In our last post Howie took a nostalgic look back at the age-old and still-raging Republican War Against Women. In case there are readers who haven't been keeping up with this week's Doonesbury series, I thought we might recap the story of this desperate GOP in-house attempt to deal -- with the help of a trainer from Sensitivity Solutions -- with what Doonebury creator Garry Trudeau, with his inimitable ear, has deliciously dubbed the party's "Lady Problem."


DOONESBURY -- Monday
"I politely ask if you're menopausal?"
