Who Says They Don't Listen to Us?

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.

Congress Rears Its Ugly Head

The 113th US House of Representatives is not really notable in the fact that there was no woman appointed to chair a committee.  There is, of course, a scarcity of women on the Republican side of the House anyway.

This after all the hot air about the importance of women during the election season.

So is it hate?  Or do the men who continue to run the Republican Party just simply believe women have their place, supporting their men.  As do "their" women in the House of Representatives.

I don't think the men on that side of the aisle consider women enough to hate them.  For them, women have their place, as do the blacks and gays in the Republican Party.  They may indeed hate those on the Democratic side, but I don't think they really give too much of a fig about those who want to be a part of the party.

Which to my mind is even worse than being hated.  Because it is being irrelevant.
