You'd need the Jaws of Life to pry Sheila Jackson Lee out of Washington, D.C.. Just ask her chauffeur.

[Jet Jaguar]

Lee hasn't received her talking points from Hillary yet. Wait till Sunday and Russert's guests( the usual suspects more than likely) for the talking points to be released. Then on Tuesday Lee etal will begin to charge the Bush administration with everything from ineptness to racism.

You don't really expect Queen Sheila to hand out food as Gov. Rick Perry did yesterday do you? She's part of the Congressional Black Conference. Their job is to bitch and moan and blame Pres. Bush for the fact that 68% of NO is black.

[Piquaboy]

Instead of "Houston, I have a problem". It is now, "This is Houston, I have a problem".

[Piquaboy]

She thinks the Astodome is on the moon.

[PositiveCogins]

Hay don't make fun of my ignorant, incompetent, racist
representative.

[nicmarlo]

She went to get some tips from her friend Castro.

[Caipirabob]

Check the nearest all-you-can-eat buffet.

[solo gringo]

She is trying to figure out if Katrina is an African American name.

[Beth528]

Sheila,is touring with Cindy Sheehan..She has her writers writing a speech for her so she can tell the world how racist this storm was..

[WestTexasWend]

Where is Shiela Jackson Lee? Absent, thank God!

We Can't Blame White People

by BILL COSBY

They're standing on the corner and they can't speak English.

I can't even talk the way these people talk:

Why you ain't,

Where you is,

What he drive,

Where he stay,

Where he work,

Who you be...

And I blamed the kid until I heard the mother talk. And then I heard the father talk.


Everybody knows it's important to speak English except these knuckleheads.


You can't be a doctor with that kind of crap coming out of your mouth. In fact you will never get any kind of job making a decent living.


People marched and were hit in the face with rocks to get an education, and now we've got these knuckleheads walking around.


The lower economic people are not holding up their end in this deal.

These people are not parenting. They are buying things for kids. $500 sneakers for what? And they won't spend $200 for Hooked on Phonics.
I am talking about these people who cry when their son is standing there in an orange suit.


Where were you when he was 2? Where were you when he was 12? Where were you when he was 18 and how come you didn't know that he had a pistol?
And where is the father? Or who is his father?

People putting their clothes on backward: Isn't that a sign of something gone wrong?

People with their hats on backward, pants down around the crack, isn't that a sign of something?

Or are you waiting for Jesus to pull his pants up?

Isn't it a sign of something when she has her dress all the way up and got all type of needles [piercing] going through her body?


What part of Africa did this come from? We are not Africans.
Those people are not Africans; they don't know a thing about Africa.
With names like Shaniqua, Taliqua and Mohammed and all of that crap, and all of them are in jail.

Brown or black versus the Board of Education is no longer the white person's problem.


We have got to take the neighborhood back.

People used to be ashamed. Today a woman has eight children with eight different 'husbands' -- or men or whatever you call them now.
We have millionaire football players who cannot read.
We have million-dollar basketball players who can't write two paragraphs.
We as black folks have to do a better job.
Someone working at Wal-Mart with seven kids, you are hurting us.
We have to start holding each other to a higher standard.

We cannot blame the white people any longer.
