NUTS – AT 8:01 P.M. ET:  In the immortal words of that great philosopher, Jerry Lewis:  "Bad looks you can change; stupid is forever."  From Fox News:

Sen. Barbara Boxer, no stranger to controversy, compared the United States to Iran, North Korea and Pakistan this week, saying America's Don't Ask Don't Tell policy puts it on a par with those three countries.

Appearing with Connecticut Sen. Joseph Lieberman at a news conference on Thursday, Boxer, D-Calif., suggested the military's policy banning gays from openly serving in the military puts the U.S. in the same camp as countries notorious for their human rights violations. Democrats are pushing to repeal Don't Ask Don't Tell during the lame duck session.

“We now stand -- with this rule -- with countries like Iran, North Korea and Pakistan in banning gays and lesbians from military service,” Boxer said as Lieberman, an independent who aligns himself with Democrats, nodded his head.

COMMENT:  I doubt if Joe was nodding his head in agreement.  He has too much sense. 

Barbara Boxer was just reelected to the Senate from the failed state of California.  Go figure.  Used to be called the golden state.  Shame on them.
