Re: GOP House Committee Chairs - so Far All Men
These are the guys that bent over backwards to pack a hearing on women's reproductive rights with only men. Then when a woman had the gall to testify, they went after her en masse as a "slut."
Now we have the unfortunate spectacle of the whole GOP trying to crucify Rice because if Kerry becomes sec. of state, there's a Senate seat up for grabs, and Scott Brown might be able to get back in.... but with the consequence that there's just one more random uncalled-for attack on a black woman underway from the Party of White Males.
Now then... if they really think that the person sent to sell the official story is the one they should go after, fine and dandy. But to do so, they've started down that road to say she's "not that bright" or "not qualified," when very clearly she is, based on her credentials and the consistency of how she handled her duties with how State employees are expected to handle their duties.
If you can get 5 rankings filled by women, why couldn't the other party find 5 women "qualified" to serve as chairs? Because -- as they are presently telegraphing once again to the nation at large -- "qualified" means whatever they want it to mean, as long as it results in certain kinds of people (ahem) in certain spots.
And this from the party that has a guy heading the science and tech committee who thinks the world is 6,000 years old.
Feh.
Feh feh feh.
