Who knew? There’s a sartorial sincerity standard, it seems, and the good news is that California’s own Barbara Boxer knows what it is. She must know, after all, since she can discern when people are too well-dressed to have a legitimate beef with the government.
We can hope that Her Boxificence will “share” sometime soon, so we’ll know what attire to show up in for the upcoming Total Blowout Obama Protestathons. Allahpundit muses thus: “In my recollection, the people in the town halls are dressed in T-shirts, jeans, shorts, halter tops, and the like. Maybe the people need to strip down to their Boxers in order to be considered sincere.”
Puts that Code Pink disrobing thing in a whole new light.

Be afraid. Be very afraid. Boxer has blown the lid of protestgate. It’s all a sham.
And BTW, J.E., it’s Senator Boxer, if you please. Not ma’am, not Her Boxificence (although, come to think of it, she’d probably be okay with the latter).

Do you think we can get Roger Simon to run against this b!t( ?

You’re so right, HP. What was I thinking, not leading with “Senator”?
I’m thinking she might like “Queen Boximilian.” Or better yet, “Barbara, Regina et Imperatrix.”
Apparently she’ll be going medieval on us and imposing sumptuary laws on those who peaceably assemble for a redress of grievances — the latter “right” one of those Magna Carta-type concessions wrung from King George (Washington) in the earliest days of our adorable little Republican Trianon-on-the-Potomac.
Let me see if I can shoehorn the Serments de Strasbourg in there somewhere.

So what’s wrong with hurting this president (legislatively) and changing the Congress?

Zoltan –it would behoove us to be choosy about who runs against Her Boxificence, but the list of those who could possibly be worse is pretty short.
Naturally, however, three quarters of the people on it are eligible to run for office in California.

Don’t forget to read my Amazon review of the little shrew from Brooklyn’s latest pot boiler.

Whoops! I wore linen pants and a knit top to a little counter-demonstration in Chicago the other day. (Warm day.) There was a guy there in a suit though. I thought he had just come from work but maybe he was responsible for the whole thing and I didn’t get the e-mail.
I see from Senator Boxer’s attire in the clip that suits are legitimately worn only by elected officials. I should have known; the folks in the pro-Obamacare crowd (actually only about 300, well below the size of the tea party) mostly had on union t-shirts.

Her Boxificence really demonstrates how when the cream rises and you skim it off the junk left behind can do real damage.
I mean isn’t she a poster child for reverting back to the appontment of Senators?
