I was astonished at the recent editorial published defending Rob Wittman's record in Congress ["The Ball game: Dirt lot," June 21].
This is the first time I have ever heard a newspaper praise a member of Congress for "finding the bathroom."
The defense that Rob Wittman did not serve long enough to be effective is unacceptable. Sorry, but there is no grace period for our elected officials; accountability begins on day one.
I would be more inclined to allow this excuse to slide if I could put my finger on any subsequent accomplishments.
Rep. Wittman has not introduced a single bill this year that would either create jobs for this district or give relief for Virginians who have invested years of labor only to find themselves unemployed.
I'm thrilled he's found the bathroom, but what Virginians really need for him to find are the solutions to create jobs in his district.
