Women in Politics, Debbie Wasserman Schultz and Gender Memes

Democratic National Committee Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz suggested that if women were in charge of the House, the government shutdown would have been resolved in hours. This sentiment became a recurring media meme, crediting female Senators like Susan Collins for the eventual deal. The hosts mock the idea as a sexist political strategy aimed at future elections and discuss Peter King's response involving Sarah Palin.
