MILLER: Harry Reid’s hypocrisy on ‘Equal Pay Day’: All Senate Democrat leaders top aides are men
The Washington Times ^ | July 5, 2014 | By Emily Miller

Reid, Durbin, Schumer, Murray all have male chiefs of staff and communications directors.

Democrats are trying to get the female vote in November with a public relations campaign about “equal pay for equal work,” yet they are not practicing what they preach. The White House and Senate Democratic leaders employ fewer women as top aides, so they earn less.

But Mr. Schumer, Mr. Reid and the others in the Senate Democratic leadership — Majority Whip Dick Durbin and Conference Secretary Patty Murray — are hypocritical in saying they want women to have equal seniority and pay. Not one of them has a female chief of staff or communications director, the person spearheading this week’s publicity stunts. Mr. Reid’s spokesman, Adam Jentleson, did not respond to a request for comment.

On the contrary, Senate GOP leaders demonstrate gender equality in the workplace.

The top two leaders have female chiefs of staff — Sharon Soderstrom for Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and Beth Jafari for Minority Whip John Cornyn. These women are also the highest-paid chiefs of staff in leadership, which is commensurate with their positions.

Furthermore, these women are paid an average salary of $124,000, which is about $18,000 a year more than Democrats pay men doing the same job.

LOL! Demo leaders are not only a bunch of hypocrites but they’re also a bunch of boobs.

This needs to be thrown in their faces again and again.

Thank God that Washington is in the East and the prevailing winds from the West blow that stench out into the Atlantic.
