Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) mocking Rep. Blake Farenthold (R-TX) [View all]

Hot mic catches Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) mocking Rep. Blake Farenthold, R-Texas:
'He's so unattractive it's unbelievable'

Collins was ... snagged making unflattering remarks about Rep. Blake Farenthold, R-Texas, a day after he blamed "some female senators from the Northeast" for blocking health care legislation.

He said he wished he could challenge them to a duel "Aaron Burr-style."

"Did you see the one who challenged me to a duel?" Collins asks.

"I know," Reed replies. "Trust me. Do you know why he challenged you to a duel? 'Cause you could beat the s--- out of him."

Collins continues, "I don't mean to be unkind but he's so unattractive it's unbelievable."

Collins then mentions a widely circulated picture of Farenthold wearing baby blue pajamas with yellow ducks on them
as he poses in the photo with a big grin next to a scantily clad young woman.
