And he's still working for her until his case works through the court system, at $131,000+ a year. Thanks for that help there Congresswoman Foxx and she wants to help sponsor the Balanced Budget Amendment and hated that the debt ceiling was raised and hasn't helped create many new jobs here at home......We're so lucky to have her here in the 5th....NOT REALLY!!!!!

1. Poor Viginia can sympathize with him

People are always accusing her of being drunk too, but it turns out she's just a moron.

[monmouth]

2. What part did she play in his getting a DUI??? She didn't pour the

drinks or forcefeed him...Heaven knows I'm no fan of hers but one thing has nothing to do with the other. As to his still working for her..? Innocent until proven guilty..

3. Think for a minute.

How much alcohol would you consume if you worked for a nutcase like Foxx?

He should claim being drunk as an occupational requirement.

5. Foxx is guilty all right. She votes against the interests of Americans over and over. nt

8. Don't use such a broad brush, please

I assume you live in NC by your avatar... there ARE Democrats and liberals in Madame Foxx's district. Watauga County was one of only three western mountain counties that was carried by Obama. We know what we're up against, though, in this district. Calling us all stupid doesn't help.

I'm 5th District and have suffered for years since the 5th changed from Dem to Repuke in the early 80s...It's been very, very painful.
