They found one! The Republicans FINALLY find a woman to name as Chair one of their committees. That's a woman right?

The current House committee chairman sausage fest.
This from NBC:  

After enduring negative headlines that all of the House Republican committee chairmanships will be filled by men in the next Congress, Republicans have found their woman. 

NBC News has learned that Rep. Candice Miller (R-Mich.) will be named chair of the House Administration Committee. Miller did not serve on the committee during the 112th Congress. 

Well so what if she has no experience with the committee? An appointment is an appointment, right?

Just so long it's not some really embarrassing chairmanship that nobody ever really wants, or that involves something kind of sexist like, oh I don't know, house keeping or something like that.


The House Administration Committee deals with the pertinent administrative business of the House. The committee can decide such mundane things as whether or not the House cafeterias will use paper or Styrofoam plates -- or more serious matters such as benefit packages for congressional workers and how the Library of Congress operates. The Committee also monitors the expense accounts of House members. 

Oh, so she's in charge of the kitchen, and managing the House money? Oh yeah, nothing sexist about THAT!

House Speaker John Boehner issued this statement: “From ensuring the House runs efficiently and smoothly, to making Congress more open and accessible, Candice has a big job ahead as chairman of the House Administration Committee. In her new post, Candice will provide the leadership needed to keep operating costs down, save taxpayer dollars, and help lawmakers use new technology to better engage with their constituents. And her experience as Michigan secretary of state will be invaluable given the committee’s oversight of campaign finance and election laws.

By the way sources say that after those official remarks Boehner then whispered under his breath, "And besides I am pretty sure she has a vagina, so you liberals can just back the fuck off!" (Okay I made that part up, but you KNOW he was thinking it.)

Okay let's take us a look at this Rep. Candace Miller shall we?

Oh! Well, she's you know...holy crap!

Well nice try Republicans, I mean you work with what you've got right?

Okay I'm going to close this post because she kind of scares me. (So much for sleeping with the lights off tonight.)
