Corruption. Extortion. I love it.
The old Chicago shake down.
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.
I’m sure she’ll spin this somehow. It’s so blatant it’s insulting!
Racist!!!
/sarc
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!!
Teenagers selling door to door have a better technique and delivery...
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.)
Redistribution of wealth works in Congressional campaigns just like it does with everybody else.

Best regards,
I’m handling the largest economic development project in the United States now, the Homeland Security Compound of three buildings being built on the uh, old St. Elizabeth’s hospital site in the District of Columbia along with uh, fifteen other, uh, sites here for, that are part of the stimulus.
Obama made a big deal about not having lobbyists in his administration - but that doesn’t stop the ‘rats from putting the strongarm on them behind the scene.....
Congresswoman shaking down lobbyist. Isn’t that what they normally do, anyhow?
S.S., D.D.
Maryland “Freak State” PING!
Nancy, you have leak in the DC sector of the swamp.
Oh, never mind, draining the swamp applies only to the foes of Pissoli and friends. EHN, you’re good to go. Keep dialing.
My bad.
Throw her in jail tomorrow. The AG needs to arrest her tomorrow.
If they don’t they are basically, finally, admitting that they are indeed thugs.
Summation:
An idiot managed to get themselves elected to congress and left a political symbiote a voice mail which made its way into the public.
The voicemail said (and I sum up here): I don’t need your money but the Party needs it. Give it to us or you can forget all those favors we did for you and stimulus money you got.
I am not a lawyer. I don’t even play one on TV but I’m reasonably certain that’s some level of crime.
Been nice knowing her, the moron. The second we regain the House she is going to be answering some serious questions from some serious people and if she’s lucky, she’ll only get kicked out of Congress. If not, she’s going to jail.
