When it comes to today's Planned Parenthood
Browbeater Jason Chaffetz embarrassed himself with the Rick Lazio Performance of 2015, interrupting Planned Parenthood of America President Cecile Richards so often that he made Chris Matthews look catatonic.
But that was just the beginning. GOP members in the past have humiliated themselves with a lack of knowledge of female anatomy. This morning, they're demonstrating their ignorance in interesting new ways. The at-large Congresswoman from Wyoming pressed Richards on how many "mammogram machines" her clinics had. Not only does this Republican need a new hairdresser, she must have a lesson in why PPFA, in the interest of smarter, cost-effective care, provides referrals for screenings rather than offering the imaging services themselves. But should we be surprised that the House Republican caucus, which has voted to repeal the ACA upward of 50 times, doesn't understand how healthcare works?
At the same time, however, we cats are displeased that Richards could not give direct answers when Mad Dog Chaffetz went after her salary. "I don't have the figures with me," she said. Why not???? After everything you've been through, Cecile, you weren't ready for that? Inexcusable. We cats HISS.
