Gov. Corbett: Reform Liquor Laws So It's Easier For Women To Make Dinner

[kpete]

Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Corbett (R) thinks his state should reform its liquor laws. That way, he argued, women would have an easier job making dinner.

Corbett made the argument in July during an appearance on The Sam Lesante Show. The clip of him making those comments were reposted Tuesday by the Democratic political PAC Fresh Start PA, which supports Corbett's opponent Tom Wolf (D).

"I think a lot of people want to be able to walk into a grocery store," Corbett said. "Particularly, a lot of the women, want to be able to go in and buy a bottle of wine for dinner, go down buy a six pack or two six packs, buy dinner, and go home. Rather than what I just described, is at least three stops, in Pennsylvania."

Pennsylvania Republicans have recently been looking at ways to reform the state's liquor laws.

1. They just don't get it do they?

Pity the poor mother worrying about where to get her wine, while neither she or her kids have health care because Tommy Boy turned down the Medicaid expansion.
Gotta keep the priorities straight

2. Finding new ways to bring more women voters to the GOP. As a Pennsylvanian, I

didn't think Corbett could come up with anything new to embarrass us. I see that I was wrong.

6. It could be worse

You could have Paul LePage. My personal favorite of his verbal idiocies is that people shouldn't be concerned about BPA because the worst that would happen is that some women may have little beards.

3. As a PA resident, my main problem with Corbett...

is that it's impossible to lampoon him.

No matter how preposterously over-the-top the satire, it still pales before the actual polices effected by this man.

4. Hey ladies, we can now walk to the store, pick up dinner and a 12 pack for our

mens! Thanks GOP! That frees up time for the ironing and hauling 12 packs keep us trim!

5. So THAT's who is voting for this guy:

People who think a bottle of wine and two six packs is dinner.
