WHEN SHEILA JACKSON LEE first came to Washington in January 1995, the Texas Democrat railed against the Capitol's silk-stockinged elite. "The American people want reform, not phony but real reform," she said in her debut House speech. "They want to know that the days of free meals and free trips and special privileges are over. . . . As Members of Congress, we should not be using public office for private gain." How times change.
It's about 200 paces from the awning of Jackson Lee's Capitol Hill apartment to the marbled steps of the Cannon House Office Building, where her office is. Most people think the walk is a pleasant one. Red-brick townhouses give onto tree-lined streets; crossing guards ensure no one is run over. It's the kind of neighborhood where you might expect to find the Republican party's headquarters--and do. They're right next door to Jackson Lee's building. In a city that consistently ranks among the nation's worst for commuting, Jackson Lee would seem to have it made. But apparently it's not convenient enough. Jackson Lee is routinely chauffeured the one short block to work--in a government car, by a member of her staff, at the taxpayers' expense. And apparently in violation of House rules.

Second it.
This tells us ALL we need to know about that incident involving the seat change aboard United. SJL has already whipped out the racism card. She’s going to scream it from the mountain tops if the story gains any more traction.
She’s Washington Royalty.
White privilege would be a demotion for her.
How much was Lee worth in 1995, and how much today? Since all her “work” has been as a Rep and the COL in DC is high, where would she amass any funds?
You got that right!!..There is a “Black Elite Privilege” that doesnt allow for ANY scrutiny lest it be called racist!!
Obama...Holder...Lynch...and on and on and on.....
It just oozes the “all white people do this so...” mantra of these parasites.
Wait! There's more!
SJL is ugly in so many ways.
Sheila Jackson Lee is the smartest person in DC.
And as long as we have our flag panted IN THE MARTIAN SOIL she will continue to live how she should. Elite.
They are all Mugabi if you give them the chance.
Obama would have terrorized for 50 years if it weren’t for the bitter clingers—in other words us.
She had another major tantrum when her son was ready to go off to college. She complained Texas didn’t have any black colleges. As if she couldn’t look out her window in Houston and see 3 right there. Texas has 9 black universities and more than one that was started back in the 1800s.
Loose-lipped limo lib Sheila Jackson Lee belongs among her tribe back in Africa. She is a product of America, but is not an American.
Are there any white colleges in Texas?
Nope.
Favorite line: “And she embarrassed herself.” Cox then joked, “We have already given her the Delta Airlines schedule.”
