In response to attacks due to the fact that not one of the 113th House of Representatives committees chair appointments went to a woman, John Boehner made the bold move of changing his mind.
According to the Huffington Post, Boehner found his binderful of women, and after great thought and research, appointed Candace Miller to chair the House Administration Committee. It looks like Representative Miller will hold the important task of chairing the committee responsible for such tasks as "statuary and pictures," "disposition of useless executive papers," and House food services and parking. She had been looking at chairing the House Homeland Security Committee, but apparently Boehner didn't want to give the little lady more than she could handle.
I would like to let Jon Stewart take it from here:
So it goes -- another small step for Republican women.
