On Christmas Eve, one staffer was at a midnight mass ceremony at her church. When the boss called, the staffer didn’t answer. “She got so irritated that I wasn’t answering her call on Christmas Eve. So she called me every minute for 56 minutes,” the source recalled.

Long, but verrrrry interesting article. Whoa, what a piece of work she is. I'm sure most of us already knew this, but I didn't know to what extent. Yikes!

She’s probably the “best and brightest” in her gerrymandered district.

It wasn’t just staffers who have been made to wait. Ray LaHood, the secretary of transportation, cooled his heels for an hour and a half in her office before leaving. “He was there to address transportation issues – getting funding to Houston. So I was just shocked that she would let him leave,” a former staffer said. Jackson Lee was waiting for a chance to appear in front of the C-SPAN cameras on the House floor.

Yes, I believe most Houstonians know that one of the the most dangerous places to be is between Sheila and a TV camera.

This is one of the smartest people on the planet: she’s found a bunch of morons who keep re-electing her.

Her former drivers say the congresswoman demanded they run red lights and drive on highway shoulders around traffic. This caused at least one accident. As Jackson Lee was yelling at a staffer to drive faster she turned too sharply, smashing the side of her car into a wall.

Why weren’t her employees getting overtime? Aren’t they federal employees?

These are the morons that could never hold a job in the private sector.

Thankfully we have the welfare system of “public service” for these incompetent fools.

I read all seven pages. She is stupid, lazy, mentally-ill, and completely unaccountable. She is an embarrassment and a prime example of the idiots in Congress. Shame on Houston for electing this fool.

The strength - and the tragedy - of representative democracy is that you generally get the kind of representatives you deserve.

That’s why the current unrest in the Middle East is likely to end up as tragedy - the population is largely uneducated, and the mores of their culture are hardly hospitable to the kind of personal responsibility it takes to put together a working democracy.

And that’s why the situation even in our country is so grave - large segments of the population, concentrated mostly in urban areas, will elect pretty much any demagogue who can garner party support and collect enough campaign cash to saturate the airways.

Sometimes it’s a total moron like Jackson Lee, and sometimes it’s a slimy opportunist like Deadfish Emanuel.

And I’m not sure which is the worse.

Her arrogance was on grand display during the town hall meetings. She accepted a cell phone call in the middle of a constituent talking to her.

I’ve never forgotten that.

Not only mean & arrogant, but Stupid! ...flag on Mars?

Jackson Lee has always been quick to assign racism as a motive of her political opponents and others. In 1997, for example, The Hill reported that the newly-elected congresswoman asked NASA officials whether the Mars Pathfinder photographed the American flag astronaut Neil Armstrong had planted on the surface of Mars. When it was pointed out that the flag in question was on the moon, not Mars, Jackson Lee cited bigotry. “You thought you could have fun with a black woman member of the Science Committee,” her then chief of staff wrote in a letter to the editor.

Hurricane Shaniqua ?

In 2003, she demanded that more Hurricanes be named with African American-sounding names.

Can you send this thread to Sheila JACKSON Lee’s office? I would love to see her implode as she reads it.
