Boxer on Fresh Air with Terry Gross
The Senator was on NPR's Fresh Air this morning. Audio will be available online in about 2 hours, and I'll post it when it is available.
It was an interesting interview, concluding with an interesting discussion about women in the Senate, with Boxer commenting on the possibility that, in retrospect, the Condi Rice hearings were a sort of watershed moment for women, in that you had Diane Feinstein introducing a woman nominee for Secretary of State, who was then questioned very adamantly by a strong woman Senator, and very few people commented on the fact that women were involved.
It is worth a listen when the audio is available.
UPDATE: Here is the audio link.
