There should be a law banning old bags from DC !
Dems would loss a load of them! Waters, Palosi, the list is so big!
I think these looney lefties should stage a "bag in" protest. They all get together and chain or tie these the plastics bags over their pussy hat heads, but they need double bag too just in case the first one breaks.
