Quote of the Day: Transcript of remarks between Boxer and Rice

Quote of the Day

"Now, the war was sold to the American people, as Chief of Staff to President Bush Andy Card said, like a 'new product.' Those were his words. Remember, he said, 'You don't roll out a new product in the summer.' Now, you rolled out the idea and then you had to convince the people, as you made your case with the president.

"And I personally believe -- this is my personal view -- that your loyalty to the mission you were given, to sell this war, overwhelmed your respect for the truth. And I don't say it lightly, and I'm going to go into the documents that show your statements and the facts at the time."
--Senator Barbara Boxer, at Senate confirmation hearings for Condoleezza Rice, nominee for Secretary of State here in Bizzaroworld
