, when Senator Barbara Boxer asked Daily Kos readers to sign a petition to Donald Rumsfeld, her thread was immediately hijacked by commenters who showed the impeccable logic and sense of reality for which Kos readers are justly reknowned. A sampling:

A Field Poll released today shows that Senator Barbara Boxer’s approval rating has fallen to a nine year low of 41%. That nadir is driven by a 13% drop in approval by Democrats over the past year, accompanied by a 5% drop among non-partisan respondents.

FactCheck.org tells us that
A liberal, labor-funded group calling itself Americans United for Change (previously Americans United to Preserve Social Security) is running a $1-million national advertising campaign that makes some dubious claims and tries to imply more than it can prove.
Talk about rebranding! They used to be in favor of preserving the status quo, but […]
Resolved for 2006: to not let Barbara Boxer bragging about her “highest vote total in U.S. Senate history” raise my blood pressure (see here, here, and her official bio here).
It’s almost impossible not to be in the top two when you’re in the nation’s most populous state (and facing inept candidates makes it a slam […]
Senator Barbara Boxer (D - Marin County) has been complaining for months that in her estimation, the administration has no “plan” for Iraq. For instance, in a statement on October 25th:
…let us honor the lives of those who continue to serve by developing a credible plan for Iraq. It is time for this Administration to […]
We promise — this is our last excerpt from a review of Barbara Boxer’s trashy novel A Time To Run (until another good one comes along). This time, even lefty SF Weekly can’t get behind the Senator (D-Marin County):
… any legislator can write sex scenes involving humans. What lifts Boxer’s debut is an episode in […]
The National Review’s John J. Miller has a summary of the worst parts of Barbara Boxer’s novel, “A Time To Run.” We’ve covered some before (see the end of this post) — such as “kneecaps that reminded him of golden apples,” but he’s got some other unintentionally hilarious excerpts. Overall, he writes, “saying that A […]
(click on post title, or here, for the rest)“Conservatives like to charge that liberals have no new ideas. Unfortunately, (Senator Barbara Boxer’s novel) “A Time to Run” seems to prove them right.”
- Ana Marie Cox, aka Wonkette, in the New York Times Book Review today.
The usually acerbic Cox lets the Senator’s effort off easy compared to some other reviewers.
We do get […]
“(Senator Barbara Boxer’s novel) “A Time to Run” is basically three plots, loosely related, stuck together with champagne and fornication.”
- from a review by David Von Drehle, Staff Writer at The Washington Post
Ever wonder why Barbara Boxer seems to really hate Republicans? Von Drehle’s glimpse inside her new book reveals that they have Stepford wives, […]
Washington, November 3, 1943 — In a letter to Secretary of War Henry Stimson on Thursday, Sen. Sheridan Downey, D-Calif., said the uncertainty over when U.S. forces will be withdrawn from the Pacific Theater is untenable amid continued violence.
“I am writing to express my frustration over the administration’s continued failure to set benchmarks for the […]
Senator Barbara Boxer, D-CA was on The Daily Show to push her new novel “A Time To Run,” but had time to say of Judge Samuel Alito:
“He’s a very soft-spoken man, but some of his rulings have been harsh.”
… thus encapsulating everything wrong with her approach to the role of the judiciary. Should they be […]
Q: Have you paid a price for standing up to this Administration?
Senator Barbara Boxer, D-CA: What’s happened that the right-wing pundits attack me every single day of my life, but I wear it like a badge of honor. I measure my effectiveness by the vociferousness of their attacks. So I must be doing a lot […]
