I need a bumper sticker.

The GOP leadership's refusal to acknowledge that women are capable of chairing a House committee is telling. It's the Old White Boy's Club there.

We should be publicizing this widely and pointing out that discrepancy to women everywhere.

next to me in a huge Lexus SUV had a large bumper sticker on the back door saying "Women for Mitt!" Another WTF day in my life, I get a lot of those WTF's here in red/red/red territory of "The Stepford Wives," I guess anymore behind enemy lines.

Yes, "We should be publicizing this widely and pointing out that discrepancy to women everywhere."

The "Old White Boy's Club" has become sooo blatantly obvious anymore. I thought after the election the R's would try to mix it up some for some diversity, but apparently not.

them fade into the past in the 21st century. The republican party is obsolete and needs to be from the past.

. . . to empty out their divisive agenda's arsenal.They didn't learn a thing from the election (except that their bull didn't do the trick this time around). I expect, like you, that they'll just double-down and drive their party and political brand into obscurity.

From the article:

The aide noted, though, that GOP leaders just put four women in party leadership. Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-Wash) is the new House Republican Conference Chair, Rep. Lynn Jenkins (R-Kansas) is conference vice chair, Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-N.C.) is conference secretary, and Rep.-elect Ann Wagner (R-Mo.) will represent freshman members in party leadership.

Okay, these are nothing more then glorified secretarial positions...

And this is interesting:

The one female committee chair that House Republicans currently have, Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-Fla.), is stepping down because her term is up. While there are still two lower-tier House committees awaiting a chair assignment -- the Ethics Committee and House Administration -- neither committee has any women or minority members.

And yet, Lying Ryan whose term is also up is getting to keep his chair assignment, because the leadership agreed to waive the term limit.

That's the way to go Misogynist Party, keep working on diversity!!!

So the pubbie's feet should be held to the fire for using the excuse of term limits to remove some chairs but not others.

Being old and white myself, it still baffles me that they can be so totally tonedeaf and clueless. I only hope America can survive passed their last, desperate attempts to cling to control, ends up in fail, as they most assuredly will.

diversity, 99% vote the same as the rich white men, so what difference does it make?
