Call me paranoid, but I think Sheila Jackson-Lee’s cell phone usage during questioning was preplanned also. She probably told one of her aides to call her halfway through the town hall and, if she acts condescending and appropriately arrogant, maybe some of those in attendance will start screaming and shouting and the press will play it up as townhallers gone wild!

It’s no surprise that the journalist writing the story knew the doctor wasn’t a doctor but an Obama campaigner but left it out anyway. Why let facts get in the way of a good photo op.

ROTFL! Liberals have no integrity, character, or shame.

The Gift that keeps on Giving.

Notice, it is the bloggers, once again, ferreting out the truth. Go Freepers Go!

[Bullish]

Pretty damn stupid Sheila, even for you.

What is really obnoxious about these lefties is they haven’t enough sense to realize that if they were right they wouldn’t have to lie

But as Hannity reported, the blogger behind “Patterico’s Pontifications” dug through some readily available Internet data bases, and discovered that “Dr. Roxana Mayer,” wasn’t a doctor at all, but a graduate student in social work at the University of Houston — and a Texas Obama delegate during the 2008 election. “The reporter who wrote the Houston Chronicle story apparently knew that Mayer was an Obama delegate, but didn’t include that detail in her story.” (The paper later edited the caption to the photo, but didn’t issue a formal correction.) And the story doesn’t end there. “Patterico” thought a woman pictured sitting next to “Dr. Mayer” at the town hall looked familiar. Sure enough, that woman was Maria Isabel. Mayer admitted she’d been invited to attend the town hall by Isabel, whose previous claim to fame had been her appearance in this widely-mocked photo of a 2008 Obama campaign office, where a photo of Che Guevara, the onetime chief executioner for the Fidel Castro regime in Cuba, was prominently displayed:

Just wow.

Why isn’t this person in jail for impersonating a physician?

Sheila Jackson-Lee is always comically stupid.

We need citizens in the 8th District of Florida (Orlando) to attend Town Hall Meeting with Alan Grayson TONIGHT!

I’ve been asking Alan Grayson’s office (8th District of Florida - Orlando) for weeks if and when he will hold a Town Hall meeting here in his district.

I kept getting “We plan to have one, but we’re not sure when and where - it will probably be the very last week of August. Watch the website for news on this.”

Finally, posted at 6:00PM yesterday (Sunday) with only 24 hours notice, Alan Grayson’s web site has announced that the Town Hall here in Orlando will be held tonight (Monday) at 7:45PM at the local IBEW Union Hall.

Here’s the announcement:

ALAN GRAYSON
[8th Congressional District of Florida –Orlando]
TO HOST HEALTH CARE TOWN HALL
August 17, 2009 7:45 PM

From Grayson’s website:

Congressman Alan Grayson will host a town hall meeting to discuss the need for health care reform, listen to concerns or answer questions from the constituents he serves, and debunk the many myths being circulated about the current proposals.

WHAT: Health Care Town Hall

WHEN: Monday, August 17, 2009, 7:45 p.m.

WHERE:
IBEW Local 606 Union Hall
820 Virginia Drive
Orlando, FL

The Congressman intends for and expects this event to be a respectful and productive discussion.

This is the second public health care meeting the Congressman has held during the summer district work period. On July 27th, he met with about fifty members of his Health Care Advisory Board. The meeting was announced 72 hours in advance, open to the public, and promoted and covered by multiple media outlets.

The Congressman also will conduct a health care telephone town hall on Thursday, August 20th at 7 p.m. People interested in being a part of that event can sign up on the Congressman’s website.

The criminally misrepresented and dishonest reporting of the MSM. It’s how Hussein got elected.

The way she was speaking, she sure didn’t sound like a physician.
