Most people don't recognize their names, but 37 of the most powerful women in Washington united Thursday evening for an event in their honor as the Hill's female chiefs of staffs.

Held at the the Sewall-Belmont House and Museum, which serves as the headquarters of the National Woman's Party, hundreds of women (and some men) fetted the accomplishments of these chiefs of staffs under a tent in the backyard of the historic home on the HIll.

"Women make decisions differently than men," said Women's Campaign Forum CEO Sam Bennett, sounding all Sonia Sotomayor-ish.

Sam Bennett is as far from Sotomayor as she could be Sotomayor worked hard and fought battles to get to where she is today. Siobhan "Sam" Bennett is a thief, a liar, a perpetual candidate, and she also likes to call her Ellen Malcolme. You are NOT ellen Malcolm, Ms. Sam Bennett and you will never win an election in the United States. Sam Bennett should be in jail for stealing from her donors and the government. Women's campaign forum should look into getting a more reputable President
