On the recordMay 10, 1996
Yesterday at a Government Reform and Oversight Committee Hearing, two Democrat lawmakers emerged from their stone-age caves. In a manner that only the Peking man could truly appreciate, they called into question the motives of two hard-working female staffers because they were married to prominent public officials. In a town like Washington, many folks--both male and female--are married to prominent public officials. But according to this club-waving, cave-man mentality, if you are a woman you are incapable of rubbing two sticks together--much less having an independent thought. Mr. Speaker, I call upon these supposed gentlemen to publicly apologize to all women for their ice-age mentality.
