WASHINGTON -- The District of Columbia's non-voting delegate to the House of Representatives, Eleanor Holmes Norton, had a curious, off-color and frank reaction to Tuesday night's presidential debate.

Norton later followed up with a tweet that misspelled President Obama's name.

But reactions to Norton's initial tweet about Mitt Romney, naturally, were quick ...

I can't believe this tweet happened. But ok, let's roll w/ it... RT @EleanorNorton Mitt shot his whole wad in the first debate.

@EleanorNorton and you wonder why people don't take your position seriously? What a disgrace you are.
