Kansas lawmaker bans revealing attire for female witnesses
TOPEKA, Kan. -- A Kansas Senate committee chairman has imposed a dress code that prohibits women testifying on an elections or ethics bill from wearing certain clothing while establishing no wardrobe restrictions exclusively for men.
The Topeka Capital-Journal reports that a rule of state Sen. Mitch Holmes' 11-point code of conduct says "low-cut necklines and miniskirts" are inappropriate for women.
Holmes says he offered detailed guidance to women because he had observed provocatively clad women at the state Capitol. He says it's a distraction to the Senate committee during testimony.
What a bunch of buffoons.
At least one republican has some sense.
Republican Sen. Carolyn McGinn: "I am more interested in what they have to say about the direction our state should go than what they're wearing that day."
