State Rep. Michelle DuBois (D-Plymouth) disagrees. She has been calling for the removal of a statehouse sign that reads "General Hooker Entrance" (so inscribed because it stands opposite a statue of General Hooker), which she described as an affront to "women's dignity."

State Rep. Michelle DuBois had to be a public school teacher or a teacher of teachers.

Massachusetts has a history of politicians and general hookers.

Apparently Rep. DuBois has mistaken a Civil War hero for a lady of the evening.

Don’t bother confusing a Democrat with the facts. We don’t need no steenken’ facts.

When Hooker here is just pure happenstance.

--a new preacher in Whitewood, South Dakota some years ago objected to "Hooker" Street--

-had to be pointed out to him that it was the Civil War (War of Northern Aggression) general it was named after---

Most liberals think the AR in AR15 stands for ASSAULT RIFLE, so this comes as no surprise to me. They really are this stoooopid.

Pols: General Hooker Entrance will stay as is

Will people be offended by hearing the name of blues great John Lee Hooker?

Is State Rep. Michelle DuBois (D-Plymouth) bothered by the existence of “Gay Street” in West Chester, Pennsylvania?

>>“As the granddaughter of a Civil War veteran, I don’t believe in removing recognition of veterans from our building simply due to their surnames,” said Senate President Harriette L. Chandler.

btw Chandler is Senate President because
previous Sen. Pres. Stan Rosenberg had to resign that position due to harrassment involving HIS husband, Bryon Hefner.
