When I hear "Louisiana Senator" I just about always think corrupt or stupid.

Well, Louisiana politics does have that long record of corruption and stupidity.

Sen. Bill Cassidy: 'Roads and bridges are a woman's problem' because they are 'doing the shopping'

"My wife says that roads and bridges are a woman's problem if you will," the senator added. "Because oftentimes it is the woman -- aside from commuting to work -- who's also taking children to schools or doing the shopping. And the more time that she spends on that road, the less time she spends doing things of higher value."

1. Where do they find these people.

Pure dribble.

[comradebillyboy]

2. Don't be too harsh. He supports the "bipartisan"

infrastructure bill. That puts him ahead of at least 39 republican senators.

3. Thank you. I was going to post that. To a certain extent Cassidy is right

About women running errands, taking the kids to school, events.

6. Which makes roads a woman's problem? He really isn't right.

9. do you not get the sexism in that statement and its underlying assumptions?

[Hugh_Lebowski]

18. Assuming it's true that it's what his wife said ...

I'd guess she's probably not that sexist ... unless she's implying that men are useless at helping out with errands.

[niyad]

19. Did you not catch the " less time for higher values" bit? And, incidentally, women can be

just as sexist against their own sex. phyllis schlafly comes iimmediately to mind.

[Hugh_Lebowski]

21. If a woman wants to say, essentially ...

"infrastructure is esp. important to women because we often do a lot of driving, and there's other things we'd rather be doing than spending time in traffic" ... which is the long and short here of what Cassidy is recounting ... I really don't see anything to complain about.

MHO, ymmv (and apparently does).

[niyad]

7. Will be as harsh as I please to this misogynist asshole. And I would not count on his vote

for anything on our agenda.

[Me.]

4. Of Course It Is

Because apparently, according to him they do everything...work...kids..home

[niyad]

5. And there you have it, folks. Women taking care of their families, women's jobs outside the

home, are of no value. Therefore, their concerns about crumbling infrastructure are also of no value, so why waste money on fixing such.

billl, .I knew that you, despite your degrees, are a complete moran, but. . . What a sexist, misogynistic waste of resources you are.

8. Just wondering what you would say....

.... about AOC agreeing with him which I just heard on Meet the Press? Does that make her corrupt and stupid? .

" making sure that in Senator Cassidy's words that infrastructure is very centered on women"

I agree with them. Just ask my wife.

11. When I read this article, I was reminded of an older editorial cartoon...

Ronald Reagan is asking his advisors (three white men, naturally,) how to appeal more to women.

These are the responses:

"Sure Chief, I'll ask my better half."
"I know some broads who would know."
"Dames!"

[quickesst]

16. In other words....

.... you have absolutely no idea how to get out of this little conundrum you find yourself in. Got it.

Here is my take. If Cassidy had not made that statement, but AOC did, it would probably be lauded as an insightful statement into the unfortunate realities of today's society concerning women. 🤔😉

17. ****

10. "There's a lot here to like. It's a good bill." Cassidy

And however much I might disagree with him on other subjects, I'm glad to hear we're on the same page regarding physical infrastructure. Not stupid.

[True Blue American]

13. So am I.

It feels good to have decent Senators work together to solve problems. I am listening to Mitt Romney. He said no to a massive tax increase but there could be some changes.

Mitch has relegated himself to minority status with his nasty do nothing. He will not be minority leader long. They are going around him to get things done. Neither side will get everything but there will be other bills.

12. Wonder how the products that women go to shop for

get to the stores?

Drones?

[Cicada]

15. Women do commute to work and shop and haul kids

He said women will support the infrastructure bill because not only do they commute but they also shop and transport kids. It is smart to realize women do more than their share. Both Louisiana Senators are smart. And both are better than many Republican senators. I think Biden can get their support on some of his proposals. Remember Cassidy is trying to sell this infrastructure deal.

[niyad]

20. did you forget the sarcasm icon after your praise of those two?

[Cicada]

22. No. Why attack someone working with Biden?

Cassidy voted to convict Trump in the second impeachment. He founded a medical clinic for poor uninsured people in Baton Rouge. What he said about women, that they commute and shop and transport kids, in other words do more than their share of a family’s work, is not sexist. I think attacking someone trying to get Biden’s infrastructure bill passed is not a good idea.

Not all Republicans are 100% satanic. We can get good things done by working with some of them.

[True Blue American]

23. Another fine post!

President Biden is working hard to bring people together and any Republican who joins with him deserves applause.

24. On the other hand

John Kennedy of LA. Pretends to be a good ole boy. He isn’t. Used to ba a Democrat. Turned Republican to win in LA.

I know lots of good ole boys. Kennedy is not one of them.
