Well, well, well. Now that Republicans are starting to worry their pretty little heads about just how badly they're going to get a high-heeled election day ass-kicking from the women of America, everyone's a feminist.
At least when it comes to whether women should be allowed to join the exclusive, no-girls-allowed Augusta National Golf Club.
Mitt Romney, who has sworn he will get rid of Planned Parenthood because women's health care makes him sad, said, "If I were a member and if I could run Augusta, which isn't likely to happen, but of course I'd have women in Augusta."
Newt Gingrich, who believes the real issue of women's inequality is actually male inequality, also took a bold stand for women's rights. Or at least for his wife's rights.
And then this morning, Sen. John McCain—who never met a piece of anti-woman legislation he didn't support, who picked the winking Wasilla idiot as his running mate because he figured a chick would shake things up, and who said Republicans should maybe think about laying off of women's health care after he voted for the Blunt amendment to restrict women's health care—let his feminist flag fly:
Don't you think it's time Augusta National joined the 21st century - or the 20th - and allowed women members?

But you know who's remained awfully quiet about the Mostest Importantest Issue Ladies Have Ever Faced EverTM? House Speaker John Boehner, member of a boys-only golf club. He has "demurred" on this particular issue that even his fellow Republicans are rallying around because standing up for their rich wives' right to play golf at a fancy private club is so much easier than standing up for their right to basic health care.
But not Boehner. He likes his golf like he likes his Congressional hearings on contraception: for boys only. Let those bra-burning feminazis Romney, Gingrich and McCain start trying to score cheap political girlie points; he'll be busy "demurring" on his beloved single-sex golf course.
