Sen. Menendez tells Lautenberg's widow: 'Gaga couldn't lift a finger to you'

Well, that’s comforting.

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.

Because that’s just the sort of thing that will ease the burden of a grieving widow. Or something.
