Trust me, they aren't wearing heels
because they want to appeal to women
The Atlantic's Molly Ball
said somebody had to do it,
so she did.
In the wake of GOP Chairman Reince Priebus's claim that the Republican War on Women is as fictional as the Republican War on Caterpillars, Ball exposed the truth about the GOP's war on that fuzzy little insect—and it turns out it's not a fiction after all:
Under the guise of aiding the agriculture industry, Republicans and their allies in Washington have been waging a long-running campaign to prevent the Environmental Protection Agency from limiting bug-killing pesticides.
Ball's conclusion?
Republicans may claim that they have no anti-caterpillar agenda -- that they're just trying to protect people and plants from being bitten, that they're merely the victims of a liberal media that sympathizes with the radical bugs'-rights lobby. But the truth is clear, and it's nothing new: Republicans just don't care about caterpillars.
Need any more proof? Tom DeLay, the onetime leader of the GOP House majority, began his career as an exterminator.
And with that, The Hammer has dropped.
