Olivia Wilde's mom Leslie Cockburn loses VA House race to Republican 'Bigfoot erotica' fan
Daily Mail ^

Actress Olivia Wilde's mother, Leslie Cockburn, has lost in the House race for Virginia's 5th Congressional District to an alleged Bigfoot erotica fan.

Republican Denver Riggleman beat Democrat Cockburn, an Emmy award-winning journalist and first time candidate with 53.6 per cent to 46.3 per cent - despite tough campaigning by the Hollywood star's mother.

The House star, who backed and campaigned for her mom's run, has not commented on her loss.

Cockburn sensationally revealed over the summer that Riggleman was a fan of 'bigfoot erotica', suggesting the odd fetish made him unfit to govern. Actress Olivia Wilde's mother, Leslie Cockburn (pictured with her daughter as they waited for results), has lost in the House race for Virginia's 5th Congressional district to an alleged Bigfoot erotica fan

“Is this Wild character a big deal? Never heard of her.”

“B” list at best.
On the tv show “House” she played a bisexual doctor working for the shows star for 5 years. She once made the comment that if a director needed a bisexual or lesbian they automatically called her.

Pretty but typical Hollywood. D.C. is her hometown and her parents are VERY liberal.

My daughter lives in Charlottesville and voted Riggleman. I think she’s one of five known conservatives in Berkeley East.

She gets mad, or maybe scared when I wear my MAGA hat when I’m there.

The Steve Miller or Guess Who/Wolfman Jack version of Pompetus of Love?

That’s the one.

I know what “Maurice” and “Gangster of Love” mean. I sing those when I’m trippin’. But “Pompetus of Love” blows my mind.

I read the article and still don’t know the answer. Maybe it was just made up to rhyme.

RealClearPolitics had the race as a tossup with Leslie leading by 1%, based on one poll taken by the NY Times.

Just a guess, that poll was done in and around Cville, which is not a good sample of the district at all.

Virginia 5th District

I thought they called it for Riggleman last night. Guess I was wrong.

They called it for Riggleman last night, I was just commenting on the fact that it was wrongly predicted to be a close race. The one poll taken back in October by the NY Times was not very accurate .

So is Bigfoot male or female? Is this like an extreme of a gay “bear” thing?

Cockburn? What an unfortunate name. Probably got traumatized in school.

What?
“Bigfoot erotica”???

He had naked pictures of Bigfoot?
What’s the big deal? All that hair and stuff!

Maybe he was having sex with Bigfoot, then you might have an issue!

She’s made some movies but the only one I saw was Cowboys and Aliens with Harrison Ford.

She was in Ron Howard’s Rush, about formula 1 racing in the 70’s.
She was also in Tron:Legacy.

At age 34 if she hasn’t made the A list yet she probably won’t.

She is already wearing her “Irish Bob” 2020 T shirt.

I watched Rush on DVD but do not recall who she might have been. Evidently forgettable.
