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.”

The Democrat women are self destructing in front of our very eyes because most use emotion to argue their points vs. many conservative women who use facts. When you are emotional discussing a topic you are at a clear disadvantage because the emotions control you. When you have facts you use those to support your arguments.

That's not to say conservative women don't have emotions when they speak, but they appear to be able to keep them in control and use the facts to get their point across.

Mikulski would make a great concubine for Kim Il Jung. Both are pot bellied midgets.

Yikes !!!! It looks like the front of a Halloween catalog. Hard to decide which is scariest but I’m thinking Babs, Hillary, and Helen can battle it out for 1st place.
