My first reaction before listening was that all politicians have to make these calls, but are generally not stupid enough to leave a message, but then I listened to the audio and it does sound like some sort of crass shakedown. Can’t imagine that this is legal.

Actually, I would consider this to be a request for an illegal gratuity...

I’m sure she’ll spin this somehow. It’s so blatant it’s insulting!

Dialing for dollars. The lobbyist would not have released this tape if he or she did not think the Rats would loose out in this election.

Whaaaa?
Doncha know that NOTHING is illegal, or unethical, if Done-While-Democrat, and especially while BLACK DEMOCRAT?

Just ask anyone in the News Rooms at MSNBC, NBC, CBS, ABC, or CNN about this!!

Oh.....but we dare NOT to criticize or investigate her because she has more melanin. That would be racist. /s

Corruption. Extortion. I love it.

And, incredibly, Eleanor Holmes Norton doesn't even need the money to run a campaign. As the representative from D.C., she's appointed! And she has no vote!

Eleanor, ol' girl, life is tough. It's even tougher when you're stupid...

I find it especially amusing that Norton is trolling for bucks when she is not even a full voting member of the House.

(Btw...I wonder if the 2009 DC Voting Rights Act will rear its ugly head again after Nov 2nd? Wouldn’t put it past Pelosi.)

A shakedown for sure...but she obviously needs a teleprompter to reduce the ums.

Speaker Pelosi and her leadership team are putting a lot of pressure on Democrat members to pony up campaign contributions to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.

Redistribution of wealth works in Congressional campaigns just like it does with everybody else.

she details her role overseeing a large economic development project in the District, funded by “stimulus” funds. It would appear that either the lobbyist has an interest in this project, or the Congresswoman thinks he does,

Someone knows the answer to this, or how to find out...if there's a match, Miss Ellie is in deep doo-doo. Unless Pelosi is going to defend her and refuse to start an investigation 40 days from mid-terms?

The real shocker- she brags about the largest economic development project in the country-the Homeland Security Headquarters.
