Congresswomen are congresswomen - you are, sorry. And for women who want to be congressmen, there's a screw loose in their head. I'm proud of being a woman. I think 'congresswoman' is the appropriate term, and 'Madame chair' is just fine with me.
The Governor's Office is going to get out of the litigation business.
When you are a politician, it means to work for the benefit of the country, not to stay home. In politics, it ends only when one dies.
