Hush Now, It’s Not THAT Bad
The women at the beauty salon this morning are all in a tither upon discovering that the Republicans in the House have insured that every single House committee is headed by a white male.
They say that show a lack of diversity.
That is simply not true.
It most certainly is diverse. There is a tall white male, a short white male, a bald white male, a dumb white male, a chubby white male, a practically deaf white male, Paul Ryan, a really old white male … I mean, what do you people want?
But no smart white men, only reality deficient republicans whose feelings are easily hurt.
1And they are all from different districts. It is even rumored that not all their constituents are millionaires.
2Repeat after me, TONE deaf!
3However,their leader is orange.
4Which one has the uterus and which one has the brain?
5Which one is dumb enough to distinguish himself from all the other dumb ones?
Diversity, this isn’t.
6I say thank you GOP for giving us a head start on changing the House numbers in 2014. IF GOP had a brain (I know, I know) they would have given a woman some Committee like holding hearings on Christmas Cookie Recipes but they are so completely stupid they figure they have another 18 months of business as usual before they trot out their lip service to being responsive to the needs of the 98%.
7@Judith: I believe their actions are referred to as “The Race to the Bottom”. Interpret that phrase any way you want.
8They are all dumb white males. Take a look:

9I’m thinking of writing a book about the House leadership, how does “50 shades of Pink” sound??
Since this House session is coming to an end in a few weeks and the new guys come in late January isn’t this kind of a waste of time from people who didn’t get much done this session?
10@Carol – or how about “50 Shades of Slightly Off-White,” with a lot of the emphasis on slightly off…
11Carol try this one:

12At least there is a multiplicity of Caucasian skin tones in that collection of photos.
131. Sneezy
142. Sleepy
3. Dopey
4. Doc
5. Happy
6. Bashful
7. Grumpy
Of the six brand new ones, I think I read that two or three are Texans. I’m a Texan, so I say this with love, bless our hearts, but is this an attempt to pander to the stoopidest constituency ever?
15I would have preferred more diversity in their IQ.
As in, any.
16Sneezy, Sleepy, Dopey, Doc, Happy, Bashful and Grumpy.
Or some variation thereof.
17I disagree that there is no “diversity” here. There are at least three different types of Rethugs shown: closeted gay,closeted gay-er,and closeted flaming gay.
18“Diversity.” They keep using that word. I do not think it means what they think it means…..
19… a criminal white male…
20Here’s where they will come back with diversity is not just gender or skin color but age, ethnicity, creed, etc. etc.
Oh, wait! There’s not much of that either!
21Is Paul Ryan the practically deaf one or is he singled out for having more than one of the preceding list of adjectives?
22I know a song about “A Whiter Shade of Pale?”
23@Aggieland liz – Whoo-whee!!! That Nance Greggs is somethin’ else! Best rant I’ve seen … ever! Think I’ll print up some copies and drop them anonymously on some of my less-enlightened colleagues, then video their reactions as they read it …
24Awww, Liz, you shouldn’t a gone and said that. I have work to do, so I only have time for one verse…okay two!
They skipped the PC tango
While holding the House floor
They dropped the female chairmen
But Grover called for more
The baggers shouted louder
As civility flew away
When Boehner called for another drink
The Koch boys brought a tray
And so it was that later
As the Speaker told his tale
That the House, at first just ghostly
Turned a Whiter Shade of Male
He said, there is no reason
The truth is plain to see
Although we lost the voting
We gerrymandered free
Inventing vestal virgins
Who pay their own health cost
And though you won the election
You might as well have lost
And so it was that later
25As the Speaker told his tale
That the House, at first just ghostly
Turned a Whiter Shade of Male
Way to go Chip; once again, the GOP has maled it in.
26Oooh goody. My U.S. Rep. is there, grinning like a goober. (Jeb Hensarling, middle row, far left) He represents ALL the millionaires and billionaires living the high life in Mesquite and Balch Springs, Tx.
You know where those folks! Their houses are located right between the Check Cashing place and the Dollar Store, just north of the exquisitely guarded Town East Mall.
27Did Romney take the BINDERS FULL OF WOMEN with him?
28daChipster, I think I luv yew!
29You never disappoint me Chip! I was kind of bummed when I checked my phone and there were no further comments, so I went back to work, did my grocery shopping and headed home to fix dinner. By this time it was 730 and I had not checked anything but the weather (low temps), and then my loving spouse muttered “I see you’ve been acting as daChipster’s muse again” and so happy day! What a splendid effort, you’re wonderful! I hope I didn’t interfere with your day too much!
30@June: Word.
31@UmptyDump what a marvelous plan, please post the videos to YouTube when ur done! Should be fun! JJ sez we should be done gloating, but as they have NOT got the message yet, I say we keep on keepin on!
I’m still fuming about McFuddle telling the Prez he needs to negotiate. That $&@) can’t negotiate his way to the bathroom at night, so he hasta wear depends! I hope Mr Obama rubs his nasty face in it; Harry Reid can ask Sen Warren and Sen Baldwin to assist!!
32That’s not fair! They all look alike. Couldn’t someone label the chart?
33@DaChipster … I am going to post your poem on Facebook … I love it and the FB nation needs to see it, read it and love it like we do here at the Beauty Shop!
34daChipster, once again you are the bubbles in my soft drink. I do love a man who can filk and that’s a precious one!
35Looks like a new take on an old Robbie Conal poster

36Good heavens! Someone here actually knows the term “filk”! *high fives SusanF*
37I can filk all night and then make you breakfast.
