The Democrats keep getting reminded that some of the looniest members of Congress show up to defend the dizzy Brillo-pad fashion-icon from Georgia.
The latest scofflaw to show support is Rep. Eleanor Holmes Norton, who when elected to her non-voting post, was discovered not to have paid income taxes for nearly a decade. Of course, in that respect, she is a perfect representative for a large number of her constituents.
Even Minority Leader Pelosi, who has to suffer a lot of fools in her political family, cannot abide this weird fashion icon with the amazing eye make-up. The Atlanta area was hit so hard by Katrina that this uninvited moron showed up for hearings, embarrassing the grown-up reps in her party who were actually delegated to sit in on the panel.
Hopefully, the House of Representatives will eventually be dislodged of this embarrassment, just as Tom DeLay was edged out by a constituency of responsible voters in Sugarland, TX. Don't know if the Atlanta area is well-endowed with sane voters, however.
"Much have I seen and known; cities of men And manners, climates, councils, governments, ...the fortune of us that are the moon's men doth ebb and flow like the sea, being govern'd, as the sea is, by the moon" [Henry IV, I.ii.31-33] HISTORY NEVER REPEATS ITSELF, BUT IT OFTEN RHYMES "There is a Providence that protects idiots, drunkards, children and the United States of America."
