Olympia Snowe

So Marie-Anne comes home and announces, "I got you a new belt at Wally World to replace that ugly one you're wearing." "But I like the one I wear...it's all broken in and, well, it holds my pants up."

I have never have had the pleasure of meeting Olympia Snowe in person. But, this is what I love about shows like ‘The Daily Show’ we get to see and hear people that we may only know from news stories and sound bites in a more relaxed setting and get to see their personality.

The city where Olympia Snowe grew up and represented as a state lawmaker honored her on Wednesday. The City of Auburn Mayor issued a proclamation declaring Jan 2nd as '"Olympia Snowe Day.' It was Snowe’s final day full day in office.

Fresh of her TV appearance on Parks and Recreation last week, now I hear Olympia Snowe is going to be writing a book.

Maine Senator Olympia Snowe will guest star on the season premiere of 'Parks & Recreation' called 'Ms. Knope Goes to Washington.'

There, she's invited to a cocktail party attended by high-profile politicians, including Snowe and Senators Barbara Boxer & John McCain. Read Mo
