Kirsten Gillibrand is working very hard on her arms and to show you she has a sense of humor.


Here's the background story on that "ranch" thing, in case you've forgotten. It was embarrassing but not as embarrassing as that comb-as-fork story was for Amy Klobuchar. Strangely, both embarrassments were salad-related. Is that absurdly sexist?

Yesterday she was on Twitter reminding everyone she’s a mom and begging for people to not leave her off the debate stage.

She’s a US Senator from NY still looking for 65,000 donors.

It's funny how the patterns always repeat. Here's another politician demonstrating physical robustness. Remember barechested Putin on the horse?

Interrupting her speech and asking for ranch during her speech is a good dis. Back before there were memes I could see that sinking a candidate. Haven't we done it for less? Wasn't there a candidate who camped out at the top of an escalator to shake hands and caused a major backup that commuters yelled at them about?

Hillary had six layers of people between her and the public so these things wouldn't happen to her...

That's some pretty hefty dumbells for a flat bench press...for a woman.

If Andy Kaufman were still alive there's a high probability a female candidate would wrestle him.

Wasn't the ranch for wings or to dip the pizza? Gotta think like an undergrad at a pizza place-bar. In any case, it was hilarious.

Umm, currently Jellibrand is hovering between 0 and 1% in the polls.

She might have to find a new PR chief or perhaps a substantive idea that catches the fancy of a few million voters.

PJ said...

KG’s “new workout shirt” reminded me of her new apron. I think that wasn’t supposed to happen.

Cute. Somewhere else I've seen her called Gillibraindead.

...like wrestling Andy Kaufman.

Kirsten Gillibrand should ask Mattress Girl to lend her a mattress to carry around for exercise.

David Begley said...

This woman is as unlikeable as Hillary.

michaele said...

Good lord, she's white. She'd make a great "after" in a New Tide commercial...gets your whites whiter than white.

Authentic boobs or not?

Enough to reignite my shingles back pain.
Last night, on the Y walking track, I was passed by not just another walker for the first time--but by a 40-something grrl. Plus she had to hiss me out of the passing lane (I walk without glasses or eyeliner).

Is it a catty dig at Knoblauch whilst at the same time maintaining plausible deniability? If so, give her credit for subtlety and skill in use of the stiletto.........I just saw The Girl in the Spider Tattoo. It starred Claire Foy. She was so very good in The Crown, playing Queen Elizabeth. In the new movie, she played an action hero. I could believe her as Queen Elizabeth. It was a star making turn, but as an action hero, she looks kind of silly........There's the same crossed signals with Gillibrand. Her physical strength doesn't impress me, but maybe she could do better being poised and set to pounce.......It's hard for a woman to be an action hero. Jennifer Lawrence, Gal Godot, and Charlize Theron are the only ones to credibly pull it off. Gillibrand will never to be able to compete for Kennedysque "vigah" with O'Rourke, but maybe she can make inroads against Sanders and Biden.

And she was committing category error re social security good grief, and shes a witch hunter without the hat,

The Hillary Clinton/Andy Kaufman wrestling match could still occur, through the magic of digital effects. Or a 4chan meme.

If you want attractive with a dollop of wrongheaded theres tulsi gibbard but she's in the second or third tier.

Charlie said...

These are the Salad Days of the campaign.

Birches said...

I feel embarrassed watching her campaign.

tds said...

2 reps is a fake exercise. You either do 8-10 for muscle growth, or 12-15 for lean strength. Of those we should also see her last 3 reps (which should be a real struggle) to get impression whether she's a faker or a fighter.

narciso said...

She doesn't look well, I noted that in that other thread.

David53 said...

She has some nice biceps. Is Meade ready for another pull up contest?

hombre said...

Kirsten has guns!

Is there a workout for good sense?

Wince said...

It's like KG's designed her campaign strategy using finger paints.

Sally327 said...

A woman on her back? I think she needs to rethink the optics here.

MayBee said...

It's embarrassing she pointed out the shirt, rather than letting people notice it.

BJM said...

Pshaw...those aren't guns; these are guns.

Ranch dressing is a plague here down South. It's the condiment of choice. They even want to put it on tacos. Ugh.

tcrosse said...

Al Franken sends thoughts and prayers.

JaimeRoberto said...

I'm not a fan, but that is pretty funny. Good for her for taking that with a sense of humor.

stlcdr said...

Need a ‘Politicians and Food’ tag.

Rosalyn C. said...

She needs to up her game and work out in a sports bra. If you want to appeal to the animal instincts be sexy, not cerebral.

Howard said...

definitely not prime breeding material.

Set up at SXSW opposite that Buttgeiger guy to highlight her past wrongthink.

Paul Ciotti said...

Excuse my being so dense, but I don't understand what is the slightest bit interesting, funny or significant and about a college student trying to squeeze through the crowd behind Gillibrand to get herself some salad dressing. Why would this go viral? What do people see that I missed?

rehajm said...

Ranch dressing with pizza implies you need better pizza.

veni vidi vici said...

Rappers would refer to her kind as "Salad-ass b*tches".

Regardless, she's insufferable. And no "Just Frting to Get Some Ranch" t-shirt is going to help her with that.

Aurora said...

She shouldn't be seen in shots like this. She comes across as very unattractive. Why would she showcase such a lackluster body?

Jay Vogt said...

It's kind of an Iowa thing. I mean, I guess you'd have to be here to fully appreciate it. The tee shirt is undoubtedly from a local company called Raygun. The've made quite a nice business designing and selling midwest-centric (mostly Iowa related) pithy saying tee shirts and sportswear. The humor on them is usually self depreciating or plays on coastal elite confusion about midwestern names and geography. (Iowa / Ohio / Idaho). Mostly they're light-hearted . . . . . but they've taken to really going after Steve King for instance. They're not opaque about their politics.

Their salad days have gone from green to brown.

People should never forget she is an evil person that wants to see innocent people go to jail and destroy due process.
