The feminist movement has a new slogan: "Tits for an Ass."
This felicitous phrase was coined by none other than the National Organization for Women, which Wednesday morning arrived on Capitol Hill with 1,500 nipples -- the rubber kind from baby bottles.
The nipples, in cellophane gift bags with purple ribbon, were presented to the National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform by NOW "as part of its 'Tits for an Ass' campaign calling for the removal of Alan Simpson."
Simpson, the one-time Republican senator and now a co-chairman of the commission, got in some trouble this summer when, in an e-mail about Social Security to an official from the Older Women's League, used an old H.L. Mencken line to describe the government as "a milk cow with 310 million tits."
