For Pete’s Sake
Pete Olson is my own personal congressvarmint. I don’t talk about him much because he’s furniture. No, seriously, he does nothing in Congress and can only rarely be identified from his desk.
But, he’s gotten a little feisty lately. He took his little anti-choice self and went on the electric radio to announce that he shouldn’t have to pay for pre-natal care health insurance because he can’t get pregnant. In fact ….
Olson laughed about it and said, “We have what’s called an X chromosome . . . which means we can’t have a baby. Why do we have to pay for that coverage we can’t use?”
Well, wait a minute. Didn’t you use it as a fetus?
And secondly, an X chromosome doesn’t make you a man, and apparently a suit and a seat in congress doesn’t either. Honey, it’s the Y chromosome, but I’m perfectly okay with whatever he wants it to be. Maybe he marches in the Chromosome Pride Parade and there’s nothing wrong with that.
Tillerson also complained that the White House was leaking damaging information about him to the news media, according to a person familiar with the meeting. Above all, he made clear that he did not want DeStefano’s office to “have any role in staffing” and “expressed frustration that anybody would know better” than he about who should work in his department — particularly after the president had promised him autonomy to make his own decisions and hires, according to a senior White House aide familiar with the conversation.
