She seriously said that. She actually believes that. And she was a teacher. Wonder what empowering messages she transmitted to the girls in her classes! She maybe ought to spend a little less time at Eagle Forum and Republican Women's Club teas and get out and meet a few more of her constituents. 
Does she really think the woman who cleans her toilets at the State Capitol, waits tables in the evenings, and washes sheets and towels for a local motel on the weekends in order to feed her kids (who she is raising alone because her long-gone husband was a drug addict who beat the crap out of her until she threw him out)...is lazy? ...or just doesn't care? WOW. Wow. wow. Amazing.
