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. I really, really, wish the crew had told her to shut up and sit down, that she would be treated the same as ordinary citizens.

Jackson-Lee is officially the dumbest person 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!)
Extra warning: this is a high-volume ping list.

I can't wait to read about this incident in the New York Times. I hope that it gets a lot of press back in Texas.
The good people of Texas should not tolerate such behavior in their public servants
This should definitely be a campaign issue used by her opponent in the next election.

I thought it was a REPUBLIC, and that a DEMOCRACY can only lead to anarchy/communism

I think they actually did those passengers a favor. Would you want to sit next to her on that flight?

Some politicians think they're Leona Helmsley. Rep. Sheila Jackson-Lee seems to be one of them.

When is the last time that you demanded a whole row of seats for yourself only, and the airline granted that to you?
To: Pontiac
Why would she be flying on the government dime? It would be an interesting question, whether or not she was flying on th FedGov's dime...

I would have had them stop the plane after it pulled away and take me back to the gate. There I would have lodged a complaint, demanded my money back. Then filed a civil rights suit against the Elitist PIG.

I wonder if Ms. Lee paid for the extra seats? Oh no, of course not.
Damn, I wish I was there to give her--and Continental--a piece of my mind.

I'd tell her she has her own private suite; then I'd lock her in the crapper.

"...probably bacause I am black."
Why the assumption? This is the type of thinking that continues the racism monster in the U.S.

Not until Conyers gets the boot. Until then she is slightly behind on the dumb-o-meter!

Damn, I wish I was there to give her--and Continental--a piece of my mind.I wish I'd have been there as well. I might have gotten myself booted, but I'd have raised my voice and given her a good solid piece of my mind as well. There'd probably be some serious cussing, as once I get fired up, I tend to ignore those rules of etiquette.

"...and I don't fly even nearly as often as a senator."Lee is not a Senator; she's a Congressman. And a piss-poor one at that!
