The late Sen. Frank Lautenberg was reportedly a huge Lady Gaga fan:
CC @Politifact RT @KateNocera: Menendez talking now how Lautenberg went to a Lady Gaga concert this year – "his favorite singer"

Menendez also recounted Lautenberg's love of Lady Gaga's music. #NJSen

So, naturally, at this morning’s funeral, Sen. Bob Menendez thought it would be nice to compare the singer to Lautenberg’s widow, Bonnie.

Huh? RT @jeneps: Sen. Menendez to Lautenberg's wife Bonnie: "Even Lady Gaga couldn't lift a finger to you"

Senator Menendez just told Lautenberg's widow that "Even Lady Gaga couldn’t lift a finger to you." I don't know what that means.
