Louise Slaughter (D-Fairport) was my Congresswoman while I was growing up. For the 9 years I lived in her district, I don't remember her doing jack shit, except for getting more "soft money" than any other member of the House from NYS. I actually worked for her opponent in 1992 getting out the youth vote (he went on to become an NY Supreme Court Judge), but she still kicked his ass backed by the Dem money machine.

And wow! She actually popped up on the Congressional radar today:

Rep. Louise Slaughter, D-N.Y., looking across the House floor to the Republicans, said, "The lesson we have today is you have the power and you break the rules and you can change them."
