Cathy McMorris Rodgers

“And why am I, the highest ranking woman in the Republican Party, delivering the GOP response to President Obama’s State of the Union address? Because good Republican women amicably and joyfully submit to what their men want them to do, of course. At least that’s what the party leaders told me. Isn’t that right?”

Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-Washington)

Overheard at Victoria's Secret:

Cathy McMorris Rodgers

“The GOP? Has a master plan to discredit Obamacare as a way to rebuild the party’s popularity, all the while not really giving a shit one way or another? And we’re all supposed to say the same thing all the time? And stomp on the Democrats’ toes every chance we get? Why … that would be underhanded! We’d never act in consort like that and place the needs of the voting public above the goals of our party. Surely you smear our good name! We never all say the same thing!”

Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-Washington) responding to a New York Times story quoting official House GOP memos detailing the party’s continuing opposition to Obamacare and its implementation in the coming months.
