Rep. Sheila Jackson-Lee (D., Texas) took to the House floor on Thursday to call for a vote on legislation that would, she said, give unemployment benefits to people with jobs.
Let us vote to provide for unemployment insurance for working men and women, Jackson-Lee pleaded.
So we cant be only about our self in this holiday season, particularly as we recognize that the Pope being made man of the year has spoken to the world eloquently about this whole issue of the vulnerable. And so I ask this, Mr. Woodall, and the Rules Committee, lets put the Van Hollen-Lee-Levin amendment on the floor tonight, tomorrow. Call us back, Mr. Boehner, call us back, Mr. Boehner. Let us vote to provide for unemployment insurance for working men and women so that faces across America will not the tear of desperation on their face. The deal is good, but the people are suffering. We cannot allow this to happen this season of joy and giving.

True Texans are quick to point out that Sheila Jackson Lee was born and raised in Queens, New York City, NY. Unfortunately, she slipped through our northern border with her husband before she could be stopped. Texas needs better border security against illegals from the south and liberals from the north.
Beauty is only skin deep but (as with Sheila Jackson-Lee) ugly goes all the way to the bone. The stuff that comes out of her mouth when she talks is so polluting (and ignorant) the EPA should ban it.
Just reading the headlines, I knew who it was. That old broad is nuts!!!
Moving at the speed of stupid.
What is she be smokin?
Miz Sheila predates Katrina by a decade. Can’t blame Louisiana for this one — it’s on inner city Houston.
Dont leave out Maxine Waters.....
The Katrina exodus *has* to be a contributing factor in her re-election, though.
‘you lose your job to one of the Amish or Uranians?’
Hey far out man...
Not really. Have you ever been to Houston?
Same for inner city Dallas and John Wiley Price. Google or Wiki him if you don’t recognize the name.
These people are an embarrassment to Texas, mitigated only slightly by their entertainment value.
Sheila is an embarrassment to the human race
I wonder if she understands unemployment benefits are paid first by companies to the state they do business in....so any new people going on unemployment tap the state first..then the fedzilla kicks in after 26 weeks...
