>    Sen. Charles E. Grassley (R-Iowa) told reporters that the
>    Senate Judiciary Committee's inability to attract Republican
>    women might be caused by its heavy workload, a remark the
>    panel's chairman tried to retract a few minutes later. "It's a
>    lot of work -- maybe they don't want to do it," Grassley told
>    the Wall Street Journal, NBC News and other outlets, as he
>    headed toward the Senate floor for a speech by Sen. Susan
>    Collins (R-Maine). The committee, which has turned into a
>    partisan hotbed in the past five years, has never had a
>    Republican woman serve on it, even as the Senate's ranks have
>    doubled from three to six female GOP senators in recent years.
