In her upcoming book “Off the Sidelines,” Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., reveals she was the subject of insensitive comments about her weight from male colleagues in the House and Senate.
According to an excerpt posted by PEOPLE magazine, Gillibrand details an incident in her book where a male colleague saw her in the gym said, “Good thing you’re working out, because you wouldn’t want to get porky!” According to the Huffington Post, Gillibrand responded, “”Thanks, a–hole.”

O.K., she’s fat and swears.
What are her other qualifications to represent the Empire State in the Senate?

She won’t shame the perp ... maybe it’s not true but a grab for sympathy when she has nothing else to offer.

Oh, no, an insensitive remark-—the worst kind of all! /P
I looked up her pics, and from what I can see, she’s not fat...just sort of average, unless she’s gained weight recently. So why is she offended?

Reid?
Anyway, is this supposed to show her sensitive side? Are we supposed to feel sorry for her?
‘Cause I’m not feeling it.

I don’t believe it was said but if it was it wasn’t a Republican.
If it was true it was probably Senator Robert Byrd (D-WV) who said it.
She is trying to imply it was a Republican from the south.
To: mikrofon
Well, if she’s fat, she is fat.

Only pics I saw were of the face, and she is certainly not within range of Landrieu or whatever her name is. Pics of the face only are suspect, like all the ones of Her Thighness and threats against photogs that took below the waist shots.
Hard to say what is happening down below, where the damage starts early.
To: mikrofon
Anyone, who makes such a big deal out of such a remark, has lived a sheltered, privileged, coddled life.
