NOT KIDDING! She went POSTAL right after her last debate against Democrat Gary Trauner and Libertarian Thomas Rankin.
The verbal sparring between two candidates for Wyoming's lone U.S. House seat didn't end when the televised debate ended Sunday evening.
Immediately after the lights and cameras shut down, incumbent Republican U.S. Rep. Barbara Cubin walked to Libertarian candidate Thomas Rankin, who had criticized her for receiving contributions from former House Speaker Tom Delay, R-Texas.
"'If you weren't sitting in that chair, I'd slap you across the face,'" Cubin told Rankin, he said Monday.
Rankin had not moved yet after the debate, which included Democrat challenger Gary Trauner and was sponsored by Wyoming Public Television, Wyoming Public Radio and KTWO-TV.
He is disabled with multiple sclerosis and uses an electric wheelchair, he said.
The Cubin campaign did not deny the exchange on Monday.
"He misrepresented her and insulted her integrity during the debate," Cubin spokesman Eric Cullen said, reading from a prepared statement.

CBS has it now, as does TPM and MYDD. Should hit CNN and MSNBC sometime today.
This is going to be THE vehicle for the remainder of this election here in Wyoming. It's going to take a lot for Trauner to beat Cubin in this hotbed of red... but he's closer than anyone thought he could be. It will take a tsunami. Those are caused by earthquakes or huge landslides. I think this might be the earthquake.
