During a floor speech on Wednesday night, Texas Democratic Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee voiced her opposition to the House Republican lawsuit against President Barack Obama and said that Democrats had never moved to impeach former President George W. Bush when he was in office.
“A historical fact that President Bush pushed this nation into a war that had little to do with apprehending terrorists,” Jackson Lee said. “We did not seek an impeachment of President Bush, because as an executive, he had his authority. President Obama has the authority.”
It's an odd thing for Jackson Lee to say, because it was just six years ago that she helped lead a movement to impeach Bush by co-sponsoring a bill accusing him of high crimes and misdemeanors
“She misspoke,” Jackson Lee’s spokesman Mike McQuerry told Yahoo News on Thursday morning. He declined to elaborate on what she meant to say.

Democrats lie as a matter of course. To be expected, but not tolerated.
She’s a blithering idiot, but her constituents are even more so.
You just broke the code. The media’s love of such people in government is that it makes their job so easy. Democrats in charge is as good as full pay scale welfare for the media. A keyboard or camera version of midnight basketball.
Normally I would agree with you but this is Sheela Jackson Lee. She's not lying. She's just too stupid to remember that she was involved with impeaching Bush.
It’s a continuation of the ‘flag on Mars’ problem.
Gee, another lying, hypocritical Democrat. What a surprise.
They should make it a news story when a Democrat actually tells the truth about something of substance or importance.
No wait. That wouldn't work. They wouldn't have any news stories.

Your typical dishonest DIMocRAT.
Ya think...and you’ve just IDed the problem w/ DC, the electorate.
Certifiably comatose cerebellum in that woman.
She has the same excuse as her savior when he screws the pooch: she was strung out on drugs.
ALL LIES are simply now labeled as “Misspoke”.
Sheila misspeaks about 99% of the time due to being and idiot and a liar.
The stupid is strong with this one.
All the bluster about Texas goes out the window when Sheila Jackson Lee comes into the picture. I just cannot, under any circumstance, come to believe any of the stuff they say about how great Texas is when, Sheila Jackson Lee. Holy smokes the woman is picture of idiocy.
I just knew it was that moron before I read the text.
Progressives only follow one rule....
“RULES ARE FOR SUCKERS”
Democratic Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee...........Nothing more needs to be said. A product of Affirmative Action personified.
