Getting arrested is becoming blasé for Midgelle Regina Potts.
Born Mitchell Eugene Potts, Midge changed her name last year to reflect her belief that she is a woman.
She has been arrested five times in Washington.
There were the two times protesting in front of the White House, another at the Supreme Court, another at the Senate Gallery and still another at Sen. John McCain’s (R-Ariz.) office when she sat reading the names of dead soldiers. She has a date in court on May 15.
“They’re all misdemeanors,” she says, passing the arrests off as just another day in the life of an anti-war protester.
In recent weeks, Potts, a member of the anti-war crusade group Code Pink, has turned herself into a splashy presence on Capitol Hill and a known quantity in most congressional offices. She attends high-profile hearings and sits in prime TV spots right behind key witnesses such as Valerie Plame.
Potts, 38, is still pre-op, but has begun hormonal therapy to become a woman. She hopes someday to have the surgical procedure that will fully make her a woman. For now, she dresses the part and dyes her long hair blond (with pink Manic Panic highlights for Code Pink) and wears a face full of peachy-pink blush, pink lipstick and blue eye shadow. She isn’t as attentive to her nails — they are red and chipped.
As she walks with ease in her white sneakers through the Russell Building to the Hart Building, Potts attracts stares and whiplash glances wherever she goes.
On the day we met last week, she wore blue jeans and layered mismatched pink tops and a clashing rainbow scarf. Perched on her head is a pale-pink pillbox hat (do not think Jackie O). On the hat is a sticker that reads, “Defund the war.”
Potts leads the life of a professional protester. Living on Social Security disability, she protests full-time. She comes to Capitol Hill each morning between 7 and 8 and leaves around 5.
In 2002, before the war in Iraq had begun, she came to Washington and joined a month-long anti-war vigil in front of the White House. In 2006 she ran in the primary against then-House Majority Leader Roy Blunt (R-Mo.) and garnered 7 percent of the vote.
During the interview, she spots some women in pink across the way and says urgently, “I have to talk to my friends.” The women, one of whom is wearing a gaudy pink rubber crown, are delighted to see her. The trio discusses who should attend Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton’s (D-N.Y.) press conference.
Born in Springfield, Mo., Potts was raised primarily in Oak Park, Calif., until she was 14. She attended Kickapoo High School in Springfield — the same school, she brags, as Brad Pitt.
In the early ’90s she was in the Navy and was sent over to the Persian Gulf on a ship. Potts says she was honorably discharged because of physical and emotional problems: “I was kind of lost for a couple of years, you know what I mean?”
In 1996, she says, she attended the Democratic National Convention in Chicago and began going on peace walks.
So what does she want to accomplish right now, right here on Capitol Hill?
“I am here to protest against the war and what I feel is American imperialism,” she says, explaining the bond she feels with the other Code Pink ladies who live together in a three-story house five blocks from Union Station. “It’s really nice because we’re all on the same page.”
He/she/it can't hold down a job like everyone else, but he/she/it sure can live a very active life of left-wing freakery. Well someone PLEASE investigate that fraud-ridden racket known as Social Security Disability? (This does NOT apply to those in wheelchairs, mentally challenged etc,. but many of these "disability" claims are ridiculous!)
Hey, thanks for letting us know you still got your pecker...LOL!
"pay for its dickectomy, too"
Allow me to correct your medical terminology. It's called a chopadickoffamy.
You may thank me later.
Your post kind of fleshes this quote out. We are very much funding our own destruction.
Perhaps we could start outsourcing our protests to Iran. We live in a world where paying proxies makes us feel better about ourselves without the inconvenience of actually committing ourselves to something. It's all about the off sets...
"Well, you must tell me, baby
How your head feels under somethin' like that
Under your brand new leopard-skin pill-box hat"
Dylan was brutal.
Somebody really needs to review that disability case.
Why do people feel compelled to go along with this man's delusions by calling him a "she"? You can't make a man into a women with cosmetic surgery, any more than you can make a horse into a zebra by painting stripes on it.
Check out link for Midge potts.

There was a pic of this guy on one of the GOE threads. Almost as ugly as Madea Benjamin or Gael but with a killer 5 o'clock shadow.
I cant think of a better reason to bring back firing squads.
"Check out link"
I am right sorry that I did.
"Living on Social Security disability, she protests full-time."
There is a lot of exploitation of SS benefits, by doctors that will deem somebody disabled.
In this case, mentally ill, I suppose.
It is a scam.
I know. I was trying to find the information on Drudge about her, but can't find it.
Or this? I have so much trouble telling them all apart!!
That critter on the left does not look female to me ...
According this,
There she lays out a platform in favor of a debt-free America, energy independence, term limits, a "People’s Veto" and direct democracy.
.
Potts served on the USS Yosemite in the Persian Gulf during Operation Desert Shield after the first Iraq war. She says she favors a strong national defense but wants to end the current Iraq deployment and reinforce U.S. borders against illegal immigration.
wtf x 10. A pro-borders Gulf War I era veteran, transgendered welfare bum who wants "direct democracy" (tyranny of the majority), favors defense spending, and wants Bush impeached? Less a stopped clocked than a random number generator.
The face of the modern liberal movement.
I had to save these to share them here, I feel so dirty now! [debates taking computer hard drive to car wash to clean it up]
