You’d have to get up early in the morning to defeat Ms. DeLauro (I think that’s her name) for that title. That is one ugly broad.

I’m really surprised that the Camera lens survived after that photo was taken.
Rosa Delauro.The bag lady of the third Congressional district in Connecticut.I think she dresses the way she does to conceal from the Public that she and her husband are Multi-millionaires.

To: IronJack
She is NOT the world's ugliest woman. And as for her being "bullied," tough crap. Grow up and get over yourself. Did you read the article? She's courageous as hell, is fully "grown up" and over herself to the point that she can advertise what she knows people tried to shame her over in order to teach others to fight against abusers
If you lived up to your screen name, you would be respectful of her integrity and personal strength.

To: Oldeconomybuyer
She is not ugly. True Ugliness resides in the heart. There are some very very ugly people out there... and some of them may even be nice to look at on the outside. I think we all have at least one ex- that is among the ugliest possible.
