First Female Speaker of the House

[Back]

Historic day for America.

100 hours is up Backlash, how many promises did the Democrats push through?

She's also the first Italian-American elected as Speaker. Throw her a fucking parade.

Unfortunately they did... Tony Bennet gave her a seranade... overall it was a series of parties fit for a presidential inaugaration.

Why does it matter that its a she?

[Shari]

I dunno. I was waiting for someone to insert a bad joke about how she'll be fabulous since women don't know HOW to stop speaking.

But, I guess I did it for all ya'll. w00t.

Yeah, Backlash needs to get over the fact she has breasts...

There's nothing wrong with celebrating her ascension to Speaker. If she'd been male there would have been celebrations as well.

And, although misogynists might disagree, there is nothing wrong with being pleased when a woman obtains a position that has been historically male dominated.

However...there IS something very wrong with treating the whole thing like a fucking coronation.

100% agree. Also, it's a bit wasteful in many ways.
