A U.S. senator was caught Tuesday on a 'hot mic,' telling a colleague that a congressman who had challenged her to a duel over her health care positions is 'fat' and 'unattractive.' Maine Sen. Susan Collins was one of three Republican women in the upper chamber of Congress last week who held up a GOP-led package that would have repealed and replaced the Obamacare law. Rep. Blake Farenthold, a fellow Republican from Texas, told a radio host that if she were 'a guy from south Texas, I might ask him to step outside and settle this Aaron Burr-style.' At the conclusion of a Senate Appropriations subcommittee hearing Tuesday, Collins was heard talking with Rhode Island Democrat Jack Reed.

That is like a pit bull calling a ST. Bernard ugly.

“And I suppose that is Susan Collins superimposed in the picture? <: <:

I guess he could have called her an ‘old hag/hack’ then maybe her husband would challenge him to a duel?”

Her husband flung himself off the Golden Gate Bridge years ago.

“Congressman Farenthold may be fat and ridiculous, but I didn’t see anywhere that he pouted and refused to vote “yes” because no one offered to buy his vote with pork-you can bet your ass that is what that whiney Collins did.”

Collins...Katherine Hepburn wannabe.

The first time I ever saw or heard of him was in 2010 at the State Republican party of Texas Convention in Dallas. I remember him because of his, er, looks. He seemed to be very well liked, though; I do remember that.

(Susan Collins may have a point, for once, though.)

Creation vs evolution.

Folks when I look at the faces of my children, my wife, my grandchildren, I can see the Face of GOD.

But when I look at the face of susan collins I can see the pond scum and monkey dung that evolution believers claim to have come from.

Ponder, ponder, ponder.

Notwithstanding Farenthold’s idiotic remarks, for Collins to call him unattractive is the dictionary definition of the pot calling the kettle black!

The only way that fat ass could win any sort of duel would be if it were chicken drumsticks at 5 paces.

Ms. Collins is the ultimate politically correct "enlightened" women's issues kind of gal. The type that's offended by everything. She's not really a Republican; it must have been an easier path to getting elected. To hear that someone of her ilk had rude comments about a member of the opposite sex in a private conversation is shocking!

(double-standard sarcasm)

I wonder if the writer of this piece knows the definition of the word “hirsute”?

Women say men cannot call them fat or ugly, that is body shaming language, hurtful and sexist.

They are such hypocrites, they think its totally okay for them to call a man fat or ugly. They never hold themselves to the standards they hold others up to.

Actually, she didn’t call him fat and unattractive.

She called him huge and unattractive.

Really, really bad reporting.
