Heather Wilson - You'll Win a No Expenses Paid Trip to Retirement!
After the citizens of New Mexico vote you out of the office you have so poorly held. In the post-Foley environment out there, NM voters are probably going to take a 2nd look at Wilson who while serving as the Secretary of the New Mexico Children, Youth and Families Department, managed to "lose" a file in that department that outlined the accusations of a 16-year-old boy who accused Wilson's husband of "innapropriate contact" - well the hubby was never charged and the file "disappeared" while Wilson was in charge of the dept. Wilson at first denied doing anything, then finally admitted her role in the file's disappearance. Where to next? Of course, off to Congress where she spent 3 years on the Congressional Page Board. And now? She's on Foley's Mission & Exploited Children's caucus.

she's very disappointing, becuase she is an Air Force Academy grad, Rhodes Scholar and Ph.D in International Relations. She should know better at least in her positions on foreign affairs...but it looks as if she's been to the same GOP Hack School as all the rest of them. A pity.
