With state Rep. Lisa Brown, it appears that the concern was she used language that Rep. Mike Callton called inappropriate for “mixed company,” aka the word vagina, which is apparently so filthy a term it must not touch the ears, much less the lips of ladies."

I'd say unbelievable but unfortunately it's not...Republicans seem intent on setting the clock back 50 years or more.

Reminds me of the group who tried to hang a Supreme Court Nominee about 10yrs ago for using the words pubic hair in mixed company! Of course it might have been racist as the poor guy happened to be african american.

Believe it or not, that was 21 years ago, not "about 10." Like they say, time flies when you're having fun!

Except of course the guy ended up on the Supreme Court while the woman ended up censured, so in fact your analogy doesn't apply at all.
