FoxNews ^ | Sept 16, 2003

Cavuto was discussing with Shirley Lee Jackson (D-TX) why the US should now get in bed with the French. Jackson is supporting the French view. As the discussion turned, the following brief exchange took place regarding French Fries/Freedom Fries.

Cavuto: "Did you ever call them Freedom Fries?"

Shirley Jackson (D-TX): "I never had the chance. I'm on a vegetable diet myself."

Hey, Shirley. Fries are from potatoes. Potatoes are vegetables.

She's not. She's a Nu Yauka. Queens, NYC. to be exact. She's only a Texan by marriage.

Have you ever noticed the volume of posts when Ms.Lee is mentioned. It's never a substanitive mention by default. I think she is such an example of what we love to hate so much we just go giddy over her.

Personally I think she is quite attractive when she smiles. All two times in ten years. She sure is a lot better than looking at Nita Lowey or Maxine the mouth. Really! she dresses very well, nice hair, and watches her diet. I forgive the predisposed derrier and consider that a plus in the flat asses boney asses white bitch world I'm confined to.

Just the kind of women I'd love to get away with. That is until I said...."Hey Kizzy, go get yo Kunta-Kinte' a cold Colt 45 from the kitchen, your Mandingo be thirsty wit dem nappy dugout hairs stuck in muh throat."

Shirley Jackson (D-TX): "I never had the chance. I'm on a vegetable diet myself."

No, TomGuy. You misunderstood her. She didn't mean "a diet of vegetables." She meant "a diet for vegetables."

..which are usually fried in animal fat

Not at any fast food franchise. Though in certain black socio-economic groups, lard is a popular fat for frying. I think that Sheila is way, way beyond these groups in income.

You sure got the term "demonrats" right. It's downright embarrassing here sometimes! I think I'll just come see you guys and help you out! :)

Can you actually use the term "faggots" on here? In CA you could get shot if the wrong person overhears that one! lol! My dad is 70 years old (& is still playing with a full deck!) and when we go out to dinner sometimes we have to shush him when he blurts that out....but he always has us laughing!

Sure you can use faggot, if you mean a bundle of twigs, but if you're using it for someone who is gay, queer or homosexual, I'm not sure about that.

[MAWG]

Intimidated by a bunch of limp wristed Nancy Boys. How pathetic does it get. I miss the old california and I'm sure your father does too.

How can the Left continue to vote for such complete morons?

UHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH,

Did you reread your sentence yet?

Answer:

They are voting for themselves.

Besides that,

evidently she has boogers hanging inside her skull where brain lobes are supposed to be.

[Quix]

The woman is a disgrace to sapiens of all types on all planets.

[Quix]

Wouldn't it have been more fun to have handcuffed her to the tail so she could have gotten some practice facing the wind a la her broom trips?

[Quix]

An excellent example of the point of the Scripture about how bad it is for a slave to become king.

[Quix]

With some critters . . .

"best one"

just doesn't fit the type.

Best ones are still among the worst possible.

[Quix]

Welllllllllllll,

given all the bulls in Texas . . .

it doesn't take a Mars rocket scientist to realize which end of some bull she came from.

You mentioning the traffic - this city has to be one of the few that allows people to move in and not expect to build new roads. Remember when they built Loop 1? No big trucks, no billboards, speed limit was to be 45MPH and it would be only between 183 & Town Lake.

Now look at how it is. I always said, "If they build it like the original plan was, it would be like building a pipeline, filling it with gas or oil and no way to get it out.

BTW, check your private mail.

Shirley Jackson Lee, a prime example of a public school education.

Correction: SHEILA Jackson Lee, not Shirley.

You are mixing the fruits argument up. Some foods that we consider "vegtables", like tomatos or eggplants are really fruits. All tubers are vegtables.
