Girls Rule I: An All Female Hearing

From Politico's Shenanigans blog, July 9th:

Yesterday in the House Rules committee people took notice of something somewhat different: everyone involved was a woman.

Rules Chairwoman Louise Slaughter was speaking to two witnesses: Reps. Nita Lowey (D-N.Y.) and Kay Granger (R-Texas), the chairwoman and ranking member of the State and Foreign Operations Subcommittee.

Slaughter noted: "This is the first time that the chairman and ranking member are women."
