My wife was a wise woman who used to share with me this notion: She would much rather work with men than with women.<\/p>\n

Why? Women too often get into backbiting and back-stabbing. Kathy Anne would have none of it.<\/p>\n

Well, my bride’s wisdom went on full display the other day in a U.S. House committee hearing that erupted into a verbal free-for-all among three female House members. It was, to say the least, shameful in the extreme.<\/p>\n

It started when GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene made a tasteless crack about the “fake eyelashes” she said interfered with Democratic Rep. Jasmine Crockett’s ability to read the legislation before her. Crockett took extreme exception to Greene’s gratuitous boorishness.<\/p>\n

They began arguing loudly. It degenerated rapidly into an epithet-filled fit of rage between Crockett and the QAnon queen.<\/p>\n

Then, in stepped Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to offer her cheap assessment of the goings-on. It became a three-way shouting melee.<\/p>\n

Committee Chairman Republican James Comer sought to gavel some order to the proceeding … to no avail.<\/p>\n

Crockett responded to Greene by referring to her as “baby girl.” It was either AOC or Crockett — I couldn’t decipher it all among the din — who referred to Greene’s “blond hair and butch body.” I was struck at that moment by the look of confusion that came across Democratic Rep. Jamie Raskin’s mug when he heard that put down.<\/p>\n

Jumpin’ Jehosaphat, man!<\/em><\/p>\n

These women well might have set back the cause of feminism in politics a fair step or three with this senseless and idiotic tirade.<\/p>\n

If only MTG had a sense of decorum befitting the office she occupies.<\/p>\n

Now I understand fully what Kathy Anne meant.<\/p>\n\n
