Secretary Rice is an only child. She's single. Both of her parents are dead. She doesn't have any children. Rice doesn't have control over the fact that she is an only child or that both parents are dead. So, Babs, couldnt' have been criticizing her for that. The only "immediate' family that Babs could have been referring to is the lack of children or the lack of a spouse.

She may have felt passionately about her point, but she didn't need to put a personal twist on it to include Rice. She could have left it with describing her own situation. But, then again, it's become commonplace to be rude and insensitive in the halls of Congress these days. What Barbara Boxer did was deliberate.

She questioned Rice's lack of <em>immediate family </em>involvement in the war- since when is that limited to children? Can you point out where Boxer mentioned anything about children?
