"What she said was offensive...It was so offensive, I don't even want to say it in front of women. I would not say that in mixed company."
-- Michigan state Rep. Mike Callton, on Rep. Lisa Brown being banned from speaking on the House floor for saying the word "vagina"

"It wasn't about body parts...It was the 'No means no' comment. A step too far...It's like giving a kid a time out for a day."
-- state Rep. Wayne Schmidt, defending the ban

Callton has a degree in biology, served in the Army, is the Vice Chair of the House Health Policy Committee, and is a practicing chiropractor. And he has problems with the proper anatomical reference to a woman's reproductive organ?

It's a Republican rule - name something and you have to acknowledge it exists. If you can stop people from being able to say what something is, you can pretend it didn't exist and control it.
