Sen. Mikulski: Democratic women wear lipstick too

STERLING, Virginia (CNN) – Firing up supporters at a women’s rally with Joe Biden in Virginia Friday, Sen. Barbara Mikulski told the crowd, “Democratic women, we wear lipstick too!” referring to Sarah Palin’s now-famous joke that the difference between a pitbull and a hockey mom is lipstick.

“You and I know that we women in America are mad as hell and we don’t want to take it anymore,” the spirited Maryland senator said. “I’m here today to say to you, we’ve got to get ready here, ok? Women, square your shoulders. Women, Democratic women, we wear lipstick too!”

“We don’t need another George Bush in earrings being the No. 2 spot,” Mikulski added.

Taking the stage, Biden thanked Mikulski, saying “They asked me could I handle Sarah Palin? I said, 'try debating Barbara Mikulski!'”

The Delaware senator focused his remarks on women's issues, saying that demographic is the most affected in an economic downturn.

“We're going to change that because here's the deal, we've got to restore both the protections and the dignity,” said Biden, “Because when the economy goes south, it's women who go, whether they're making minimum wage or working for a major corporation.”

Dear Lord, who is writing this woman’s speeches.

The LAST thing she ought to be doing is talking about lipstick.

It’s like OJ saying, “Judge, being back in a courtroom is a real pain in the neck.”

When I see pictures like this, I think, “I hope I never look like that!” Nobody’s taking pictures of me, fortunately.

The democratic women are showing themselves to be low class and just downright mean. When does one ever hear a Republican woman talking and writing like these people do?

“spirted”? I guess nasty, politicaly bigoted and emotionally hysteric could be considered “spirited”

And showing that not only do they not GET the joke, but that they have absolutely no sense of humor in the process. The joke is that the DIFFERENCE between a pit bull and a hockey mom is lipstick. The joke is not “What’s the difference between a Republican woman and a Democratic woman? Lipstick.”

Twits. All of ‘em.
