GROUNDBREAKING POLITICAL HAIRSTYLES

That's hot.WHAT HAS BARBARA BOXER DONE TO HER HAIR? Maybe it’s just been a while since we’ve seen her on television. Now she looks like Meredith Viera. Dude down the aisle from us is losing his mind clapping for Barbara Boxer. “Sixty is the new fifty,” the end, thank you California. Onward.

    Does she have a gag in her mouth? Cause then she’s Gloria Allred.

  2. hockeymom says at 7:19 pm, August 26th, 2008

    I was talking about this yesterday.
    She looks amazing.
    I want her surgeon.

  3. No way man…Klobuchar is the real hottie.

    Oh and from here on out I now have an automatic crush on any Senator named Barb.

  4. hockeymom says at 7:27 pm, August 26th, 2008

    N8Ma:
    Amy Klobuchar?

    I’ll give you she’s a great senator….but if she’s hot, it’s more in “the girl who sits fourth chair in the clarinet section” type hot.

    Boxer’s new doo makes up for Big Butch Feinstein’s crew cut and military fatigues.

  6. tunamelt says at 7:29 pm, August 26th, 2008

    RuperttheBear: usually you have to convince them to put the gag in

  7. itgetter says at 7:33 pm, August 26th, 2008

    I don’t have time to think about Barbara Boxer’s hair! I’m still wondering about Michelle’s cocktail dress goddammit!

  8. smellyal8r says at 7:35 pm, August 26th, 2008

    Barb’s lucky that she’s the “junior” Senator. Feinstein was in politics when Harvey Milk was shot for God’s sake. Also, note how empty the hall is. Back in the day, these were speeches at 10 in the morning.

  9. Jonny Lieberman says at 7:35 pm, August 26th, 2008

    “Meredith Viera”

    You can’t stop yourself from dropping all these ivory towered, pointy-headed elitist elite references that force us state school bitters to the wikis, can you Sara Harvard?

  10. loquaciousmusic says at 7:36 pm, August 26th, 2008

    So apparently there’s some “convention” going on in, like, Boulder or something. And a Margaret Hamilton impersonator is speaking tonight?

    Are you guys watching it?

  11. smellyal8r says at 7:41 pm, August 26th, 2008

    loquaciousmusic: No, no. You’ve got it all wrong. It’s from a Stephen King book. The forces of good are gathering around a black woman (Michelle) in Denver.

  12. RuperttheBear says at 7:41 pm, August 26th, 2008

    tunamelt: When they see Obama’s junk, they’ll do so willingly. So as not to wake the children. THINK OF THE CHIRREN!

  13. wheelie says at 7:43 pm, August 26th, 2008

    loquaciousmusic: There is a guy now saying, “Conservatives, we will not be conned by those they serve. Ha, ha, he totally pwned the Republicans with that quip. What next? “Republican - it sounds a bit like ‘rape’ and ‘ugly-ton’. Ha ha.”

  14. loquaciousmusic says at 7:43 pm, August 26th, 2008

    Oh, also? I have, like, six bottles of WHITE WINE in my elitist wine fridge, and only ONE bottle of red. Have Hillary Clinton supporters been in my house or something?

  15. chaseychasem says at 7:44 pm, August 26th, 2008

    wheelie: giggle. yeah, that was a terrible pun, but at least the guy was a looker.

  16. loquaciousmusic says at 7:44 pm, August 26th, 2008

    ALSO, what time do the cankles start speaking? Because there’s a How Clean Is Your House? rerun on my DVR that I really want to watch.

  17. kellygrrrl says at 7:48 pm, August 26th, 2008

    I think she looks HAWT!!!!
    I want to see her in a cage match with DiFi

  18. smellyal8r says at 7:56 pm, August 26th, 2008

    loquaciousmusic: First, there will be a pantsuit parade followed by a PUMA re-enactment of the DC Credentials Committee meeting with narration by Harold Ickes. Then, a tribute to HRC’s hairstyles over the years and…wait for it…a video. Your choice. DVR or this?

  19. loudmouthredhead says at 8:05 pm, August 26th, 2008

    Sara, the clapping guy was her effeminate stylist.
    “She’s my MATH-TER-PEETH”

  20. KittyKatMan says at 8:05 pm, August 26th, 2008

    SILF!!

  21. The Incomparable Tiny Valdez says at 8:09 pm, August 26th, 2008

    Harold Ickes. Best Named Man Evah.

  22. Neilist says at 8:11 pm, August 26th, 2008

    Barbara Boxer.

    A whore when she worked for the Marin County Board of Supervisors.

    A whore when she was elected to the House. (I know. I was at the campaign headquarters party.)

    A whore today, in the United States Senate.

    Some things NEVER change.

  23. loudmouthredhead says at 8:14 pm, August 26th, 2008

    The Incomparable Tiny Valdez: Especially since it’s pronounced like “Icky”, tee hee.

  24. loquaciousmusic says at 8:18 pm, August 26th, 2008

    Neilist: Well, then, I guess the answer to the question “What has Barbara Boxer done to her hair?” is “Shaved.”

  25. Not_So_Much says at 8:25 pm, August 26th, 2008

    Looks the same to me — just browned and fluffed. I kind of liked her better with the gray though. Made her look like more of a badass in committee.

    Neilist: You say that like you know of some politician who isn’t a whore?? Do share!

    As a Cali person, I like the Boxer better than that Mukasey-approving skank-ho DiFi…

  26. catsonmars says at 8:54 pm, August 26th, 2008

    Man, now that’s a SILF

  27. Oscar Folsom Cleveland says at 9:01 pm, August 26th, 2008
  28. Oscar Folsom Cleveland says at 9:05 pm, August 26th, 2008

    smellyal8r: ka-ching!

    For this I would take down my Kathleen Sibelius pin up, posed naked in the grasses and steady winds of the Kansas plains.

    Very, very plains.

  29. Oscar Folsom Cleveland says at 9:09 pm, August 26th, 2008

    Neilist: ouch.

  30. Oscar Folsom Cleveland says at 9:10 pm, August 26th, 2008

    Not_So_Much: Do we have a Cali quorum in da house? So far, two for Boxer and two against Butch DiFi….how about Jer Brown 4 Guv again?

  31. The 3-Legged Man says at 9:12 pm, August 26th, 2008

    If she gets any hotter I’ll suffer a prolapsed prostate. (Memo to self: Order a case of oysters for the Sarah Palin speech at the RNC….. )

  32. mothermaven says at 9:15 pm, August 26th, 2008

    Neilist: So are you telling me that the only way to get out of the backwater that is Marin politics you have to be a whore?

  33. mothermaven says at 9:16 pm, August 26th, 2008

    Btw, Meredith Viera aside I think that her hairstyle is very flattering.

  34. Aurelio says at 1:10 am, August 27th, 2008

    That picture of Barbara Boxer is from 2006. http://wonkette.com/assets/resources/2006/11/winawards_021.jpg
    Sara, you are a little slow to notice things, huh? Just sayin’.

  35. I’d slap her onto the list of “Senator’s I’d Do.” Jim Webb, you just got bumped down a slot.
