Rep. Virginia Foxx is a remarkable idiot from North Carolina whom our national political system has rewarded with vast power.

Today is disappointing.
She looks like a cross between Dame Edna and the Chicken Lady from Kids in the hall, only less attractive.
It cost her $175 per year and it still took her 7 years to scare up the scratch?
The Jesse Helms wing of the North Carolina Republican party is alive and well.
I thought Virginia was for lovers.
