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 real ‘lipstick on a pig’ pig finally speaks up...

Madonne, That sweater is enough to make me want to support Mohair Subsidies...

Did she just steal the Code Abortion gals’ color here?

[God Dem American]

Smooch!

[Secret Agent Man]

Makes you wonder if Mike Douglas is still a sex addict?

[tioga]

just be glad she is fully dressed and not in the throes of a lesbo lovefest........

[Secret Agent Man]

“Milulski is gay....”

For all men everywhere, I say a wholehearted “WHEW!”

Makes you wonder when she pays her taxes, if it’s by the pound or by the hectare.

What’s the difference between Barbara Mikulski and a bulldog?

[Yankee]

Every one a three-bagger.

One to cover their face, one for their unfortunate partner and one on the window sill in case a peeping tom happens to look in.

Newsflash, Sen. Mikulski:

Beauty is from the inside out. No matter how much lipstick you guys pile on, you'll still be ugly persons, because you are rotten from within. There is no beauty, no honor, in women who can be hostile towards unborn babies, and who try their darndest to tear apart a real woman like Sarah Palin, who stands up for babies, including her own baby boy who's physically imperfect but perfect in God's eyes.

Basia Mikulski makes Helen Thomas look like Jessica Alba. Lipstick on a warthog for sure (served with Natty Bo).

[tcw_laj4ALL]

Ha! I wonder how much Mikulski paid to have that portrait painted of her??

[Clemenza]

Basia Mikulski is old school Bawlimer, hon'. You cross her and you learn why your homestate is called "Murdaland (though I prefer Merde-aland).

I dunno. Barbara has won more blue ribbon "Armpit Hair"contests than a bulldog?
