Conservative bloggers went wild Monday when they got wind of the Congressional Black Caucus’ suggestion that President Obama pick Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee of Houston for the post of Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security.
Rich Cooper, avid blogger for Security Debrief, responded to the news of the Jackson Lee recommendation in a post by saying, “Apparently, it is not a joke. For reasons that baffle any sense of reality, it is a serious gesture on the part of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) to encourage President Obama to nominate Rep. Jackson Lee as a replacement for outgoing-DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano.”
A letter dated July 25 and signed by CBC Chairwoman Rep. Marcia Fudge, an Ohio Democrat, urges President Barack Obama to consider Jackson Lee for the position formerly held by Janet Napolitano, the first woman to hold the position. Napolitano resigned earlier this month to become president of the University of California.
“Representative Jackson Lee would serve as an effective DHS Secretary because she understands the importance of increasing border security and maintaining homeland security,” the nomination letter reads.

Think about it- the left does EVERYTHING with the thought of “how much will this offend conservatives & Christians”.
He just MIGHT do it.
Isn’t she the really stupid one?
Good. Send her to investigate that plot on Mars.
She’ll have plenty to do while getting there.
She will absolutely be on top of the Martian threat.
Sheila Jackson Lee: “ Lemme see da hammers!”
Oops!
I should have read the thread before posting.
Hank Johnson not available?
Both the DHS Secretary and Dep Sec positions need to be filled.
The USCIS director has been nominated for the #2 slot, but just got caught doing immigration related favors for one of Hillary Clinton’s brothers.
I could see this as an attempt to get Lee installed, as a compromise, as the Dep Sec.
Did the Mars Rover take any images of the flag Neil Armstrong planted on Mars?
That sounds like her stupid a$$.
Aren’t you supposed to put a disclaimer notice on satire posts?
I consider her to be an embarrassment to our state.
She’s too stupid to find her butt with both hands and the lights on!
Good grief! ...and I naively thought that the DIMs couldn’t be more ignorant.
Sheila Jackson Lee (2001)
” Mr. Chairman, I rise in opposition to the 4th Amendment to the Constitution”
These days we find ourselves in a quandary when it comes to a control by which we would measure a level of stupidity. Pelosi? Boxer? Rep. Hank Johnson?
I guess we would need to better understand what the definition of "really" is.
Speaking in July 2010 at the NAACP national convention, Jackson Lee compared the Tea Party to the KKK.
Which is really sad, because it's a hysterically funny image.
