Jim Sensenbrenner, a Republican Congressman from Wisconsin, has drawn some attention to himself after FishbowlDC reported an overheard phone conversation at Reagan International Airport.
A “Democratic operative” reportedly heard the “very loud” conversation between Sensenbrenner and someone on his staff about comments that the representative had made at a church event three weeks ago. After a woman at the event praised the first lady in conversation with him, Sensenbrenner told the staff member that he responded that Michelle Obama “lectures us on eating right while she has a large posterior herself.” When FishbowlDC writer Betsy Rothstein contacted Sensenbrenner’s office for comment, a spokeswoman for the congressman said that he would be calling the First Lady’s office to apologize, but refused to answer Rothstein’s query as to whether or not Rep. Sensenbrenner knows that he himself has a “large posterior.”
