D.C. Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton is no exception. The Democratic non-voting representative for the District of Columbia told MyFoxDC.com that Congress should go "straight to hell" for trying to meddle in D.C. affairs. Norton was referring to a provision in the stopgap budget bill House Republicans are pushing that would ban federal and local taxpayer dollars in the District of Columbia from being used to pay for abortions. "We are absolutely outraged. This is the functional equivalent of bombing innocent civilians,"

Is that your new slogan, Nachum?
;^)
And, much preferable at that.
Awwwwwww! Poor Eleanor Holmes Norton. She so wants to be a representative. But alas, only a non-voting delegate.
The “government” of D.C. should be abolished, and its’ functions returned to the appropriate House and Senate committees.

Well, it seems so for this guy-

Well, if DOD funding for the remainder of FY 11 is part of the ONE week extension, this removes a lot of leverage the Dems and Obama now have in pushing their agenda.
IMO, this makes the progressives more inclined to exercise their "Sampson Option" now and attempt to blame the GOP and Tea Party. Even a blind person can see this coming. Life in America is going to get even more interesting ...
Hear! Hear! And I live in the district. It is a group of folks not fit for self-government.
That’s who I was thinking of when I saw you post that! LOL!
“Equivalent to bombing innocent civilians!!!”
Now that’s unbelievable, even for a black Democrat!!!
I guess she has a problem with the Constitution, or she's very stupid. Either way, she should be charged with and tried for sedition.

In this casae, my money's on b.).
Is she trying to usurp Helen Thomas’s title? Geesh, that is one ugly little toad.
She has no mind to shut down. She is a reflection of her constituents who are some of the dumbest people on the planet - DC residents.
Eleanor: Don’t get to close there man. You got the mange?
Eric: No Dear, just a close hair cut.
I think it’s high time that residents of DC could vote for US congress as if they lived in Maryland. Enough of this non-voting delegate crap.
There’s something ironic about having a black woman use such hatred and vitriol to defend a government policy whose primary function in this country is to be a mechanism for reducing the black population.
An easier solution might be to reduce the size of the District of Columbia so it only includes government buildings -- and cede the rest back to Maryland.
She does have a problem with Constitution.
And she is also stupid!
Just listen to the speeches (if you can stand to waste the time) of members of the "Congressional Black Caucus" when they have the floor. They're sound like a gaggle of blithering idiots and morons.
