Boxer Calls Ex-KKK'er 'Love of My Life'
Sen. Barbara Boxer got a bit carried away during MoveOn.org's "Rally for Fair Judges" in Washington, D.C., yesterday, at one point referring to the event's keynote speaker – former Ku Klux Klansman Robert Byrd – as "the love of my life."
The California Democrat was explaining that, like Byrd, she once opposed filibustering judicial nominations – back when her party controlled the Senate.

But in quotes picked up by the NationalReviewOnline, Boxer explained:
"I thought I knew everything. I didn't get it. I'm here to say I was totally wrong."
She then called the 87-year-old former nightrider "the love of my life."
Boxer also announced that she doesn't recognize Republican Sen. Arlen Specter as the legitimate chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, and instead takes her marching orders from ranking Democrat Pat "Leaky" Leahy.
"I call him my chairman of the Judiciary Committee, because I don't recognize anyone else," she explained.
