Sheila Jackson (where's the car) Lee
Roll Call ^ | 5/28/02 | Roll Call

Posted on 05/28/2002 4:41:11 PM PDT by antivenom

Car Talk. . No matter how hard she tries, Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee. (D-Texas) just can't seem to shake her car troubles.

Jackson Lee took a beating in the media a few months back for having a staffer wait outside her front door each morning in a government-financed car to shuttle her the whole two blocks from her apartment to the Rayburn Building. HOH. later reported that she had started slipping out the back door to have her chief of staff drive her to work, though her office insisted that the boss wasn't trying to evade scrutiny.

Then, during a House vote Wednesday night, an interesting scene played out on the east side of the Capitol. The Capitol Police cleared Rep. John Dingell's (D-Mich.) car. to go through the security barriers, which only let through one vehicle at a time.

But suddenly a Mercedes with dark windows sped up. and tried to sneak through the barriers on Dingell's tail. According to HOH's spy, police officers rushed over and ordered the car to stop, as the tinted windows slowly started rolling down. "Who should be in the passenger seat but Sheila Jackson Lee.," said the source.

The police did a close check of the vehicle, and then the Congresswoman was waved in.

There must have been a camera on the other side of that barricade.

Do not get between Queen Sheila and a camera!

If Roll Call is reporting this stuff, she must be real unpopular in Congress.

Black conservative ping

If you want on (or off) of my black conservative ping list, please let me know via FREEPmail. (And no, you don't have to be black to be on the list!)

"BOTH stories here are on ROLL CALL...it will be in the PRESS soon enough!"

I missed the source (Roll Call), but I still doubt it'll make the morning, noon and night news for days on end on ABC, NBC & CBS. One can always hope.

Great post,AV. Sheila's district has been in the total control of African-American legislators for the last thirty years. I had the occasion to do some work on some rental property smack in the middle of Queen Shelia's district yesterday. It is the third world. Has she no shame? Why has she not helped more? Those poor folks are still on the plantation.

Did Lee think that we've landed on Mars?

"Why has she not helped more? Those poor folks are still on the plantation."

And the plantation is exactly where she intends for them to stay.

I am sure she thinks they treated her like that because they are racist and she is black. It never would occur to her that maybe she got treated like that because she is obnoxious and rude.

Thanks for the ping. Guess Sheila thinks rank has its privileges.

Wish she'd do something about that hair. Looks like a big snake around her head.

I'm more concerned with what's in her head (which ain't much, IMO), than what's on it.

Daschle added that all of this global intercourse will, appropriately enough, help America

I think what the esteemed senator meant was more to the likes of"this global intercourse will,appropriately enough, screw America"

This clueless, idiot bitch and her ilk (Barbara Lee for example) is the reason why concerned Americans do NOT want all extremely sensitive national security information disseminated to all Congress as the Dirtyrats Party demands since many of their members are openly anti-American and pro-terrorist, especially the traitor and fool Barbara Lee, (D)umbass of California.

No matter how hard she tries, Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee. (D-Texas) just can't seem to shake her car troubles.

...now, based on what we have heard so far about this woman, one can not help but to draw the conclusion that she is an absolute retard.
However, the the sad part of the story is that her constituents, who voted her to represent them in the House are by and large a bigger bunch of uninformed retarded morons.

Who in his right, sane, mind will vote for a such a person, (on a federal level I might add) with an IQ of equal or less than room temperature. To be honest with you, I would be ashamed even to mention that I am located in her district, even not have had voted for her.

One thing comes to mind...beware of the power of stupid people...but my biggest dissapointment is that she is from...don't mess with TEXAS!? ...very sad indeed......................

Add Maxine Waters and Diane Watson. I have a theory that black voters are sending these weird, ignorant, dangerous women to DC to get them out of the district where folks don't want to see them everyday in their face. Our loss, they're gain.

"...Queen Shelia's district yesterday. It is the third world. Has she no shame?..."

It's the mentality, dix. She's in washingtoon now. She's not a 'field n*****' anymore! She's a 'house n*****'! They turn their backs on their own, and despise them, curiously.

Europeans tend to help themselves, except the Irish, of course.

Let's see, have I missed offending anybody? Truth is a bitch, and it's NEVER PC! Stay well and vigilant.........FRegards
