When trailblazer Senator Betty Riley first went to Washington, she railed against the old men she was forced to suffer at the hands of.
The sexist harassment and abuse, their constantly falling asleep in meetings, and carelessly letting their staffers run their offices.
“You washed-up evil monsters!” she shouted. “You should retire to let fresh new perspectives in!”
Fifty years later, decrepit and falling asleep in meetings, Betty let her own staffers run her office.
Occasionally, they wheeled her to talk shows and woke her up long enough to shriek at detractors as being sexist and disrespectful of her elders.
