NBC News has learned that Rep. Candice Miller (R-Mich.) will be named chair of the House Administration Committee. Miller did not serve on the committee during the 112th Congress.
Lack of diversity has been an issue for the GOP, and many strategists believe that the party’s problems with women and minorities led to President Obama’s re-election.
Miller has been in Congress since 2003, and her highest committee level post is on the House Homeland Security Committee.
The House Administration Committee deals with the pertinent administrative business of the House. The committee can decide such mundane things as whether or not the House cafeterias will use paper or Styrofoam plates -- or more serious matters such as benefit packages for congressional workers and how the Library of Congress operates. The Committee also monitors the expense accounts of House members.
House Speaker John Boehner issued this statement: “From ensuring the House runs efficiently and smoothly, to making Congress more open and accessible, Candice has a big job ahead as chairman of the House Administration Committee. In her new post, Candice will provide the leadership needed to keep operating costs down, save taxpayer dollars, and help lawmakers use new technology to better engage with their constituents. And her experience as Michigan secretary of state will be invaluable given the committee’s oversight of campaign finance and election laws.

funny .they thought.people never notice...
I'm surprised they didn't just create a new Congressional Committee of Tokenship.
3 weeks after the election and as Gov.J said ,"We are the party of stupid".
have yall seen that dummy ..who put a tattoo of Romney on his face...now he wants it off....his mother must be proud...must be bauchmann
Oh Brave New World....the Republicans have discovered the wisdom and contributions of women.... NOT!!
I can't believe that the Republicans would stoop so low as adding a token woman to the position. I don't think most people will believe they are seriously including women in their party. They remain the party of Old White Men.
and dumb women who follow them
Farce! Thats all this is, a farce! The rethugs will never change. This is a puppet possition, nothing more! The GOP/TP hate women! Hell, they even started a war against women. Who do they think they will fool? Not me!!
First things first, we need to see the following:
hahahah nothing wrong there...thats what God would ask
Sheer theatrics folks . . . nothing more, nothing less.
Where does the money for this garbage come from? Is it from the General Fund, the same fund that Social Security and Medicare are in? Low life scumbags need to bring their own lunches I have for over 50 years! How does that work anyway you take a break after the front nine to catch lunch at the cafeteria or do they cater it to you on the golf course? I can see where paper plates might come in handy on the golf course. What do you say Boehner, paper or plastic for your shot glass? I doubt you use a glass, you look like a bottle man if you ask me!
so they are forced to put a women on a committee..and what do they put her in? "The House Administration Committee deals with the pertinent administrative business of the House. The committee can decide such mundane things as whether or not the House cafeterias will use paper or Styrofoam plates"...oh joy. A head secretary. Nice.
Anybody got a picture? Is she hot?
Palin I think..looks and no brains
Palin...? I'd hit that.
Michael, you would probably screw the crack of dawn if given the opportunity... going through a dry spell?..
I( wounder how they pick this women...did they put names in a jar ..shake it up ..and then let Glenn Beck ..pull her name out of the mayonnaise jar
Did you see the Bammy doll in the jar of "urine" on eBay!! Now THAT was funny!!!!
Perfect - the GOP places a woman in charge of the committee whose job is to determine what type of plates they use in the House cafeteria. That's what women are good at!
hahahahah..Jesus would have them in the cafeteria..
Well, whaddaya know. The GOPTeaBags finally decided to add a token woman to their full white men only roster in order to try and make them look better, and of course, made sure to keep their Chairs all white,. Too bad it won't work. All American women are not so stupid as to buy that pathetic and very insulting gesture.
Maybe so - but Miss Miller sure got bitch slapped into taking the 'job'. Yes, you girls need to be subservient to all us men folks. Now, order me a pizza. And some beer.
Mark440 - "Now, order me a pizza. And some beer."
No problem, just as soon as you finish washing the woodwork and scrubbing the kitchen floor. Oh...and don't forget to take the trash out.
So they give her the housekeeping chores, choosing cups for the cafeteria. Are these guys for real. How clueless can you get. Mad Men alive and well in the GOP or the 50's alive and well. But then they have Michelle Bachmann on the Intelligence committee which is also a LOL.
have yall notice all the bad lawyers work for fox news...the health care will not get pass..fox lawyers who were bad in the real world works as spokesmen at fox...have y'all notice that...and Obama will be a one term President..on Fox news
So where the hell is Miss Miller's backbone? Why would she submit herself to be the token 'female' for these asses? Her answer should have been - and without any hesitation - 'Go get your owned damned coffee, prick.'
Oh but maybe she can do some good in her new position. Hogwash. She got bitch slapped into submission.
Finally, because we know that all males suck; except the males that do suck.
The only women dumb enough to be suckered in my this bit of window dressing, already vote Republican!
Couldnt they have found a more obscure and unheard of committee to give to the token?
Hahahaha Only After Criticism Huh ?!?! LOLOL You can't make this retarded Republi-dumb BS Up! LOLOLOLOL
Why would any woman vore for a republican? Oh that's right, there are many gold digging greedy bitches out there.
I love that they made her the chair of the House Secretarial Committee. Awesome.
The republicans NEVER do the right thing from the start and NEVER do the right thing ever.
