now that my memory has been jogged by a near thirty year absence from dc, i always thought eleanor holmes norton would have been a great dc politician.
she also ended up in the house as the dc non-voting delegate.
during the decade i was in washington, dc was politically a very corrupt time. it had a long run of corrupt politicians who often catered to upper-middle-class interests who resided in the nw, rather than the "plain" folks from se.
then again, "the hill" would often intercede into most dc affairs that could potentially "embarrass" the president and/or congress that held sway.
to this day, the fact that dc is not the 51st state is a real sham(e).
again, to my mind, marion barry was a fraud.
then again, time has soothed my opinions in matters that i was very involved in a long time ago.
ymmv
be well.
