I live in her district (which means I don't have a Congressman, I'm the wrong color), and her nickname here is "Queen Sheila". I call her "the Queen of the Nile".
She's from Jamaica Queens, Long Island, by way of Yale. Doesn't that just embody the makings of a great Texas congressman, don't you think?
Ivy League slitherers are always doing that -- migrating out to The Provinces and then weaseling their way into office. Their faculty, I've heard, make a point of putting the idea into their heads before they leave campus. I heard about one West Texas congressman who did that 40-50 years ago .... his faculty advisor murmured something to him about "improving the representation" out in Hick Land. Yeah, right.
sigh....I’m in her district too...still tempted to get my radical neighbor and head over to Tidwell tonight....
