Wonkette's response to Senate Republicans blocking a vote dripping with sarcasm is richly deserved by Republicans for their courage to block votes on bills that enjoy wide popularity.
Senate Republicans Stand Up For Ladies’ Right To Be Paid Unfairly
Ladies of America, are you feeling that warm reassurance you get from having manly champions who will fight for you in the halls of power? Pack your sunglasses because no matter what the weather, a sickly orange glow of self-congratulation will be coming your way from the Senate Republicans following their fourth consecutive filibuster of the Paycheck Fairness Act on Monday.
If this latest caucus-block seems like a setback for you Vaginal-Americans, that’s only because you don’t see that the Democrats are tricking you, using this modest package of reforms designed to ease pay disparity to cover up the fact that Democrats are the real sexists. Have a seat. Mitch will explain. He took the liberty of ordering for you.
"At a time when the Obama economy is already hurting women so much, this legislation would double down on job loss, all while lining the pockets of trial lawyers. In other words, it’s just another Democratic idea that threatens to hurt the very people that it claims to help."
Fair Pay would would burden Women with more money that they would foolishly fritter away spending it on frivolous things like their children.
Women currently earn on average 77¢ to Men's $1.00.
The current bill, which Republicans squashed like a big icky bug so you wouldn’t have to touch it with your lady hands, is the latest in a series of Democratic initiatives that you women, like regular Americans, would certainly hate if you only understood the issues, like increasing the minimum wage or refinancing student loan debt.
If Democrats really cared about you, the likely female voter demographic, they wouldn’t have even held this vote. Republicans would never insult your intelligence by holding “show votes” strictly for effect, knowing the legislation had no chance of becoming law. No gentleman keeps a lady waiting!
Women also make up 60% of Minimum Wage workers, and Republicans are committed protecting them from the burden of higher pay. Women should be thankful to have Republican Senators looking out for their interests against those misogynist Democrats who would harm women with higher incomes.
