First class? funny that you would mention that. Here's some clips from The Diddly Awards: Honoring Our Do-Nothing Congress

The Award for Most Appalling Food Reference

Sheila Jackson-Lee (D-Texas): "Don't you know who I am? I'm Congresswoman Sheila Jackson-Lee. Where is my seafood meal?" Jackson-Lee shouted at a Continental stewardess. The airline has so tired of her imperious demeanor on weekly flights to D.C. that they suggested she fly Delta.

and another clip from the same article:

There were moments that were weird (Texas Rep. Sheila Jackson-Lee yelled at a staffer who failed to reserve her a limo: "You don't understand. I am a queen, and I demand to be treated like a queen!").

if sheila demands to be treated like a queen perhaps she better start behaving like one. with CLASS.

Thanks for that link -- Mother Jones may be a liberal/lefty magazine, but that article was pretty darn funny. My favorite anecdote was that Trent Lott received a cigar from Clinton just after the impeachment trial!
