Ladies Who Lunch

WaPo Weigel spoke to Batty Bachmann after lunch today.

"They have to lift the liability cap," said Bachmann. "But if I was the head of BP, I would let the signal get out there -- 'We're not going to be chumps, and we're not going to be fleeced.' And they shouldn't be. They shouldn't have to be fleeced and make chumps to have to pay for perpetual unemployment and all the rest -- they've got to be legitimate claims.

"The other thing we have to remember is that Obama loves to make evil whatever company it is that he wants to get more power from. He makes them evil, and what we've got to ask ourselves is: Do we really want to be paying $9 for a gallon of gas? Because that could be the final result of this."

If someone teetering on the brink would like to be pushed into suicide, they may view & hear all of the luncheon at 1702 PT & 2002 ET, on C-SPAN3.

Also featured: Bay Buchanan, George "Macaca" Allen, & a mess of self-hating non-wymyn from the Clare Boothe Luce Policy Institute. Republican feminist policy? Take a page from Clare Boothe Luce herself:

Clare Boothe Luce was born Ann Boothe, the second illegitimate child of dancer Anna Clara Schneider (aka Snyder, aka Anne Boothe) and William Franklin Boothe. Her father, a violinist and patent-medicine salesman who was married to another woman, instilled in his daughter a love of music and literature. Parts of her childhood were spent in Chicago, Illinois; Memphis, Tennessee (where the Boothe-Snyder family began using the surnames Murphy and Murfé); Union City, New Jersey; and New York City, New York. She had an elder brother, David Franklin. Clare's parents separated in 1912, with her mother thereafter publicly claiming to be a widow though telling her children that she and their father had divorced. To support herself and her young family, Anne Boothe worked as a "call girl" attached to a series of wealthy lovers.

The younger Boothe then went on to marry a wealthy lover, making her slightly more respectable than her mother. Way to go, feminists.
