Sheila Jackson Lee – Houston’s 22-Year Mistake
DB Daily Update ^ | 12/28/17 | David Blackmon

Posted on 12/28/2017 6:14:58 AM PST by x1stcav

Houston Democrat Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee is a terror. Everyone in Houston knows it. Everyone in Washington, DC knows it. Over the last 22 years, since she was first elected to represent Houston in the district seat once held by Barbara Jordan, Cong. Lee has become a legend for her bizarre and abusive behavior.

One of Lee’s most famous eccentricities comes every year on the day of the presidential State of the Union message, which is held in the House Chamber before a joint session of congress. This is the one session of congress at which there is no reserved seating (and we all now know that reserved seating is a very big issue in Ms. Lee’s weird life), except for congressional leadership, and special guests like the members of the U.S. Supreme Court and Joint Chiefs of Staff. Members not in leadership – a position that Cong. Lee is highly unlikely to ever attain due to her abusive behavior – just take seats wherever they can find them.

But the Congresswoman, obsessed with getting seen on television, has a plan for those days. Very early on that particular special day each year, she comes into the House chamber and takes a seat on the aisle where the President enters the chamber. And she sits in that seat all day long – forcing a staffer to hold it for her during potty breaks and to bring her meals when she’s hungry – so that, when the President comes down that aisle, she can be seen grasping and clawing her way to a handshake or even a hug. This routine she has kept, year-in and year-out, for 22 years, come hell or high water.

People in a democracy get the government they deserve. If the people of Houston want this woman mis-representing them to the nation instead of someone more mature, competent and effective, more power to them. As for the people who choose to work for her, it's their choice.

But United needs to consider whether the bad publicity it will get for catering to the whims of this spoiled brat in a grown-up's body are worth it.

Doesn’t say much for the voting cohort that keeps electing her.

As far as United goes, they probably couldn’t give a rat’s ass as their customer base has become so dehumanized by, and enervated to, today’s flying experience that they know this won’t cast them.

One of the reasons I never fly anymore.

“What a tyrant. She seems to have deep psychological problems, even beyond being a Dim.”

There are millions just like her in this country.

“One of the reasons I never fly anymore.”

Same here. No way would I be part of the insanity of commercial flying.

I cut out about 80% of my air travel after 9/11 by just making the decision to drive wherever I needed to go within the state of Texas.

Over the last 2 years, the only places I’ve flown have been to Vegas a few times, and to Miami and New York City for vacations. If I never boarded another plane, I’d die a happy man.

Why?
You lock up a whole bunch of Democrat votes in her district so that that they don’t make other, Republican, districts less safe.
And in return she makes the Democrats look bad.
Win-Win.
The only problem is her seniority in Congress.

Maybe you should stop making stupid general comments telling people what they can or cannot say. Of course the irony here is I am suggesting you not say something. I guess this makes this the exception to the rule.

I would pull every one of your posts that hinted at anything like that as should any mod worth their salt. It’s like shitting in the drinking water when you do that.

You might do better by posting your own material in full.
SO much crap would be avoided.

WHY can’t you do this one simple thing and stop using Free Republic as a free hit farm?

How much does that net you?

Can you not live without the blog hits?

Maybe you should get a job.

Oh my; how did you get so clueless in such a short amount of time?

Hint fella; on the right we care deeply about what is right, as in right and wrong, apparently that realm is miles outside of your understanding.

Keep reading guy; you will learn something over the next hundred years. Yes it will take a long time with your sad attitude but you will eventually get there. Stick around.
