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.
Sheila Jackson-Lee is NOT smart enough to think that up.
