How about that she is painfully stupid
Don’t look at her straight on, or you’ll turn to sto...
Is she like those baseball players who don’t shave for fear of breaking some lucky spell? ‘Cause it looks like she hasn’t washed her hair since GWB was in office. There’s less grease on the axles of my car.
A really, really, really bad hair day.
I hope they keep Debbie WasheswithMayo Sluts! She’s such an assh-, er asset!
How about be about doing something for your office as opposed to being a party shill, Ms. Shultz?
Beauty...skin deep...ugly...bone.
Yeah, she really ought to pay attention to her neck and face.
Its afro sheen she is down with the struggle
Women with hair like hers need to wear it short.......and wash it once in awhile. She is so gross looking.
Some one needs to tell the headline writer to never use the words “turn on” in conjunction with DWS in a sentence again. NEVER!
She forgot to rinse!
