And there is a whole congressonal district of Rep. Sheila Jackson-Lee's just as ignorant and ill-informed, no the word is stupid, as her.

“And so, you are in fact incentivized to have health insurance rather than take the negative, which is to suggest that because you have a penalty you’re being punished,” she said.

Missus Yaklike-Flea, I can help you do this much better:

“And so, you are in point of fact non-negatively-incentivized to not un-have health insurance rather than deline to avoid the negative, which is the contrapositive of the inverse of suggesting that because you didn't miss having a penalty, isn't the same as a obverse-positive reward, meaning you’re not escaping the negative of the opposite of being punished,” she said.

By her reasoning, ex-congressmen William J. Jefferson is serving 13 years in a federal penitentiary as an “incentive” for him to not hide bribery money in his freezer.

local conservative radio host Michael Berry talks about the insane/inane logic of SJL

Michael Berry is sharp. And very funny. He is one of the few people on radio that is absolutely politically incorrect. He will mimic blacks, hispanics and asians in ways nobody else has the guts to. He can somewhat get away with this because he is married to an Indian immigrant and has an adopted child who is black.

He said late yesterday that the Lulac types are protecting him today. See his web site here

He has a funny bit on Jackson-Lee here

I wonder how the driver feels, working for her? It must be like driving a large head of cabbage around town.

But it's a NASTY head of cabbage. Her staff turnover rate is about 10 times that of other congresscritters.

There are a lot af her constituents who think she's a buffoon and an embarassment. Unfortunately, in her gerrymandered district, we haven't been able to get her out. My wife and I donated $300 or so to her last competitor. But she consistently plays the race card, and constantly says stupid stuff like this to keep her name recognition up. And it works with her supporters.

I hope I get "redistricted" out of her district. She's not only an embarassment, she's a racist communist, and a vicious one.

Me too! /AOL

My rep is the luser John Olver, redstributionist, statist, liar, gun-grabber, and all-around scumbag IMO.

When he had a challenger in 2008, there was only one letter of support in the local paper that said (in effect) he brings home the pork, so re-elect him.
