Above, a selection from the November 13, 1997 Congressional Record. The speaker is Representative Ralph Hall (R-TX) and the subject is, of course, sex slavery in something called the Northern Mariana Islands (apparently we own them?). Like most stirring congressional rhetoric, these words were in response to a
Readers’ Digest article, and were suggested/written by the office of super-lobbyist Jack Abramoff, who, along with li’l ol’ Tom DeLay, was doing a bit of business with said Islands. The gist: the sex slave was
asking for it dressed like that.
