I saw where the GOP has named Candice Miller to chair the House Administrative Committee. This is a more then a bit funny. There have been complaints for years, in fact there are some who feel it's one of the reasons they lost the election, their women representatives have always been relegated to token status. After Romney's loss, Fox News actually had three women on to skirt around the issue. One of them made the point that they're only brought out when they're needed for a photo op. That was not a very nice thing for a loyal Republican to say. However, it is as true now as it was when McCain chose Palin for his running mate. Of course now they say Palin just wasn't vetted correctly. I think that's horse shit. I'd say you can bet your bottom dollar the GOP high command gave McCain their approval. I'm sure they thought she'd be like all Republican women, you know? Keep their mouths shut and do as they're told. Unfortunately for them Palin chose not to follow the script.

Now they've taken the former Secretary of State for Michigan and made her, for all intents and purposes, Office Manager for the House of Representatives. What's almost hilarious about this insult is there are a lot Republicans out there who will point to Ms. Miller and say "See, there is a place for women in our party." You can bet those white guys in their navy blue suits who run the party are no doubt smirking to themselves, muttering, "there, that should keep them satisfied."
