the first came in february of 2012 when nancy pelosi invited 30-year-old georgetown law student sandor flock to testify on capitol hill about why taxpayers should foot the bill for contraception. at the time difference and the media she was portrayed as a young woman in her early 20s. that was not true. she had been well into her adult years for a decade before making her statements on capitol hill. my office is in roslyn which is right across the river from georgetown university where sandra went to law school. after listening to her testimony i looked across the river in disbelief and just thought you know how is it at my age which was 23 at the time of the testimony as a young professional working hard to pay my own bills this 30-year-old woman wants me as a taxpayer to pay for anything other than my own medical bills and needs than anything else i should be having in my life. i was in disbelief. i couldn't believe why wasn't that $9 a month that big of a deal for a strong independent woman to come up with. you know the answer to this was that the left obviously likes to a poll peop

georgetown waterfront for you there, and right now, lots of clouds in place, 79 degrees at reagan national the dewpoint is 54, so i think the reason that you were noticing that humidity is because it hasn't been too warm today. if it were 90 degrees with a dewpoint of 54, it would feel kind of dry out there. winds out of the east at 8 miles per hour. in our weather headlines, we're going to still see those clouds, both tonight and tomorrow. not much of a change in the immediate metro area. you're not going to notice a difference in the weather pattern tomorrow. a shower is possible tomorrow, but most of us will stay dry and even if you do get a shower, it will be short-lived. the rain will be surrounding the metro area, both to the west and to the east. you'll see that on 9 future cast. but heading into the work week, it will turn both warmer and also more humid. current temperatures, 77 in leesburg and frederick. 75 in martinsburg, 79 in manassas. not very often that we see 70s on the map this late in the day. on satellite and radar, you can see showers approaching, couple pockets of heav
