Governor chooses Harrisonville woman to lead council

A Harrisonville Republican who helped lead last year’s campaign for a constitutional ban on gay marriage has been appointed chairwoman of the Missouri Women’s Council.

Vicky Hartzler, 44, a former state legislator, has served on the council since July. Her selection by Republican Gov. Matt Blunt was announced Tuesday. If she is confirmed by the Senate, her term will run through Dec. 6, 2007.

Last year, she served as spokeswoman for the Coalition to Protect Marriage in Missouri, a group that supported a constitutional ban on gay marriage. It passed.

A Blunt spokeswoman said Hartzler’s support of the ban had no effect on her appointment.

Just wonderful. "Skippy" Blunt has picked a world-class homophobic bitch to head the Missouri Women's Council. Why does that not surprise me?

The homophobic, the racist, the paranoid.
