A few weeks ago, Detroit City Councilwoman Monica Conyers, wife of Congressman and House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers (D-MI), erupted at Council President Kenneth Cockrel Jr. over some inconsequential, uninteresting slight, calling him "Shrek" and incoherently mumbling about his lack of "respect." 
David Freddoso links to this Detroit News video in which an unrepentant Mrs. Conyers attempts to justify her disgraceful behavior to a room full of pre-teen girls. Watch as Conyers gets workedand I mean workedby a delightful, clever, poised eighth grade girl named Kierra Bell:

    And what is truly sad is that she is supposed to have the brains in the family.

    That’s not a very tall task. Mr. Conyers certainly isn’t the sharpest tack in the box. But dhims only have to be smarter than their voters.

Unfortunately, half the population has a below average I.Q.

    This is an excellent campaign video.

    Any piece of furniture is smarter than the members of that family.

    One of the comments on You Tube underneath this video:
 "Black women are the most over bearing creatures on the planet. If you cross a Jewish woman with a black woman, you get Gozilla."
I blew my coffee on my computer screen...lol.

    She must be a Hillary supporter because Hillary has the uneducated vote.

    Kierra Bell completely kicks this insufferable moron's butt. Luckily for Miss Bell, the Lefty blogosphere apparently hasn't seen the video, or we'd be subjected to some nonsense about how “inauthentic” Kierra is. Seeing a 13 year-old remind Mrs. Conyers that she's supposed to be an adult and that there are self-imposed boundaries that civilized behavior requires made my day. Thanks, Kierra, for an uplifting experience.

    Conyers and his wife must have a very low IQ constituency. Or they are electing idiots for the entertainment value. When will the moslems replce them with idiots of their own?

    Sadly.... I get a sense of satifaction knowing that the marxist John Conyers has to go home TO THAT... and that “up in the Conyers” house theres a bit of payback to some of the grief that man has caused.. politically..

    Is this incident for real? If it is, t he kid is to be highly commended for standing her ground and for pointing out what to many would be the obvious.

    Kierra ought to immediately replace Mrs. Conyers on the Council.
