She’s not bad lookin’ for turning 56.

55! Man, she's alright for 35.

They never included male congressman's ages in articles. That'll piss off the feminists too.

Everything pisses off feminists.

Great, you just ticked off a number of them!

 

(Oops, I've done it as well...)

So it wasn’t a women’s lib movement after all. Just a ‘transfer of power’.

[SmithL]

She sure doesn't look like my Congresscritter!

[ASA Vet]

As Rush used to say, He's in favor of the women's movement.

He ejoys watching them as they walk away.

“Whenever we blend with the male appellation, we are diminishing the significance of the accomplishment,” said Kellerman.

In an age where we are past the “first woman” this and that, the accomplishment is the same as it is for her male counterparts. I, as a woman, would choose congressman also. Congresswoman is, IMO, akin to “The Lady Judge” or “The Lady Minister”.

She is quite correct. The Anglo-Saxon man is the word for a generic human being, like the Greek anthropos. The analog of aner, male human being, was wapman, corresponding to the analogy of gyne, woman. We males lost our distinctive word.

In all cases where man occurs as a syllable at the end of a compound, e.g. congressman, fireman, chairman, it is the original Anglo-Saxon particle, and is genderless.

On behalf of my fellow wapmen, I want our word back!

As long as she called me for dinner, she could call herself [and me] anything she wanted.

[PzLdr]

If they walk correctly, they never fail to remind me to wind the Grandfather clock.

CONGRESSMAN Blackburn is in a lot of hot water in her district. She has put daughter, brother in law, and husband on the payroll. She has managed to not report over a million dollars in contributions.

Mrs. Blackburn has never had any competition until now.

[Grammy]

Marsha is my congressman. She helped us fight the state income tax as a state representative, and before she left for Washington there was a bumper sticker that said “Marsha’s the man!”

[Coldwater Creek]

You need to check out Marsha’s money problems!

Everything pisses off feminists.

Sometimes life is really good.

[Ingtar]

Where did you get the over a million figure? The last I saw it was just over $440,000 going back to 2002 and that her own audit discovered and reported the error.

By the way, the “on the payroll” as defined by the Democrat Party was repayment of loans and reimbursal for services actually rendered.

[Amadeo]

Marsha for President!

She is a real conservative, not a RINO like the incumbent and the nominee.

We Tennesseans are particularly proud of Marsha. We Brentwoodians claim her as our own.

[eyedigress]

She is a very good no-nonsense leader for Tennessee. Go Congressman Blackburn!

[eyedigress]

She reported this herself and it seems to be quite innocuous.
