Gillibrand's clueless cohorts

David McCumber Hearst Washington Bureau

Washington

One man told Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., she was "even pretty when you're fat." Another encouraged her workouts, saying, "You wouldn't want to get porky." Yet another urged her not to overdo her postpartum weight loss, squeezing her belly and saying, "I like my girls chubby."

Who were these Neanderthals?

They were among the New York Democrat's colleagues in the House and Senate.
