House GOP looks for chairwomen (har)

House GOP looks for chairwomen

If they were so worried about having a woman chair, why did they move a woman from an important committee she asked to chair to head their 'housekeeping' instead?

Of course, with great female minds they've had to choose from like Ernst & (now-gone) Bachman, I can see their quandry...

But how many women are going to be fooled by their blatant tokenism?
