Fox News Talker Runs for Al Franken's Senate Seat

[MineralMan]

Here's Karin Housley, the Republican candidate for Al Franken's former Senate seat:



Doesn't she look just like every female Fox News person? Talks like them, too. Dimples, fixed smile that shows her veneers, and all, she says nothing but GOP talking points in her campaign appearances. Tina Smith, the Democratic candidate, presents herself much better and actually includes substance in her campaign pitches.

Karin Housley isn't really a Fox News personality. She just looks like one. Karin will appeal to the Trumpeter men, of course, because she resembles their favorite Fox newsmodel. Beyond that, though, I don't see her appeal to people who are actually looking for a Senator.

1. Who knew?

She's from Faux and she's a blonde.

[MineralMan]

2. She's not actually from Fox News.

State legislator.

[lpbk2713]

3. Thanks for the clarification.

I don't keep up with the Faux minions.

[MineralMan]

6. It's just that she looks just like a Fox News woman.

That's why she is running. She, and her idiot advisers think that's enough to get her into the US Senate. Well, in Minnesota, we're smarter than that. We're going to elect Tina Smith.

4. I Know It's Not A Statewide Seat

But at least you don't have a full on Nazi running for congress like here in Illinois, about 30 miles north of where i am right now.

[MineralMan]

7. That's true, thank goodness.

We do have a right-wing radio talk show host who is currently a House representative. He's running again. We're hoping to show him the door, too.

5. I would never vote for her

I detest bangs. Bangs are for 4 year old girls. This woman is using her bangs to cover up the fact that she is getting a bit long in the tooth.

There, that is the way I imagine a deplorable would analyze her qualifications

[MineralMan]

8. Well, that's why the out of focus official candidate photo, too.

Watching her in person, her smile never changes, and she has an endless supply of one-line GOP talking points ready. I've never heard her say anything original or intelligent. She just gets by on her cheerleader appearance and never-ending smile.

13. Pedro: "I like her bangs." Napoleon: "Yeah, me, too."

From Napoleon Dynamite

Hint: She didn't have any.

9. Housley's Comms Director Is Using This Info

That's right, an actual staffer for a US Senate candidate thinks these comments are worthy of a tweet. If you respond to him, please keep it civil. He seems like a swell guy.

10. Welcome to DU

Thanks for the heads up on the tweet. Is that how you found DU?

12. Re: Welcome to DU

Long time reader, first-time poster. This was certainly worthy of me spending two minutes to create an account though.

[lunasun]

25. Thanks

[MineralMan]

11. Cool beans!

Truly. I posted a polite reply.

[MineralMan]

16. Oops. He deleted the tweet.

Wasn't working out, I guess.

22. And all I posted was

"Thanks for the plug. LOL"

[Brother Buzz]

23. I read that, too. And it was certainly civil in my mind

But it appears your omnipresence spooked him.

[MineralMan]

27. Well, it was kind of him to publicize DU, I thought.

[MineralMan]

18. Now I'm blocked from his feed.

Inconvenient, I guess.

[backtoblue]

19. What did u do now!!!!

[Bettie]

14. She actually looks kind of like

Kellyanne Conway...poor thing.

[Yavin4]

17. They all come from the same 3D printer. n/t

[Bettie]

30. Do they print them at Fox

or do they come from a factory in China?

[Bettie]

31. Also: Sara H. Sanders...

is she a prototype? Or is she actually human?

[Yavin4]

33. She was the beta test. n/t

[Yavin4]

32. Factory was here, but re-located to China where the toxic waste could be cheaply disposed of.

Pesky EPA laws made the process more expensive and cut into profits.

[OnDoutside]

15. Jake, why does your candidate want to take away people's

healthcare ? How could someone be so evil ? How could you be so evil in supporting such an evil person ? Conscience much ?

Thanks

26. Stepford wife.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

28. I'm more concerned about the assinine positions the Rethug Nazi stands for, than what she looks like

[MineralMan]

29. Well, yes.

But she's using her looks to get votes. She never says anything of substance. Just talking mountains bite phrases. She's not running on policies at all.
