http://dailycaller.com/2012/06/28/holmes-norton-blames-nra-for-brian-terrys-murder-fast-and-furiousWashington, D.C., Democratic Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton, who represents the city in Congress, claimed the National Rifle Association is responsible for Border Patrol agent Brian Terry’s murder and Operation Fast and Furious on Thursday, in what appears to be a last-ditch effort to protect Attorney General Eric Holder before he’s voted in contempt of Congress.
“Any doubt that today’s contempt resolution is political was put to rest when the NRA joined in to blow-torch vulnerable Democrats to vote for contempt today,” Norton said on the House floor. “The gun lobby is directly responsible for the gap in federal law that allowed purchases of guns here that were sold in Mexico and ultimately for the tragic death of a border agent. Yet our committee spent no time on the root cause of the tragedy because of a political mandate from the gun lobby.”
It’s unclear if Norton has any evidence whatsoever to back this claim up. Her spokesman did not immediately return The Daily Caller’s request for such evidence.

In another unprecedented stupid diatribe, DC, Delegate Norton provided proof that she's an idiot.
