“Where did I leave my clothes?”
Missouri, that is:
Missouri Republicans adopt stricter House dress code — but just for women
The Republican-controlled Missouri House of Representatives used its session’s opening day Wednesday to tighten the dress code for female legislators, while leaving the men’s dress code alone.
Now, there’s plenty of problems in Satan’s Hollow (just like everywhere else), but the first issue of the new year and the new session is to police what The Skirts wear to work. So what worries the busybodies so much that they are trying to regulate women’s couture choices and sartorial splendor?
The state House eventually approved a modified version of [Rep. Ann Kelley-R] proposal, which allows for cardigans as well as jackets, but still requires women’s arms to be concealed.
I’m shocked. These wanton Jezebel’s Arms are the debbils playground in Missouri, and all this time I was betting on ankles. Stock up on opera-length gloves, ladies, as summer is gonna be a lot of fun working. That’s a loophole, right?
FYI: We’re nominating Kelley for a Golden Schlafly for setting back women.
Just gonna drop this off…

This sounds like the dress code for meeting the pope. What’s next, hats and white gloves?

Of all the problems we have in the country today, these weiners want to battle with women’s clothing first out of the gate. They hate the Taliban with a white-hot hatred yet they choose to dress their women the same.
They seem to have forgotten they work in the government of a free country and not some mosque in Arabia. If only irony made headlines.

They only hate the Taliban with a white-hot fury because they’re evil moooslems, not because they oppress the wimmins.
Of course they don’t work with som mosque in Arabia; they work with some Southern Baptist church right there in Missouri.

Right to bare arms and all that? But the next step is no girl cooties in the Gubberment house.

That was quick. MO just went from the Show Me state to the For Gawd’s Sake Don’t Show Me state.

Reminds me of the brouhaha over Michelle Obama wearing a sleeveless dress to some event or another. Funny, you’d think there was some double standard or something, wouldn’t you?

Follow the yellow brick road, Auntie Em, but avoid the Missouri statehouse unless you cover your farmer’s tan.
Unbelievable.
Idea for new resolution in Missouri statehouse: all men must cover their mouths with tape before entering.
