Thief steals former Maryland Sen. Mikulski's famed footstool, employee reports
Baltimore Sun ^ | Lillian Reed

Posted on 02/02/2019 6:45:47 PM PST by simpson96

At 4 feet 11, former U.S. Sen. Barbara Mikulski almost stood a little shorter this week after a thief stole her famous footstool out of a car in Hampden.

Mikulski’s signature footstool, which she uses for speaking engagements, was stolen out of an employee’s car on Falls Road in Hampden, according to an internet post from the employee Monday.

The employee posted the story to the social media platform Nextdoor asking neighbors for help after a thief broke into her car and stole a bag containing the collapsible stool. She believed the thief mistook the bag for a purse and might have discarded the stool nearby upon discovery.

The employee asked to not be identified for safety reasons.

Mikulski’s stool has become notable over the former Maryland senator’s career. For years, the item, which has been described as blue and carpeted, garnered mentions in media coverage from publications like The Baltimore Sun and Washington Post.

A number of people commented on the post on Nextdoor, some even offering to buy a new step stool for the former U.S. senator for Maryland.

The employee later told the Sun that a neighbor later found the stool in a trash can.

Most politicians are exceptionally good at faking sincerity.


I would bet my house most United States Senators do not shop for their groceries on a regular basis.

Yeah, vying with New Joisey for the arsehole of the nation.

Both states allegedly have some good areas, but I withhold judgement.

She can always just keep standing on American’s 2nd amendment rights or the rights of the unborn.

"Sunday school chorus"

*Every morn at nine you could see her arrive

She stood four foot eleven and weighed 245

Kinda broad at the shoulders and very wide at the hips

And everyone knew ya didn't give no lip to Little Mikulski

babs mikulski was a sorry excuse for a senator. when my brother-in-law died and my sister called her office for help, they wouldn’t do anything. when i called her about some utility rate hike, she said that i couldn’t expect her to question that just for me. when i suggested that other of her constituents would also be affected, and that i had noticed that she accepted a $2500 donation from said utility, never heard another word from her. useless!
