Good morning . . .
There was a problem with blogspot yesterday afternoon and I was unable to post the Afternoon Update.
Senator Barbara Boxer is trying to make a name for herself. She is becoming the self-proclaimed "attack dog" of the Senate Democrats.
her failed attempt to disrupt the Electoral Vote count has been followed by her attacks on Condoleeza Rice. Rice is the nominee to replace Colin Powell as Secretary of State. In hearings yesterday and continuing this morning, Boxer is constantly saying that Rice is inconsistent and unwilling to take responsibility for mistakes made by the Bush Administration.
Rice has asked the Senator Boxer not to "impune my integrity." Nevertheless, Boxer continues with quotes out of context and her liberal rant. Boxer must be taking lessons from Ted Kennedy (D-MA).
Inspite of the bickering and chiding on the part of Democrats, Rice is expected to be confirmed with most Democrats voting for confirmation.

Liberal financier George Soros failed in his bid to defeat President Bush in the November election.
Now a conservative group has filed a 41-page complaint against Soros with the Federal Election Commission. The National Legal and Policy Center says that Soros failed to disclose a series of expeditures stemming from his October 2004 speaking tour to several swing states to defeat the President.

CBS President Leslie Moonves made his first public statement about the future of CBS News since the release of the report on Rathergate.
Speaking to reporters yesterday Moonves said that there could be substantial changes and a restructure of the Evening News. Some of the changes may nbe a switch to a multi-anchor, multi-city newscast, as well as, using Comedy Central's John Stewart as part of the mix. Moonves admitted that nothing has been decided.
When asked about if Dan Rather's leaving the anchor chair had anything to do with the 60 Minutes story or the report on Rathergate, Moonves said, " have to believe that it probably did. He had to believe that the report would come out and it would not be good."
Moonves continued his support for CBS News President Andrew Heyward.
Moonves also has a bit of a conflict of interest in any decision regarding CBS News. His wife is Early Show anchor and reporter Joie Chen.
