U.S. Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee on Thursday distanced herself from a University of Houston graduate student and Texas Obama delegate who falsely identified herself as a pediatric physician at the congresswoman's health care reform town hall meeting this week.
“I've never met her,” Jackson Lee said as she prepared to take questions from doctors and other health care workers in a session at St. Joseph Medical Center.
Roxana Mayer, who warmly embraced Jackson Lee at the close of Tuesday's session at a Fifth Ward community center, had spoken in favor of the president's health care package. The Texas Medical Board, which oversees doctors in Texas, has no record of Mayer, 31, holding a physician's license.
In a West Coast political blog, Patterico's Pontifications, Mayer admitted she is not a doctor.
When queried by the Houston Chronicle if she held a medical license outside Texas, she responded via e-mail: “If my initial statement to the Houston Chronicle can not be substantiated, then I understand your responsibility to omit it.”

Just wow.
Lee has joined the ranks with Pelosi as far as their “sense of entitlement” goes! Boxer can also be thrown in there with them. You know, its women like these “power tripping bitc’s” that give any other woman in high ranking positions a bad name.
I hope every power hungry, greedy, self-serving person in this admin, joins the two imposters posing as the Potus & First lady, & they all rot in hell together!

Her Houston district is one of those where blacks (38%) and Hispanics (42%) combined have a clear majority. (There is some overlap in those numbers.) An entrenched black Democrat can generally be re-elected there for the rest of her life. So the only way voters would ever "send her back there" would be to beat her in a Dem primary and it's highly unlikely. That's as good an explanation as any for Jackson Lee's exraordinary arrogance.
Thanks justiceseeker93!
Thanks for the voting analysis...............but keep in mind, aside from voting her out, there’s more than one way to skin this cat.
