QuoteQuoteThere are so many smart women ... why do the Republicans keep pushing retards like Palin and Bachmann?
Take the example of Republican Christine Todd Whitman. Sharp as a whip, long career in government, successful 2-term Governor of New Jersey. Then she became Bush's Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, where she was repeatedly marginalized for trying to do her job conscientiously (which meant actually trying to protect the environment, (uh- see name of agency...) instead of toeing the right-wing anti-environmentalist line); and eventually she resigned in disgust.
In 2005, she released a book entitled, It's My Party, Too: Taking Back the Republican Party... And Bringing the Country Together Again - the title of which pretty much speaks for itself. She also has founded a political action committee called It's My Party Too - again which is fairly self-explanatory.
So instead of a smart, capable and conscientious Republican woman like Whitman being embraced and nurtured by at the national level, she's shunted aside, and is left with playing the "outsider looking in" to her own party. Instead, the poster-child female champions put up on the Republican party are people like Bachmann and Palin and (for God's sake) Christine O'Donnell.
And my friend Lawrocket calls us to task for calling Republicans "stupid". Well, this is why, Jerry.
I showed up at the airport in New Jersey where my airplane was based, and the the owner was sitting at his desk with a shocked look on his face. He said "did you see the car that just left? That was the Governor!"
It turns out that, after he spent years butting heads with bureaucrats in Trenton in the attempt to upgrade the airport, the Governor took matters into her own hands. She showed up in a Gov't pool sedan, without entourage or press presence, asked what was needed, and took notes for two hours.
The airport now has working runway lights, a rotating beacon and a freshly paved runway.
Christie Whitman is one of the good guys, and I would vote for her in a heartbeat.
