I love it when Senators try to be cool and mention what they think are ‘cool’ topics. Always good for a laugh.

Well, at least she has HEARD of 50 cent. I’ll bet Mitch has not.

Maybe she is just seeing double.

Slow news day? So what? Not like she called them “That Negro and the Black Boys”.

Let the GOP make hay out of this if they choose. Aren’t there more important things for TPM to be talking about?

LOL to be honest I don’t expect an elderly white woman to know who 50 Cent is and there’s many worse things she could’ve said, like dude in Minnesota who said if you got rid of the NBA the crime rate would go up.

“Aren’t there more important things for TPM to be talking about?”

Well, yes there are. I for one would like to know if Paul Simon and his wife made up or not.

Give her a break, she added, “Am I right about that?”. She could have said 50 cent was a man with a shoe in his mouth from a sweat-shop.

13

At least it is his wife.

14

She was being cheeky.

Seriously? If this is the most embarrassing thing a Democrat has said aloud in the past couple weeks, that’s not so bad.

Is this worthy of an article. Boxer is from the 50’s,
when this term was the standard. Sometimes even
progressives need to lighten up.

It’s hilarious but also kind of adorable just as it is when my mother does it. I honestly love it when our Democratic congressfolk try to be hip and with it like that time when Sherrod Brown was dancing to Jay Z or when John Yarmuth gets all into the music at a black church. They get mad points for putting themselves out there, for trying.

So what. Who cares?.

Actually 50 cent has a backing band as does virtually every ‘solo’ performer.

There very little thats an individual act these days.
