When the going gets tough, Democrat Congresswomen go shopping

Everyone reacts to a crisis differently. When the budget battle hit Capitol Hill, Rep. Corrine Brown, a Florida Democrat, found her own unique way to cope and was kind enough to share it with other members of the Congressional Black Caucus.

Good God a'mighty, all the retail therapy in the world is not going to help Rep. Corrine Brown

TheHill.com reports Brown’s retail therapy:

According to an email from Brown’s scheduler titled, “Outing with Congresswoman Corrine Brown,” staff member Cathy Gass invited Brown’s fellow female Congressional Black Caucus members to join the lawmaker at a boutique in Crystal City, Va. on Wednesday afternoon.

According to the email, which was addressed to “CBC Schedulers,” Brown “would like to invite the woman [sic] CBC Members to go shopping with her at Daniel’s Boutique this afternoon after votes.

Please let me know if your Member is interested and I will inform the Congresswoman.”



Gass also suggests that for members who “would like to share [their] dress size, the boutique can pull some items for them to have available once they arrive.”



For those unfamiliar with the ultra high-end service, pulling clothes that a client might like before they arrive is better known as personal shopping.



According to the shop’s website, Daniel’s Boutique was founded in 1988 and “specializes in wardrobe consulting and custom tailoring.”



A visit to the boutique’s website revealed plenty of the skirt and jacket combinations popular with lawmakers.

    • I dunno -- while it deals effectively with the nightmare that is her face, it does nothing about the nightmare that is her body.

      In fact, the only thing that she could put on that would make the nightmare of her political beliefs and personality palatable would be distance -- in time and space.

  • This woman looks so inviting and warm, why are you all being so mean to her?

    wait...wait...wait...the other shoe hasn't hit the floor yet.

    I was having one of those relief moments that just make everything else seem less important far a moment...ahhhhh, better. Now where was I...oh yeah, this hag needs a face transplant!

  • They [probably don't want me to be the personal shopper. I'd head over to the local tent and awning place and "pull" a few numbers in a nice duck fabric that might cover the ugly.

  • That's one big women! I lived in Crystal City once. There is not enough fabric there. She should cut more than just the budget. And that session that the Republicans and Democrats crossed aisles, I bet she didn't have to move.

  • Wow... it must be nice being a Congresswoman. How nice of her to get into that racket early. I guess when the going gets tough, the ugly looking liberals go shopping. How nice for them.

  • Sheesh! Look at that photo... it's Rick James back from the grave and in drag!

    "...She's super freaky, yowwww!"
