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.

If that is a picture of her, I don’t know what she is worried about, I would bet she has never had to worry about getting pregnant unless it was by artificial insemination.

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.

I remember visiting an AT&T facility many years ago during a February (Soon to be officially renamed). There was a sign proudly boasting the Eleanor Holmes Norton would be there to deliver an important message to all the Honkies. I wouldn't be surprised if attendance and applause were mandatory.

Today, I'm watching the Masters and Exxon has a series of ads promoting their support of "education." (Don't these f@#$%^g people sell petroleum produce?) It looks like Exxon thinks education is by and for schvatzas.

The degree to which American corporations have become ashamed of the mostly white males who run and contribute to their success disgusts me.

These people like her think we don’t know how it really is. The pro-choice crowd gets plenty of funding from private sources, in fact most of it. Somewhere along the line some politican added some federal funding. (probably a RAT) Now if Congresss is thinkng of stopping the fed. funding they scream bloody murder, you’ll kill millions of babies,,blah, blah, blah. Thet see this Fed money as a slush fund they can dip into.

I agree with you 100%. I've seen it too many times.
