Sheila Jackson Lee, in Congress: 'I Stand Here as a Freed Slave'

Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Tex.) looks mighty good for a woman who has to be at least 148 years old.
My take on her age is based on a statement the Congresswoman made today while objecting to impending spending reductions relating to sequestration in which she characterized herself as "a freed slave." Slavery as a legal institution ended in the U.S. in 1865 at the end of the Civil War. Here is what Ms. Jackson Lee said, in context (HT Rush Limbaugh):
We are at the bone almost. And sequester that is across-the-board cuts will literally destroy us and put us in a recession.
I don't want to hear the fact that the president is divisive. The President is leading and he has led well. The American people are listening. When are our friends on the other side of the aisle going to listen? I want to challenge this body to be the kind of "Lincolness attitude."
As yesterday was the official birthday of President Lincoln, February 12, and although it was a tragic time in our history, I can assure you that it shows the greatest promise of America when people could come together and do something great. I STAND HERE AS A FREED SLAVE because this Congress came together.

The only way she becomes a freed slave is to leave the Democrat Party.

Rush had fun with this today. He said they were trying to locate SJL's former owners, but weren't having any luck.
What an embarrassment toTexas.

No Sheila, you stand there as an ignoramus who's only in Congress because of the color of your skin. You're a laughingstock, and as such, you're too stupid to realize it.

All the “freed slaves” I know talk about it every chance they get, especially after Hussein’s “election”.

She is a slave of the Left and is too dumb to know it.

If we didn’t know the intelligence of Queen Sheila’s supporters we might think they would be embarrased by her neverending foot in mouth disease.
