IT'S A DEMOCRACY, STUPID, NOT A MONARCHY: Airline makes room for Sheila Jackson Lee

THE HILL ^ | 9/3/03

Members of Congress often use weekend plane trips back to their districts as a way to unwind after a hectic bout of lawmaking. Which could explain why Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas) demanded a whole row of seats to herself on a recent Continental flight from Washington to Houston.

Jackson Lee usually gets first-class upgrades from the airline. But on this particular flight first class was full. After cabin attendants delivered the bad news and showed her to the coach section, Jackson Lee exploded, said one witness.

“When she saw that she had to sit with other people, she started shouting that she was in Congress and worked hard. She was really loud. Everybody in the plane could hear.”

Frequent flyers say that such outbursts are common whenever Jackson Lee is on board. The Continental crew seemed to take the whole situation in stride. Attendants scurried around to find her other accommodations, and once Jackson Lee got her own row of seats she quieted down.

Later in the flight she even paid a friendly visit to the people she had refused to sit with. According to a nearby passenger, Jackson Lee “handed out her business cards and invited them to stop by her office.”

Maybe it was his time of the month...

[NovemberCharlie]

I thought Continental had banned her? Or was that a different airline?

[Liz]

Voter fraud most likely enables these people to get elected.

[Liz]

Probably all the airlines would like to ban her, she's such a damn nuisance.

[ladyinred]

YUK! This woman is so sickening! Uppity affirmative action witch. The people in coach were probably thrilled to have her out of there!

[avenir]

"I would've told her to sit down and shut up. She works for me, not the other way around."

Amen! She need her ears boxed. Some people should never have much money or any power.

[Terry Mross]

Wake up, Liz! Didn't you know Congress PEOPLE are royalty? Sheez! They are treated like royalty therefore they are royalty.

I think it's time I turned in my Continental frequent flyer club card. If all of us would stop flying Continental they'd have plenty of room for Acorn Head.

"The bitch got booty, so she got snooty, because she knows with that ass in a row there's no rum for even Little Richard, nor his Tuti or Fruiti."

Don't know about all that, but she surely does have a Texas-size azziponer.

[Doctor Raoul]

I don't want to say she has a big ass, but when she backs up it goes, "beep...beep....beep...."beep....

[Liz]

Wake up, Liz! Didn't you know Congress PEOPLE are royalty? Sheez!

Darn it all. I keep forgetting. I gotta write that down. LOL.

[Conspiracy Guy]

I see dead people, voting.

[Long Cut]

I just recently deployed overseas with my squadron. For a variety of reasons, I was forced to go on commercial air.

After showing my military I.D. and orders, I was searched down to my shoes TWICE, and wanded both times. I was put in the very LAST seat in coach, and spent five hours with my knees in my chin in a seat which could not even recline. Oh, and no stewardess managed to pass me without bumping my arms, so no sleep was possible as a respite. All so I could leave my wife and infant son for six months+, and "relax and unwind" in loveley Keflavik, Iceland.

Somehow, I feel little sympathy for Ms. Lee.

[Just mythoughts]

What no video? This would make great "reality" TV watching the "royal" among us making a "donkey" of themselves.

[TLI]

My exact thoughts... dittos.

I'd been asking the commie bi+ch if she needed ketchup with those cards.

[ConservativeStandUP]

SJLEE is a great argument for pre-voting literacy tests.
When she retires from Congress she should audition to be Whoppi Goldberg's stunt double.

She clearly thinks she's a queen.

But she'd better be careful,

Bwitch Shrillery will slap her down good.

Or some 'queens' from San Francisco will tell her to . . . well, anyway.

[Quix]

Absolutely.

And I'd not have been too careful about splatter when I spoke.

[Quix]

What a disgrace to humanity.

[Liz]

I keep thinking....."the bigger they are....the harder they fall."
