Sheila Jackson Lee

She actually looks surprised that for once she's not the ugliest in the group.

I don’t care about the opinion of a former Fed. judge who solicited bribes and lied at his own trial about it.

I suspect fisticuffs in the House will be next, a la 3rd world countries. And the Dems will figure out a way to blame GWB for the degradation of our culture.

IDIOT Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas) needs to be the first person sent to Mars, so she can find the American Flag she asked the Pathfinder about.
Remember when she asked
