If I Were A Republican Woman I’d Be Insulted

Reading this article brought two things to mind – The Stepford Wives and Enjoli… [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4X4MwbVf5OA[/youtube] Ah yes, you’ve come a long way, baby. Right-wing women rock. Not for us the sturdy, honest calves of the New Democrat/Green Party female, honed on eco-tourist rainforest hikes.

Credo Mobile has a weekly quiz called OMG GOP WTF?! It donates $0.10 per correct answer to a progressive organization (this week The Nation). I’m sure you’ll not be surprised that I earned a 5/5.

The feeling in some circles is that this health care train has left the station with President at the wheel, and Republicans better jump on board.
