Posted: 06/ 6/11 04:59 PM ET

Just before Anthony Weiner went before the cameras to announce his Twittering problem, he confessed all to Nancy Pelosi.

"She was not happy," he reported.

"....The rest of us might want to confine ourselves to electing women."

Facts on Women in Congress 2011
Summary
Women hold 89, or 16.5%, of the 535 seats in the 112th US Congress — 17, or 17.0%, of the 100 seats in the Senate and 72, or 16.5%, of the 435 seats in the House of Representatives. In addition, three women serve as Delegates to the House from Guam, the Virgin Islands and Washington, DC.

We are over 50% of the population and a measly 17% of Congress.

So, how do we get the fucking banksters out of our way?
