Too bad the astronauts left it on Mars when they planted the flag there!

Very nice.

It ought to be a law that you can’t use SJ-L’s name in a sentence without mentioning Mars.

“She is proof that we are well on our way to Idiocracy.”

The movie “Idiocracy” didn’t make a lot of money, but neither did the book 1984 when it was first published.

There is some scientific study recently out that posits that humanity is already in serious decline and has been for hundreds, possibly thousands, of years.

I’m not really certain that Ms.Jackson Lee can grasp the concept of a number beyond three, much less, a trillion.

Calling her stupid is calling the whole Congressional Black Caucus stupid.

Then consider me guilty as charged.

[psjones]

Lanny Davis yesterday claimed Clinton had a 1 trillion dollar surplus. Dont know what it was back then, but i imagine quite a bit of that was more like a projected surplus for x number of years.

We grow everything bigger in Texas, including our moon bats.

Excuse me, but as a native Texan, I take EXTREME offense at your assertion! Congress WoMAN Sheila Jackson Lee is a born and raised New Yorker!

The bigger, better moon bats from Texas just vote for her!

Calling her stupid is calling the whole Congressional Black Caucus stupid....and the fallacy in that is...?

By definition, only the mentally deficient would organize a shamelessly racist political caucus at the highest level of a Constitutional Representative Republic.

...and be allowed to do so.

She is an economic illiterate and Obama is no better

Thanks for clearing that up brother. While I am sure its illegal, any job applicants from other states should have their voting records checked, no jobs for yankee carpetbaggers. We have enough to deal with the justice dept as it is.

[Bullish]

People like her don’t need facts.... facts just get in the way.

I sure hope she’s on a fried food diet.

[Elle Bee]

it's a terrible thing to live up to one's own sterotype

[Bullish]

Calling her stupid is calling the whole Congressional Black Caucus stupid.

How redundant.

[pankot]

Recently saw that movie. You’re right!

[Vendome]

Someone please get this poor woman her meds....

[Secret Agent Man]

perhaps in her hometown of “imaginationland”....

[itsahoot]

no jobs for yankee carpetbaggers.

Where was GW from?

[Iron Munro]

She’s right there in the book as an example for

“Dumb as a sack of hammers.”

[Starstruck]

Yeah Shelia, We were rolling in it then like we’re rolling in it now and “it” ain’t money.

[ballplayer]

We left The Trillions in Surplus in a Lock Box Next to the American Flag that our Astronauts planted on Mars so those Dastardly Republicans would not Spend it.

[GP100]

The problems is stupid people hear this and it becomes’ their’ facts.

Better not question her otherwise you risk being labelled a rac
