Maybe he can play her in a Lifetime Network movie about her life.

This woman is perhaps the most far-left member of Congress. She cannot win state-wide in Wisconsin.

[ConservativeDude]

Did that guy from Idaho ever admit it?

[Clock King]

Democrats PLAN on stealing elections. The people be damned.

[slumber1]

But frankly, this campaign isn’t going to be about me.”

That may be the most idiotic statement I've ever heard from a politician. Of course the campaign is about you. What a maroon

[JimRed]

The “D” after her name is an instant disqualifier.

[TruthHound]

What’s that stuck between her teeth?

Nevermind.

[Trailerpark Badass]

A slightly less-weathered Mick Jagger.

Will Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) be the first gay Senator?,

Bulldog Barbara Mikulski (D) of Maryland does not agree with the headline

And the question implies Leslie Graham is straight?

[Uncle Miltie]

Nice picture....was gonna have to do that if you didn’t.

[ConservativeStatement]

Related to Robert Redford?

[gunnut]

I think Barbara Mikulski is probably the first lesbian senator.

[bwc2221]

Good point.

[brewcrew]

The election to replace the Dairy Queen will occur AFTER the full effect of Wisconsin Voter ID is in place. I’m not sure she could even come close if it weren’t.

“Lipstick Lesbian”(tm)

She has no support outside of Madistan and Milwaukee. I’m ashamed she represents my district in Wisconsin.

[Sacajaweau]

She can dance with Bono at the inauguration ball. Let the attendees figure it out.

“I think Barbara Mikulski is probably the first lesbian senator”

Yup. Bulldog Barbara says been there, done that.

[RichInOC]

Probably not. I’m not saying she wouldn’t win. I’m just saying she probably wouldn’t be the first.
