Most of us at some point has worked for an overbearing and abusive employer.
We all know the type - the loud, overbearing, unreasonable, and obnoxious boss who seems to delight in making your working life miserable.
But what if that person was a member of Congress?
According to an article at The Daily Caller, Texas Democrat Sheila Jackson Lee is just such an employer.
The in-depth seven-part article, entitled Congressional bosses from Hell: Sheila Jackson Lee details the horrors experienced by those who work for the Democrat.
For example, one staffer recounts constantly being called "you stupid m*****f****r."
Jonathon Strong writes:
Another Jackson Lee aide recounts the time her parents came to Washington to visit: “They were really excited to come to the congressional office. They’re small town people, so for them it was a huge deal. They were actually sitting in the main lobby waiting area….[Jackson Lee] came out screaming at me over a scheduling change. Called me a ’stupid idiot. Don’t be a moron, you foolish girl’ and actually did this in front of my parents, of all things.”
One staffer told Strong the Texas Democrat “would always say, ‘What am I a prostitute? Am I your prostitute? You can’t prostitute me.’”
At least one former staffer compared working for Jackson Lee to serving in the Iraq War. According to Strong, she "may be the worst boss in Washington." Another quit working for Jackson Lee after she threw a cell phone at him.

Sheila gets reelected because her district is gerrymandered into a mish mash of people like her.
She has a driver who takes her from her residence in DC to the capital daily. There are numerous stories of her keeping the car waiting up to an hour, then berating the driver to going too slow getting her to her office. She has a long history of being abusive and accusing other of racism to cover for her incompetance.
My favorite sheila moment was when the Constitution was being read aloud recently, she remarked that someone should be writing all this down so that there would be a written record of this Constitution.
