Guess what company Sensenbrenner is heir to?
Kotex. I kid you not. They were talking about that creep today on Ian Masters show on KPFK(Pacifica) and they just happened to mention that he is heir to the sanitary napkin fortune.

No wonder he always looks like he has cramps.

3. No, no, by all means, go ahead. Somehow I find it's poetically just
that Kotex is the family business.

4. Husb told me that.
I thought at first he was kidding.

Apparently it's not something Sensenbrenner likes to discuss... Shhh...

8. Here's what I just Googled:
>
>
The Post noted that Sensenbrenner is "the heir to a paper fortune." It's a little more interesting than that. Sensenbrenner's family money comes from Kotex per Legal Times:

His family fortune derived from his great-grandfather, Frank J. Sensenbrenner, who invented the Kotex feminine hygiene product shortly after World War I, then used the money from that venture to become Kimberly Clark's largest single shareholder and eventually its CEO.

Word on the Hill is that if you really want to piss off Sensenbrenner, call him "Tex." So, henceforth on Americablog, he is "Tex."

so "Tex" it is from now on!

11. I propose a march to his office
Show up at his office with Kotex napkins on our heads and demand an apology.

More importantly, make sure the media is there.

17. No. If he had a Maxi-Pad for a brain, he'd retain something.

23. I have this image now of John Lennon with a Kotex on his head
sigh.

So, should we send Sensen a bottle of Midol?

What can we do for him on those days when he's not feeling "fresh."
