Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Corbett (R) thinks his state should reform its liquor laws. That way, he argued, women would have an easier job making dinner.
Corbett made the argument in July during an appearance on The Sam Lesante Show. The clip of him making those comments were reposted Tuesday by the Democratic political PAC Fresh Start PA, which supports Corbett’s opponent Tom Wolf (D).
“I think a lot of people want to be able to walk into a grocery store,” Corbett said. “Particularly, a lot of the women, want to be able to go in and buy a bottle of wine for dinner, go down buy a six pack or two six packs, buy dinner, and go home. Rather than what I just described, is at least three stops, in Pennsylvania.”
Pennsylvania Republicans have recently been looking at ways to reform the state’s liquor laws.

The TPM Polltracker average gives Wolf a 15.5 point lead over Corbett.

Daniel, Daniel, Daniel.
May I suggest you visit the liquor ghetto that is the state-run monopoly wine and spirits store. I make dinner too, and I’m white, male, fat, and ugly.
This isn’t about Corbett singling out women to make dinner. This is about making it easier for Pennsyltuckians to self-medicate while being violated by the fossil fuel extraction industry.
This reads like some consultant told Corbett to court “The Woman Voter” by discussing policy changes from a woman’s perspective.
…And Tommy doesn’t really know what that means. At all.
Stick a fork in him, because he’s done.
Their liquor laws are really dumb. Why do only the Repubs want to reform them? Do the Dems really think being able to buy beer & wine at the grocery store will somehow hurt their state?
p.s. I agree he mucked up his argument though.
Well, I think with a little planning, the ladies should be able to manage just fine, as is.
Time to start thinking ahead, gals.
