So Blubberpuss John Boehner has decided to play the Ann Romney "this is hard" card on how tough it is to head the US House of Representatives. He thinks he can still lead there, he said on a Sunday gabfest today. But, he added, "I'm not going to suggest it's easy."
In short, WAAAHHH! Well, we cats say, "Boo-hoo to you, you Republican jackass." Of course it's not easy. As Tom Hanks said in "A League of Their Own," if it were easy, everyone would do it. And Boehner has clearly never been up to the job.
So while we're on the subject of women stepping up to the plate, let's talk about one woman in particular, Nancy Pelosi. When she was Speaker, you never saw this kind of crap going on. The House functioned, not only doing its most basic job (like, um, funding the government) but going above and beyond to accomplish great stuff (Obamacare, the stimulus, Lilly Ledbetter, DADT repeal, financial reform). And Nancy Pelosi did it in spite of having 50 to 60 Blue Dog Democrats who could strain at the leash at every turn.
Well, you know the old saying: You want something done right, ask a woman to do it. Nancy Pelosi gets a lot of guff, but she's never failed to keep us in awe. The hapless Republicans could learn a thing or two from her — but of course, being idiots, they never will. We cats HISS.
