[edit] Info about others

A recent change added the criminal history of her late husband. This seems a little off topic and prejudicial. I can't find any reference to the 59 trip paid for by lobbiests either. She has made a large number of trips, but only a fraction of those are paid for by lobbiest or corporations. The rest are by non-profits and political entities. ^[1]

Also, there is quite a lot of information about her predecessor in congress, Louis Stokes. I think an interested reader could follow the link to learn about the Honorable Mr. Stokes. Just my 2c.

[edit] Better Know a District

Is it worth mentioning that she, like other congressmen from The Colbert Report's "Better Know a District" segment, was featured on the Report? Normally I wouldn't find that notable for Daily Show or Report guests, but maybe it would be worthwhile for relatively-unknown congressmen. Anyone else like this idea? --BDD 23:22, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

I think it's a good idea. --waffle iron 00:40, 15 November 2005 (UTC)
