Good stuff

Laura Washington’s column today is very good.
‘Every morning, I am not awakened by a phone call from my father telling me what to do today.” — Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan
“I just don’t trust the boys. Like anything else, they will promise you anything. … It’s the same damn thing in politics.” — Illinois Treasurer Judy Baar Topinka
“I put love and loyalty over my career.” — Ambassador Carol Moseley Braun
These are just a few savory tidbits from an elegant afternoon tea held last Wednesday at the Drake Hotel. The scones and watercress were delicate, but the ladies minced no words.
The tea, sponsored by the Chicago Network, featured eight veteran women pols reflecting on how women make a difference in politics.
Read the whole thing.

Was convicted felon Rep. Patricia Bailey there? Or former City Treasurer Santos? Or any number of the women implicated in the hired truck scandal there?
Did they talk about the fact that a woman can be just as deceptive, manipulative and corrupt as a man?

Rich says the column was “real good.”
She called a bunch of conservatives “Neanderthal.”
That’s clever and original.
Third grade level name calling.

Yeah, ego-preening couch devoured whinner has always been the apellation that turned my head. Jeepers, Laura my remote’s stuck under my Bears blanket and I can’t kind my ‘Let the Eagle Soar’ CD! Sean Hannity will hear of this!

It’s a great column if you are a far left-winger.
