NEW HAMPSHIRE: GOP Pol Says US House Rep Is Uglier Than A Drag Queen

GOP New Hampshire state Rep. Steve Vaillancourt has written a bizarre attack on the appearance of Rep. Ann McLane Kuster (D-NH), saying that she is uglier than a drag queen.

Let's be honest. Does anyone not believe that Congressman Annie Kuster is as ugly as sin? And I hope I haven't offended sin. If looks really matter and if this race is at all close, give a decided edge to Marilinda Garcia. How ugly is Annie Kuster? Again avert your eyes if you don't want to hear it, but I actually thought of Annie Kuster last weekend when I was in Montreal. Not far from the Second Cup Coffee Shop I at which I was sipping and writing is a bar called Mados. It's on the section of St. Catherine Street which is blocked off for pedestrians only in the summer; it's near the Jacques Cartier Bridge. Thus, tens of thousands of Montrealers and visitors walk by Mados on their way to the fireworks displays on summer nights. On almost any given night, standing for all to see in front of Mados is a rather attractive drag queen. People stop to pose for pictures with this Mado drag queen; other drag queens gather round because, you see, Mados is a drag queen bar...not that there's anything wrong with that. Long live Victor Victoria; long live La Cage Aux Folles. By now you probably know why I think of Annie Kuster whenever I walk by Mados; sad to say, but the drag queens are more atrractive than Annie Kuster....not that there's anything wrong with that.

Garcia, the GOP nominee to unseat Kuster, has denounced Vaillancourt.
