Does a person’s appearance change with their politics? Sometimes it seems that people wear their beliefs on their sleeves.
Some members of Congress go out of their way to make themselves noticeable, like Rep. Frederica Wilson in her colorful hats, or Sen. Corey Booker with his impassioned Spartacus-inspired soliloquies.
