Chron editorial board neglects notable local example of collegiality
The Chronicle's Editorial LiveJournalists went on (and on and on and on) today about women and politics, with all the expected clichés about the more collegial environment that allegedly results from greater representation by women.
Here's an excerpt:
As it turns out, women do bring a distinct character to Congress — but it's not their politics. It's their greater focus on party-neutral legislation that aids mothers and children — and a more collegial way of doing business.
Locally, as Callie reminded me earlier, we've seen that more collegial approach manifest itself in the (temporarily!) former Mayor Pro Tem Carol Alvarado (allegedly) calling fellow female councilmember Shelley Sekula-Gibbs a "bitch" during public proceedings.
Maybe the clichés of the Editorial LiveJournalists only apply to Congress.
