Rep. Louise Slaughter dies at 88
The Hill ^ | March 16, 2018 | REBECCA SAVRANSKY

Rep. Louise Slaughter (D-N.Y.), the top Democrat on the House Rules Committee, has died at age 88, her office announced Thursday.

“To have met Louise Slaughter is to have known a force of nature. She was a relentless advocate for Western New York whose visionary leadership brought infrastructure upgrades, technology and research investments, and two federal manufacturing institutes to Rochester that will transform the local economy for generations to come," Liam Fitzsimmons, chief of staff, said in a statement.

Slaughter had been hospitalized after suffering a concussion in her home, her office said earlier this week.

There are very few people I will openly hate on, on an obituary thread. Ted Kennedy is one. John McCain will be another.

Because of that, all I can honestly say here, is:

The RNC can put money into this election and prove that the Republicans can win traditionally Democratic seats.

But do they want to? My impression is the RNC would be just fine with the Democrats running Congress.

That was exactly the incident I recalled when I read the headline of this article. Out of decorum for the departed I will not say anything further (’cause it wouldn’t be nice).

Contrary to popular belief, some people actually look better when they don’t smile.
“Better” = Less repulsive.

Is she the congress critter who spoke of her constituents during the 0-care debacle? An unknown female had written of the need to wear her deceased sister’s dentures as she could not afford her own.

“Slaughter had been hospitalized after suffering a concussion in her home, her office said earlier this week.”

She suffered a concussion ? That’s what happens when a Dem has a thought.

This dirtbag wished harm to me and my family.

She also said that by killing the National Endowment for the Arts that people were killing women.

Whatever, I hope she does the worms better than she did the humans.

oh8eleven :" She’s been my congress critter for over 20 years.
I despised her for her Leftest policies ... but I’ll still say a prayer for her. RIP."

She had one of the most "gerrymandered" districts in order to keep her enthroned; check a map of her district.
Yet, she had virtually no legislative legacy; only partisan politics that assured her reelection.
It was known that she intended to die "in office"
Her initial candidacy location was selected by, then Dem. party chair, " Tip O'Neil"

Hopefully she’s paving the way for Ruth ‘Shovel Ready’ Ginsberg. ;)
