Michigan Democratic gubenatorial candidate Mark Schauer last week chose former Michigan House representative Lisa Brown for his running mate. While many may recall from a couple of years ago that two Democratic female representatives were barred by republican legislators from speaking on the floor concerning anti-abortion bills for saying the word "vagina," not many may know that Lisa Brown was one of the two ("Finally, Mr. Speaker, I'm flattered that you're all so interested in my vagina, but 'no' means 'no.'").
Predictably (it's not called "politics" for the hell of it), republican pundits have begun chastising Schauer for his choice, but Nolan Finley of The Detroit News this week set the bar pretty fucking high for abject political lunacy here in the Wolvernine State by stating that Brown was "...still milking the vagina business, and is a minor celebrity among feminists."
What the fuck?
While it wouldn't be words I would choose, one could say that Kotex was in the vagina business. The same could be said for Monistat. But an accomplished female running for Lieutenant Governor in the great state of Michigan in the 21st century?
Methinks Finley's greatest fear is that Lisa Brown will be a stark reminder to many of the voting women in Michigan of our current governor, republican Rick Snyder, standing helplessly by as Michigan republicans rammed anti-abortion bills through the legislature in our left of center state that basically will necessitate our mothers, wives, and daughters getting rape insurance.
Peace,
