YOU ARE VISITING THE OLD MALKIN(S)WATCH. THAT'S FANTASTIC. PLEASE VISIT THE NEW MALKIN(S)WATCH WHEN YOU GET A CHANCE.

Democratic Sen. Robert "Sheets" Byrd, past recruitment officer for the KKK and former advocate of racial segregation, has announced that he will obstruct the confirmation of the first African-American woman to be nominated to be Secretary of State.

But just in case we want to get upset about this racebaiting crap, she provides herself an oh-so-clever out:

And if you don't think that's exactly how CBS and the rest of the MSM would have played the story if Byrd were a Republican and Rice a Democratic nominee...

Yeah, yeah. Just as writing the post in the first place was an excuse for Malkin to engage in a another little poke in Byrd's eye, I'm writing this post mostly to mention that Mad Kane, a woman with fantastic taste in blogrolls (I, on the other hand, have been negligent until now in returning the favor), has started a site which I think we can all get behind:

President Boxer.

Barbara Boxer's actions throughout the Ohio vote and Condi Rice hearings are more than enough to earn my support. Moreover, Boxer puts her fellow democrats to shame.

Oh yeah.
