Because women in power intimidate republicans unless they're inbred eye candy (or at least what passes for eye candy on the right) that follow marching orders like good little sheep. See Bachman and Palin.

Thanks for starting my weekend on an upbeat note GRR!

Only a fool as yourself would be elebrating any majority party using unwritten rules to silence any peple who might disagree.

That says a lot about you, your partisanship and your tacit approval that women are to be seen, not heard and should know their place.

Tony Trupiano couldn't wait to get that woman on his show Friday morning. Now that the political discourse has sunk to this level, I'm surprised that the Speaker didn't respond 'Madam, I assure you. My penis has no interest whatsoever in your vagina.'

The 'no means no' comment was even weirder. I guess she figured 'while I'm at it, I might as well accuse the opposition of being rapists too'...

Tony was actually having bad morning I think. Repubs were calling into his show crowing about the result in the Wisconsin recall, among other things. That prompted him to declare that he was going to work night and day to 'reelect the greatest president this country has ever seen'

Destruction of our state? Are you kidding? You're obviously not keeping up with current events. Michigan is leading the way in economic recovery since Snyder took office, and he recently closed the deal to have a new, publicly owned bridge built to Canada without using any Michigan taxpayer money.

Granted, Detroit is still a mess but he's trying to help there too. Problem was too many years of corruption and massive loss of population.

See above

The current economic effects have little to do with Snydor, just as during Granhomn's terms they had little to do with her, and much more to do with President Obama...and he does get credit for the bridge along with President Obama...

It takes a long time to destroy a state, Syndor will be long gone before his policies screw up the state

MI is becoming known for waiving democracy when its suits them. Wait until your your city or school district gets an "emergency manager" appointed by a governor you don't like.

You think its good for an unwritten rule be used to to stop an elected member of the MI House from speaking on any matter then you have a perverted view of how our state government should be run.

That was massive overkill brought about by a bunch of term limited people knowing the can run roughshod over others knowing full well they won't be around long enough to suffer any political repercussions. Only get celebrated by others who love power and don't give a damn who they maintain it.

This just keeps getting better

are they scared of them as never nervous states, or are they interested in them as Lisa Brown states? It's easier trying to solve the liar's paradox than it is interpreting these kind of conflicting statements brought forth by Democrats

WTF would you know about MI fallenschtick?

You are that independent businessman living in MA under the heavy yolk or Romney's healthcare you bitched about.

Is your schtick showing?

Most of the economics of any state have more to do with the economics of the country than with the actions of the govener.

What Syndor has done will hollow out the public protection and education in the state but it will be 20 years or so until the teachers who committed to that profession as they were able to raise a family on a teacher's compinsation will be gone from the system and we will have lessor teachers in their place due to lower compinsation...same for retired people leaving the state and lowering the tax base.
