Vagina monologues

The frantic silencing of the women Michigan state representatives who dared to mention women's naughty bits didn't prevent one of them from saying: "If they are going to legislate my anatomy, I see no reason why I cannot mention it.” So I will mention this again because they want to make our sex lives their business, they must make their sex lives our business.: my idea for an amendment: Any politician who supports negating a woman's right for reproductive control must sign a legal document that states he (or she) has never and will never use (nor his/her significant other) an abortifacient (a hormonal birth control pill), has never masturbated, never had an abortion nor encouraged anyone to have one, had sex with anyone before marriage, had sex only with spouse and had sex only for procreation. And the politician must agree that after extensive research if they have lied they must resign.

More of her kind, please.

Michigan State Senator Gretchen Whitmer yesterday ripped Senate GOP a new one over passage of a "bullying" bill that was gutted so heavily that it actually creates, as Whitmer notes in her speech, "a blueprint for bullying."

Even as the reasons are exposed as false

The White House moves to replace one of the eight fired prosecutors:

The Justice Department has announced two interim replacements for Margaret Chiara, the former U.S. attorney for the district of Western Michigan who resigned as part of a Justice Department purge.

Brian Delaney will serve as interim U.S. attorney until mid-April, when Charles Gross will succeed him, the department said Monday. Gross will remain until a permanent replacement is nominated by President Bush and confirmed by the Senate.

Chiara's last day was Friday.

Update: The New York Times:

In one case, Margaret M. Chiara, a United States attorney in Michigan, pleaded for a few extra weeks on the federal payroll while she looked for a job.

In one note, Ms. Chiara urged Mr. McNulty to quickly revise the explanation the department was offering for the dismissals.

“The legal community in Grand Rapids and organizations throughout Michigan are outraged that I am being labeled a ‘poor performer,’ ” she wrote in a March 4 message to Mr. McNulty. “Know that I am considered a personification of ethics and productivity.”

She also wrote that she had heard she was being removed to make way for a member of Congress who was expected to lose his seat in the November election.
