In this morning's Washington Post, Rachel Weiner on Speaker John Boehner's dedication to Catholic schools in the District. DC's non-voting representative to Congress, Eleanor Holmes Norton, makes one of the dumber comments, saying, "I can understand his devotion to Catholic schools, but the point here ought to be what is in the best interest of the District's children."
