Susan Collins: That Guy Who Called Me a Sell-Out for Defending Obamcare to the Hilt Sure is "Fat" and "Unattractive"

She said this to Jack Reed, who is of course a liberal Democrat Senator. Because of course a liberal Democrat is, John McCain style, her very good friend.

Just a lot of bitchiness from our degenerate Mean Girls political caste. This isn't a very serious offense -- but then, nothing they do or say is actually serious. It's all high school Mean Girls put-downs and posturing for social position (such as posturing about opposing Obamacare).

Collins issued her apology after she was heard telling Sen. Jack Reed, D-R.I., that Farenthold is "so unattractive it's unbelievable" after a Senate Appropriations subcommittee hearing Tuesday.

"Well, fat guy. He's huge," Collins told Reed. "He's so … he's so unattractive, it's unbelievable. Did you see the picture of him in his pajamas next to this bunny, this Playbook bunny?

Anyone seen Susan Collins? She's not exactly the gold standard of physical beauty herself.

Collins' catty remarks were caught on hot mic. They were a response to Farenthold's statement on a talk radio show that some "northeastern" senators had sold out the party on Obamacare (which is true), and that were this a different era, and were those senators male, he might challenge them to a duel.

The last bit seems a bit histrionic and Social Positioning itself.

Still, it's pretty clear who Susan Collins' Very Good Friends are, and who she considers to be The Deporables in the national high school.
