Wait wait…not only is there a DEMOCRATIC congressperson from South Dakota, but she’s cute?

Wait wait…not only is there a DEMOCRATIC congressperson from South Dakota, but she’s cute, too?

MrAgro July 24, 2008 at 3:17 pm

I’ll get the Internets right one day.

AfghanVet July 24, 2008 at 3:17 pm

I would impregnate that! Sorry, had to be said.

[re=43400]MrAgro[/re]: I know right, most female democratic reps look like deformed man-beasts.

Serolf Divad July 24, 2008 at 3:18 pm

Best headline ever!

ChernobylSoup July 24, 2008 at 3:21 pm

No

MrAgro July 24, 2008 at 3:22 pm

[re=43404]shortsshortsshorts[/re]: For some girls it’s either be a Democrat in the House or a high school gym teacher.

itgetter July 24, 2008 at 3:23 pm

Wait, what is that on her lapel? What strange roundish flag is she sporting?! Curse you Stephanie Herseth Sandlin, you adorable [XENOPHOBIC EPITHET]!

magic titty July 24, 2008 at 3:24 pm

she looks sorta sassy. but can she go get her hair did? i know she’s from one of those states no one remembers until a headline says south dakota, but still. she looks like steve nash. you can do better, herseth.

Dr. Spaceman July 24, 2008 at 3:24 pm

[re=43412]ChernobylSoup[/re]: You don’t know what’s good.

freakishlystrong July 24, 2008 at 3:25 pm

Well, naturally it will be a human baby, she’s a DEMOCRAT people!

jagorev July 24, 2008 at 3:25 pm

I’d hit it with the force of ten thousand Bob Novaks driving Corvettes.

demtard July 24, 2008 at 3:25 pm

If the child is human then I guess it’s pretty much safe to say that Max Sandlin isn’t a Republican… Though I guess the fact that Stephanie is a woman also pretty much guarantees that Max isn’t a Republican.

itgetter July 24, 2008 at 3:28 pm

[re=43421]jagorev[/re]: And then you’d claim you had no idea you hit that.

Vewol Mevemont July 24, 2008 at 3:28 pm

[re=43400]MrAgro[/re]: I’m suprised that there are any people at all in South Dakota, let alone cute female Democrats.

FunkyPalmettoBug July 24, 2008 at 3:28 pm

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO….TURN BACK THE WORLD….

jagorev July 24, 2008 at 3:30 pm

Wait, doesn’t the Democrat-baby have to go to madrassa first for a few years and then work an internship at a Communist law firm before it can be elected to Congress? How else is it going to learn to hate America, except maybe at Nancy Pelosi’s teat?

Tawmn July 24, 2008 at 3:30 pm

Wow. Biker babes are cuter that I seem to recall.

contains_hot_liquid July 24, 2008 at 3:31 pm

I would like to also support the spectacularity of the headline.

Larry McAwful July 24, 2008 at 3:32 pm

[re=43399]MrAgro[/re]: I didn’t realize this site used the Joe McCarthy/Fox News epithet for Democratic members of Congress. How disappointing. I usually have more fun when reading Wonkette.

SayItWithWookies July 24, 2008 at 3:34 pm

Why is she forgoing a wonderful opportunity to exercise her right to have an abortion?

Larry McAwful July 24, 2008 at 3:37 pm

[re=43442]SayItWithWookies[/re]: Dunno. I guess she’s pro-choice instead of pro-abortion.

WagTehGod July 24, 2008 at 3:38 pm

It’s Barack’s baby. Immaculate conception!

georgia_peach July 24, 2008 at 3:49 pm

[re=43421]jagorev[/re]: HA! Win.

[re=43446]WagTehGod[/re]: Um, clearly it’s another John Edwards love child (almost wrote “John McCain”…shudder)

AxmxZ July 24, 2008 at 3:50 pm

Looks like Herseth did not keep herseth to Herseth.

SayItWithWookies July 24, 2008 at 3:50 pm

[re=43444]Larry McAwful[/re]: That’s exactly the kind of slippery slope we have to watch out for.

Andropov July 24, 2008 at 3:51 pm

“Do you have anything to add, Representative MILF?”

Larry McAwful July 24, 2008 at 4:04 pm

[re=43478]SayItWithWookies[/re]: Well, Herseth’s already lost to the pro-choice legions. How would you propose that others stand by your passionate support for abortion?

teh_heysoos July 24, 2008 at 4:04 pm

I’d staff her…

SayItWithWookies July 24, 2008 at 4:22 pm

[re=43504]Larry McAwful[/re]: Some sort of once-a-trimester abortion party would be good.

BadNewsJack July 24, 2008 at 4:32 pm

She can impregnate me anytime………wait a minute…….. nah, I said it right.

Larry McAwful July 24, 2008 at 4:33 pm

[re=43536]SayItWithWookies[/re]: It’s good to stick to your guns. There’s no room for waffling here. We’re talking about taking lives; there should be no choice to be had. Once a trimester should make sure we get ‘em.

BadNewsJack July 24, 2008 at 4:33 pm

heyzeus July 24, 2008 at 4:35 pm

How is it possible there was no Edwards joke in the story?

Here are two awesome pictures of the lovely Mrs. Sandlin:

BadNewsJack July 24, 2008 at 4:44 pm

I’d caucus her.

I’d go South of her Dakota anytime.

I’d climb on her Mount Rushmore.

I could go on forever, but I cant.

jagorev July 24, 2008 at 4:52 pm

[re=43573]BadNewsJack[/re]: Here, let me try -

Filibuster? I barely knew ‘er!
I’d move her cloture
I’d introduce her to my minority whip.

Mr. Herpes July 24, 2008 at 4:55 pm

Forget Barry. STEPHANIE FOR PREZ! STEPHANIE FOR PREZ! Okay, so I’m very shallow.

Tawmn July 24, 2008 at 4:56 pm

[re=43593]jagorev[/re]: I’d show her my platform plank and have her taxin’ and spendin’ like a new deal democrat!

masterdebater July 24, 2008 at 4:59 pm

[re=43403]AfghanVet[/re]: Hard to believe it wasn’t the first comment.

masterdebater July 24, 2008 at 5:07 pm

[re=43404]shortsshortsshorts[/re]: Really? I was about to comment that on the positive side, at least the democratic women don’t have to shave around their adams apples, but I confess I haven’t spent any face time with a lot of them. If you want a real cute one, you have to find yourself a socialist babe, maybe even a commie. They cause global warming…in my pants.

SayItWithWookies July 24, 2008 at 5:11 pm

[re=43557]heyzeus[/re]: She rides a horse! Sorry Kitty, you’ve been replaced.

heyzeus July 24, 2008 at 5:24 pm

Not only does she ride horses, but she lets creepy old guys with terrible teeth cup her
(no doubt luscious) ass during photo-ops.

Also, I’d let her cosponsor my bill.

PortlandSmartAss July 24, 2008 at 5:28 pm

So what’s with the pin on her jacket? It’s clearly not a flag pin … traitor!

Neilist July 24, 2008 at 5:33 pm

What is the correct acronym, anyway?

Is it MOCILF (Member of Congress I’d Like To Fuck)?

CPILF (CongressPerson Id’ Like To . . . )?

RILF (Representative I’d Like To . . . )?

What? Help me out here!

BadNewsJack July 24, 2008 at 5:34 pm

I’d appoint her as my chief of staff.
She can raise my flag anyday.
She could pull my lever.
she can over-ride my veto.

What I’m trying to say is, I’d hit it.

jagorev July 24, 2008 at 5:40 pm

I’d let her chair my sub-committee.
I’d lobby her hard and long.
I’d let her be sworn with her hand on my penis.

You get the general idea.

Lazy Media July 24, 2008 at 5:55 pm

[re=43417]itgetter[/re]: That’s a pledge pin.

BadNewsJack July 24, 2008 at 5:57 pm

I’d be the chief Justice of her Supreme Cunt.
I’d like to appropriate her.
I’d like to have her in the oral office.

This is fun!!! :)

masterdebater July 24, 2008 at 5:58 pm

I’d let her increase my GDP.
She could fix my agenda.
Lobby this, bitch!

Like that?

Lazy Media July 24, 2008 at 5:58 pm

She’s really…normal looking. And pleasant in appearance. Definitely a Dem.

Cape Clod July 24, 2008 at 6:08 pm

I believe we have a possible Democratic VP candidate.

Lincoln' July 24, 2008 at 6:12 pm

You all make me proud to be from her state. And let me assure you all that her haircut has gotten a lot better. And also, Max is a democrat so its all good. the child will be fully human.

thefrontpage July 24, 2008 at 6:22 pm

Herseth’s pretty damn cute in that picture. Please run more Herseth pictures!

thefrontpage July 24, 2008 at 6:25 pm

She is way too cute to be in Congress. Way to go, South Dakota!

KevoTron July 24, 2008 at 6:27 pm

I’d subpenis that.
She can be on my ways and means committee.
I’d stick my dick in her ass.

Shit! I did it wrong.

BadNewsJack July 24, 2008 at 6:37 pm

[re=43730]KevoTron[/re]: no words can express my disappointment and joy.

masterdebater July 24, 2008 at 6:39 pm

[re=43730]KevoTron[/re]: Winner!

nbawriter July 24, 2008 at 6:59 pm

I’d show her Hot Springs.
She’d nickname me Rapid City.

The Lucky Republican July 24, 2008 at 7:28 pm

I’d let her widen my stance.
I’d let her strap a diaper on me.
I’d let her catch me with another dude on her bed.

Senator Ted Stevens July 24, 2008 at 11:25 pm

I’d like to have been in a congressional page sex scandal with her

hamletta July 25, 2008 at 12:14 am

[re=43418]magic titty[/re]: Oh, no. She looks adorable. This is a much better cut than she had when she was running.

Must be all that time in my hometown of Sodom & Gomorrah, with all its evil metrosexual gay hairdressers!

Not that she wasn’t adorable then. The Great Orange Satan helped finance her initial run, and the boys went wild!

Foghorn July 25, 2008 at 1:27 am

PortlandSmartAss: It looks like a Member of Congress pin to me. I can’t say for sure since the resolution isn’t so good. Most Members wear them around the Hill. And she is actually cuter in person, believe it or not.
