Finally, thanks to John Boehner, women in the capital can go to the bathroom without a quarter mile hike. I'm sure we can all agree that having proper access to the toilet is critical to everyone, regardless of occupation or gender. Besides, in a place where both the men and women are typically full of .... it's important to have to have a restroom handy. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2011/07/26/congresswomen-get-closer-restroom-in-nod-to-potty-parity/?test=latestnews

I think that any place where there is a men's room, there should be a ladies room right next to it, and vice versa. As for them being full of it, great point. :)

Good for Boehner but how much is it going to cost to put it there, here's a cheap way just take the sigh off the men's bath room and put it on the women then put the men's sign on the women's rest room and it won't cost that much....The men could use a hike because have you seen the weight on those pokers lately....

Sorry, Taskr, I REALLY can't resist... You may have a thin and fit Congressman but your Governor is quite the porker...lol! After seeing him need a ride from his state helicopter to the bleachers at his son's baseball game I think I know why! Annie

Yeah, there's certainly no question that Christie is a hefty guy. Of course we're talking about congressman, so he doesn't count. My current congressman is Robert E. Andrews. He's the guy that looks identical to Will Forte from Saturday Night Live.

I haven't noticed any significant difference in the weight and fitness of male versus female congressman. In fact a lot of the current congressman are actually younger and fitter since many of the older ones got voted out. Off the top of my head I can't think of more than a handful of overweight congressman.

So, "Miss Feminist" Nancy Pelosi did fight for bigger and better aircraft for herself, but did nothing about this potty parity problem... the entire time she's been in Congress, much less when she lead it.

I do find that rather odd. I know that she will never do anything that doesn't benefit her directly so maybe the Speaker gets their own private bathroom. That would explain why she did nothing for the other women in congress.

Here, I thought that sour result look resulted from having to hold it too long.

There is also the opinion floating around that there should be more ladies' rooms than men. This is due to the unusually large lines. Good for Boehner. He should be the next President based on this political maneuvering.
