When Republicans Take Over

by tristero

When Republicans take over, New York State Edition:

In the new session, 30 of the Senate’s standing committees will be led by Republicans; three will be led by Democrats. Twenty-nine will be headed by men; four will be headed by women. Nineteen will be led by senators from upstate; 14 will be led by senators from New York City and its suburbs.

But all the committee chairmanships share at least one characteristic in common.

Want to take a guess what that might be? Give that reader a kewpie doll!

“They’re all white,” said State Senator Rubén Díaz Sr., Democrat of the Bronx. “Everybody’s white.”…

True. But this is unfair:

The current group of 32 Republicans does not count a member of a minority in its ranks.

I don’t think the reporter did his homework. It could be there’s at least one Jew amongst them: Democrat Jeffry D. Klein (all committee chairs are appointed by the Republicans). Objectively speaking, Jews are as much a minority as any other in Our Christian Nation ™.

Hey! If we look hard enough, maybe we’ll even spot a Papist!
