[Norton]: "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."

She EXPLICITLY links her power over appropriations for HOMELAND SECURITY and for the so-called "stimulus" bazillions (which as many of us have pointed out is one of the worst 'Rat slushfund cesspools in American history).

This is certainly a most unethical shakedown, an obvious "pay-to-play" kind of sleaze.... granted, far too much of US politics is greased by this sort of thing at least implicitly, but I wonder how many pols dare to make such brazen linkages between their areas of power and appropriations, the lobbyist's focus, and the *need* for financial contributions???

She certainly violated House ethics rules and probably the law ---- time to focus the bright lights on the Demagogues' culture of CORRUPTION.

My oh my. Another Democrat heard form. Wonder if ABCNBCCBSCNNMSNBC will run with this story tomorrow?

Well DC is not really a state and she’s not really a congressman, she is like a “shadow congressman” I don’t think she even gets a vote, she’s there but not really there, a typical government sort of thing, you know what I mean? So that can be her defense, she’s not really a voting member, not a true member of congress, so how can she have any influence? This is how these people get off, on a technicality (like Bill Clinton was going to invoke something like the Solders and Sailors Act to save himself during the Lewinsky scandal). By the way, when I said she’s a congressman, I meant it (that’s a man, baby).

Thank you Andrew Breitbart. Keep exposing these RATS.

[4yearlurker]

Relax folks. Just an oversight on the honorable Congresswoman's part.

She just misspoke

She didn't know that a voice mail would actually record her words.

A friend came in from out of town.

She a had a flat tire.

If this happened in Maryland, I can see the lobbyist getting prosecuted for illegal wiretapping - like Linda Tripp.

Government is infested with these types of unelected representatives [a.k.a. community organizers]. Their entire job is to contact other people and try to suck money from them. The truly disgusting thing is that the taxpayer winds up paying the tab for this activity somewhere down the line.

It's just another case of government forcing the American People to fund their own destruction. We have GOT to rid ourselves of these parasites.

Push this! Rush, Beck, Hannity, anyone who will investigate it! The cover is gone and the rats are scurrying now. Shine a light and expose, document, and, when we`re back in power, WE WILL PRESECUTE! Think of ALL the “culture of corruption” stuff we`ll have to use for the 2012 election.

Institutionalized Corruption

The CBC's really taking it in the tail.

Wonder who's next...

[henkster]

This is what happens when you combine a life of affirmative-action promotion with an addiction to power. Throw in the Marxist part just for good measure.

Voila! You have created Ms. Norton Holmes.

[Gabrial]

Dang, what a money whore. I am surprised she did not leave a price list.

[ncpatriot]

the District of Columbia should be called the District of Corruption
