WASHINGTON (CNN) — Obama Girl and Giuliani Girl just got new competition. The new Brownback Girl made "her" debut Wednesday in a Church Lady meets Madonna music video on The Wichita Eagle's Web site. "Cause we are living in a sinful world and I am a Brownback girl," the new Brownback girl sings to the tune of Madonna's "Material Girl." But Brownback Girl is no, well, girl. The star of the video is Bucky Walters, a local hairstylist in Wichita and actor known for playing women. In the video, Walters struts around a church, clad in a black suit, a gray curly wig, gold hoop earrings and knee-high stockings. "Sam loves stem cells, wants gays in jail, isn't that special to me? He'll appoint more right wing judges and overturn Roe V," Walters sings. "Candidates pry, and some just lie, but Sam's just not that way. No way. He would never use religion to win on election day." After seeing videos posted by young women on YouTube for some of the other candidates, the Wichita Eagle's Opinion page staff imagined what their senator's "girl" would look like. They decided to produce the video. "It's a spoof of other candidates' videos, not of Sen. Brownback," opinion editor Phillip Brownlee said. "We're just having some fun. At his expense, perhaps." –CNN Associate Producer Lauren Kornreich Filed under: Sam Brownback
