Democrat delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton makes veiled blackmail solicitation

Transcript: This is, uh, Eleanor Norton, Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton. Uh, I noticed that you have given to uh, other colleagues on the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee. I am a, um, Senior Member, a twenty year veteran and am Chair of the Sub-committee on Economic Development, Public Buildings and Emergency Management. 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 .

I was, frankly, uh, uh, surprised to see that we don't have a record, so far as I can tell, of your having given to me despite my uh, long and deep uh, work. In fact, it's been my major work, uh, on the committee and sub-committee it's been essentially in your sector.

I am, I'm simply candidly calling to ask for a contribution. As the senior member of the um, committee and a sub-committee chair, we have (chuckles) obligations to raise, uh funds. And, I think it must have been me who hasn't, frankly, uh, done my homework to ask for a contribution earlier. So I'm trying to make up for it by asking for one now, when we particularly, uh, need, uh contributions, particularly those of us who have the seniority and chairmanships and are in a position to raise the funds.

I'm asking you to give to Citizens for Eleanor Holmes Norton, PO Box 70626, DC, 20024. I'll send you a follow-up note with appreciation for having heard me out. Thanks again.

If she was calling from any government building, such as her office,she is in violation of Federal Law.

What a greedy no good fucking bitch. I would have called her back and told her to get bent. And I love the way the bitch keeps droping her title like anyone should give a shit. Shit like this needs to be voted out of office. And she is shit. Make no mistake. I just wonder why she didn't post this on her official web site, no good bitch.

Another one of Pelosi's and Obammy's dirty, greedy friends. Show her the door -- and the inside of a prison cell. She has a nice sounding voice. Maybe she can teach the other prisoners to speak with eloquence. Funny to hear her beg for $.
