Motor-mouth Sheila Jackson Lee' s intellectually facile explanation of her rude unconscionable behavior at a townhall---answering a cell phone while a cancer survivor was speaking----raises several questions. How did this rude, obnoxious woman ever get elected? Voter fraud comes to mind.
To add insult to injury she (1) first lied about her actions, (2) claimed the tape was "doctored," then, (3) told news organs she was talking to a healthcare hotline. I urge the Houston Chronicle to subpoena Lee's cell phone records to determine who exactly she was fielding phone calls from.
Lee clearly owns an imperious sense of entitlement, and expects Americans to kneel in obeisance at her feet. She had better disabuse herself of the notion that she, and she alone, gets to decide what happens to Americans' healthcare. Aint gonna happen.
Finally, I don't know where this woman came from, but Texas voters are going to send her back there ASAP.
To add insult to injury, SJL says she didn’t “dish” Tracy, and invited her to the next town hall meeting. Lee says she would tell Tracy she’s sorry she interpreted the phone call that way and CONVINCE HER THAT 0BAMACARE IS THE RIGHT OPTION FOR HER, as a cancer survivor.
Sounds to me like Ms. Lee is hoping to use Tracy as her 0care poster child.
Finally, I don't know where this woman came from, but Texas voters are going to send her back there ASAP.I'm pretty sure that Sheila Jackson Lee is as safe in her Texas District as Jess Jackass Jr is in his IL District.
In English; their constituents are racists and only care about skin color.
Just consider what an admission that was: SJL is so important that she can listen to two conversations at the same time. It must be something that is a habit with her, and her staff will recognize that it is regular behavior of hers.
Even on Greta's show she did not know how to listen, but just filibustered. Finally Greta said to her: you do not listen. SJL is so full of herself, that she had no idea to what Greta was referring.
This woman is a piece of work and based upon what I saw out of her and it will be an act of the Almighty to free her brain. Thus far I see nothing positive for any American coming out of what this bunch calls reform.
She could have saved herself a whole lot of time by just announcing that ‘hotline’ number she claims there is, for the rest of US to get the ‘government’ answers we are looking to have answered.
The long claimed accusation of Reverend Jesse Jackson that some people can never be racist because of institutional racism is in a stage of withering on that proverbial vine. And these that have been raised on the planting the seeds for a harvest of retribution are nearing a reaping of the seeds they have sown.
“Finally, I don’t know where this woman came from”
Nobody knows. She has an I.Q. <75, that much is certain.
Liz, I wish the good people of Texas would vote the crazed anti-white Mau Mau from office.
Molon Labe,
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.
