U.S. Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee said today she does not know the woman who falsely claimed to be a physician when she made a statement supporting the White House's health care overhaul at the congresswoman's town hall meeting Tuesday.

The woman, a University of Houston student named Roxana Mayer, is not a licensed physician, although she called herself one at the meeting and was incorrectly identified as such in Wednesday's editions of the Chronicle.

In an e-mail to the Chronicle today, Mayer said she'd been advised not to talk further about the matter, but did not say who counseled her.

Mayer was an organizer and delegate for the Barack Obama campaign last year.

Liar, I think. I believe the ‘doctor’ was a delegate for the 0ne.

Mayer said she’d been advised not to talk further about the matter,

Yeah, I’d think . . . impersonating a licensed medical practitioner.

Ooops.

“Mayer was an organizer...”

Will ‘organizer’ soon become a synonym for ‘liar’?

I did send info about the fake doctor to media this morning, but doubt that it will see the light of day, though. Just disgusting the depths to which the dems will sink to get this pile of crap passed.

Is that supposed to be funny? It’s not.

[mattdono]

Maybe “Dr” Mayer was one of the Obama Craigslist hires?
