By Joe Duggan
LINCOLN A comment by State Sen. Bill Kintner about the "bad behavior" of women on social welfare programs has prompted one of his legislative colleagues to request an apology.
Kintner made the comment Monday at a town hall meeting in Nebraska City.
He singled out women when he said he objects to paying for bad behavior through tax support of social programs, the Nebraska City News-Press reported.
"Women not men can live a pretty good life'' by making mistakes such as having more children, Kintner said.

a brain transplant may help. Or just a good ass kicking.
Then he says" "Every time I say something, I get attacked." Who'da guessed.
I really don't get how even the dumbest guys think raising kids on welfare money is getting over. Welfare must pay for the nanny, new clothes at Nordstrom's if it's trouble to get to the NYC boutiques, springtime in Paris, weekends in the Hamptons...

I am sick of the republican's War on Women.
Hopefully when we have more FEMALES in the U.S. Congress and at all levels of government this bullshit will stop!
