U.S. Senators Celebrate Women's Day By Confronting Women-Hating House Speaker, John Boehner

Comments

Murkowski, after 'regretting' her vote for Blunt, didn't sign onto this? Snowe? Collins?

What *has* McConnell got on these folks that he's so able to keep them in line.

Gotta love our Patty.

This, my friends, is how it's done. I hope they keep beating this drum until even Sarah Palin has to admit the rhythm method doesn't work.

... And I'm sure this lovely letter went immediately into the round file right next to Boehner's desk ...

I think they meant "hard to OVERstate".

Damn, good catch, shambha. I hope to hell they didn't send it like that.

I don't mean to be pessimistic, but since when has an old white shitpail patriarch like Boehner ever cared what a bunch of mere women think?

Boehner's all class. I'm sure he will give Patty and Maria a nice pat on the head if he runs into them on the Hill. Or maybe a nice slap on the ass.

And NO - ZERO - ZED - NO REPUBLICANS SIGNED???? And where are the men who should be standing up for women????

I'm not sure if anyone else was asked to sign. This came from the female democratic senators. I would like to know if they invited the republican female senators to sign it. Maybe they didn't ask men to sign it as a way to show female solidarity. I wonder why they didn't invite the female house democrats and/or republicans to sign it.

In any case, great letter. I just hope women in this country are paying attention. This November should have a high turnout of female voters.
