Sheila Jackson Lee Ignores Greta Van Susteren; Says She Does Not Ignore People - Video 8/13/09
Freedom's Lighthouse ^ | August 13, 2009 | BrianinMO

Posted on 08/13/2009 9:33:41 PM PDT by Federalist Patriot

Here is video of Democrat Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee talking to Greta Van Susteren tonight about the controversy over her Town Hall Meeting recently where she actually talked on her cell phone while a woman was seeking to ask her a question.

Lee said she was "not ignoring" the woman, but when Greta pressed her for answers as to why she would do such a thing, Lee constantly filibustered in her answers. Van Susteren had a hard time getting a word in edge-wise, actually proving the point that Sheila Jackson Lee likes to talk but does not care to listen to anyone!

Lee said "the video looked kind of strange." Greta said, "It look bad." . . . . . (Watch Video)

Watched it live - Greta was very feed up and frustrated with SJL

As is typical SJL did herself in with her runny mouth

It was too funny. Lee blathered on and on about being engaged and listening all the while ignoring Greta.

Shelia just kept on talking so that Greta wouldn’t have time to ask her any more embarrassing questions.

She was awful.
“Greta, you tell whats-her-name come to a town hall and I’ll listen to her!” Umm, I believe you blew that chance, you witch. What a pompous jerk.

I’ve never heard SJL give a straight response to the simplest question, only lengthy, evasive non-answers. Sometimes she filibusters with a stream of complete nonsense/verbal diarrhea.

This Houstonian says...you're absolutely right about that!

"Congresswoman Lee, when is your birthday?"

"Well to answer your question let me first tell you that Webster defines "birthday" as the day one is born, as well as the anniversary of the day one is born. I have had many birthdays in my life and I remember when I was a child I wanted a pony but my parents could never afford a pony so I got a bicycle with pink tassles. I remember it like it was yesterday..." and yada yada yada

Doesn’t SJL have some poor slob who could have made that call so she could continue with her Town Hall meeting? What a poor way to run an office if she doesn’t know when to delegate....

The line people should start using is:

"If you're talking OVER me, you're not LISTENING TO ME!

This is a must read about "Queen Sheila" from the Weekly Standard. The best part is when the article describes a fed up Continental Airlines Pilot who threw her purse out of the cockpit window while taxing to the runway.

SJL can't even get the word out..id is dis not dish..but then she thought the Mars mobile could just drive over to the spot where the astronauts planted the flag ( which was on the moon). This woman was not only rude to Tracy but she was rude to Greta as well..Greta should have had the engineer cut her mic.

I made a big mistake when i posted Sheila’s a lezzie.
No, she acts like a fat lezzie but is an EXTREMELY RUDE
individual.
I doubt if she were a citizen participant asking questions
in a town hall meeting and was ignored she would be the first one to start sqwaking and flapping and getting in someone’s face because she was being treated rudely THEN
she would go to the MSM and cry RACISM

Sheila, you are too much, and I saw you on Greta , too.
I hope your constituents in Texas vote you OUT the next time you’re up for re-election. You’re a disgrace.

Shelia just kept on talking

That's a prerequisite to be a dim politician.
It really is. Talk over the opponent so they can't get their point in the conversation.

I can only think of one repub that is equal..B1 Bob Dornan.

We live in an age where “Don’t watch what I DO, listen to what I SAY about myself!” -goes.

So who is running for Congress in Sheila Jackson Lee's District? This is what I found in a quick search:

John Faulk, 2010, Retire Sheila Jackson Lee for Good!!!!

Does anyone know about him?
