The president's men are doing very well. The president's women are doing slightly less well, but still not bad.
With new White House salary figures leaked to The Washington Post and an Excel spreadsheet, crack researcher Margot Williams determined that men in the Bush White House earn an average of $76,624 a year. Women earn $59,917 on average. That means Bush women earn about 78 percent of what Bush men earn.
As it happens, that's almost exactly the national average for the gap in pay between the sexes, although it's a good bit below the 88 percent for the nearly 1 million professional and administrative employees in the federal workforce.
Nothing like setting the standard for corporate America, good job there dubya. Man, I want to smash that glass ceiling with my fists and be done with that sexist bullshit, m u t h a f u k i n s p l a t! I'm in a full on bitchy mood tonight, you have been warned. :)
