Men Got Us Into The Shutdown, Women Got Us Out

Senators John McCain (R-Ariz.) and Mark Pryor (D-Ark.) said on Wednesday afternoon that their female colleagues can take most of the credit for driving the compromise that is expected to temporarily reopen the U.S. government and raise the debt ceiling before Thursday's deadline.

"Leadership, I must fully admit, was provided primarily from women in the Senate," McCain said after the bipartisan deal was announced.

Pryor said that people sometimes like to joke about women in leadership, but he is a huge fan of his female colleagues after watching them negotiate. "The truth is, women in the Senate is a good thing," he said. "We're all just glad they allowed us to tag along so we could see how it's done."

McCain - the old fart is full of surprises. Living in AZ, I watched him (and Kyl) for 25 years of refusing to do anything about the illegals and he (they) still haven't done anything except bitch because President Obama has deported more illegals and has hired more Border Patrol when they refused to even consider it.

But, every so often, he says something worth hearing.
