Boxer the Brightest Pro-Choice Leader?

Via the LA Times:

At Thursday's event, Nancy Keenan, president of NARAL Pro-Choice America, described Boxer as "the brightest star in the galaxy of pro-choice leaders in our country" — an introduction that made the three-term senator visibly emotional.

If Barbara "I am not answering these questions!" Boxer is the brightest star amongst pro-choice leaders then the night sky must be pitch black.
