She’ll make you wait
“I am a queen, and I demand to be treated like a queen,” Jackson Lee once said, and apparently she wasn’t kidding. Her employees describe waiting for their boss for hours on end, sometimes late into the night, while she attends events or even sits in her office watching TV.
“You worked really, really, really late for her. When she was in town, you were in the office. So that meant, two, three, four o’clock in the morning – we were there,” one former staffer said.
“She liked to hold her staff meetings — she would individually pull in the deputy chief of staff, myself and some other people individually to go over different parts of her day. But she would literally wait until super late at night. None of us could go home, because she wouldn’t tell when she was coming back or if she wasn’t. And if she called and you didn’t answer, it was like World War III,” the source said.
Jackson Lee’s designated driver picks her up at her apartment one block from her office each morning and waits for her outside wherever she goes throughout the days and nights.

Long, but verrrrry interesting article. Whoa, what a piece of work she is. I'm sure most of us already knew this, but I didn't know to what extent. Yikes!
She’s probably the “best and brightest” in her gerrymandered district.
One disgusting image.
Yes, I believe most Houstonians know that one of the the most dangerous places to be is between Sheila and a TV camera.
This is one of the smartest people on the planet: she’s found a bunch of morons who keep re-electing her.
Obamanites.... They’re the ones who vote for her.
Why weren’t her employees getting overtime? Aren’t they federal employees?
(actually, I don't meanto besmerch the good name of pigs, who are sweet tempered and intelligent critters.)
I saw him on Cavuto yesterday. Way impressed!
These are the morons that could never hold a job in the private sector.
Thankfully we have the welfare system of “public service” for these incompetent fools.
Anyone getting tired of that hair?....looks like a cow to a shit on her head...oh hell it probably did
I read all seven pages. She is stupid, lazy, mentally-ill, and completely unaccountable. She is an embarrassment and a prime example of the idiots in Congress. Shame on Houston for electing this fool.
The strength - and the tragedy - of representative democracy is that you generally get the kind of representatives you deserve.
That’s why the current unrest in the Middle East is likely to end up as tragedy - the population is largely uneducated, and the mores of their culture are hardly hospitable to the kind of personal responsibility it takes to put together a working democracy.
And that’s why the situation even in our country is so grave - large segments of the population, concentrated mostly in urban areas, will elect pretty much any demagogue who can garner party support and collect enough campaign cash to saturate the airways.
Sometimes it’s a total moron like Jackson Lee, and sometimes it’s a slimy opportunist like Deadfish Emanuel.
And I’m not sure which is the worse.
Her arrogance was on grand display during the town hall meetings. She accepted a cell phone call in the middle of a constituent talking to her.
I’ve never forgotten that.
Jackson Lee has always been quick to assign racism as a motive of her political opponents and others. In 1997, for example, The Hill reported that the newly-elected congresswoman asked NASA officials whether the Mars Pathfinder photographed the American flag astronaut Neil Armstrong had planted on the surface of Mars. When it was pointed out that the flag in question was on the moon, not Mars, Jackson Lee cited bigotry. “You thought you could have fun with a black woman member of the Science Committee,” her then chief of staff wrote in a letter to the editor.
In 2003, she demanded that more Hurricanes be named with African American-sounding names.
Can you send this thread to Sheila JACKSON Lee’s office? I would love to see her implode as she reads it.
