Why are most of the questions coming from Republicans aimed at Clapper

[erinlough]

And most questions coming from Democrats going to Yates? Is Clapper seen as a Repub or are they afraid of Yates?

[MattP]

1. Republicans are afraid of women

[dchill]

2. They won't deign to speak to a woman...

when they could easily ask a MAN.

[Wounded Bear]

3. Probably, yes...

Clapper's involvement isn't as public as Yates'.

[blogslut]

4. Because they don't want to know what She has to say.

5. I Think They Are Afraid Of Yates And What She Might Say.....

that they don't want to hear or be made public.

6. They're scared of Yates after she cut Cornyn's nuts off.

9. Cornyn is a big old...

...cow pie.

He should have known better than to try to best Ms. Yates.

7. They do not consider women's knowledge, expertise, or...

...opinions to be worth bothering with.

8. They don't want to give her a chance to speak

She might spill something they don't want to have to deal with.

Also, she's a female. If they're not screwing us or have a chance of screwing us, they really don't want to talk to us.

10. Because Sally has their number.

11. I agree with all responses here

I just wanted some corroboration that I was on the right track and not just having a knee jerk response.
