Car Talk. . No matter how hard she tries, Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee. (D-Texas) just can't seem to shake her car troubles.

Jackson Lee took a beating in the media a few months back for having a staffer wait outside her front door each morning in a government-financed car to shuttle her the whole two blocks from her apartment to the Rayburn Building. HOH. later reported that she had started slipping out the back door to have her chief of staff drive her to work, though her office insisted that the boss wasn't trying to evade scrutiny.

Then, during a House vote Wednesday night, an interesting scene played out on the east side of the Capitol. The Capitol Police cleared Rep. John Dingell's (D-Mich.) car. to go through the security barriers, which only let through one vehicle at a time.

But suddenly a Mercedes with dark windows sped up. and tried to sneak through the barriers on Dingell's tail. According to HOH's spy, police officers rushed over and ordered the car to stop, as the tinted windows slowly started rolling down. "Who should be in the passenger seat but Sheila Jackson Lee.," said the source.

The police did a close check of the vehicle, and then the Congresswoman was waved in.

[antivenom]

You will Love this then....

Senate Majority Leader Thomas Daschle's. (D-S.D.) tongue got the better of him during a response to a question about trade during the Q&A portion of his National Press Club. speech Wednesday.

Daschle was apparently trying to stress his long support of "international discourse," but it didn't quite come out that way.

"I have been one who always believed that global markets and international intercourse is something very, very important to our country," he said.

Daschle added that all of this global intercourse will, appropriately enough, help America "build relationships" - of some kind - with other nations.

"What better example could there be than China, or perhaps Russia?" he asked. "So the more we can develop these relationships, the better off we are going to be."

And GW is supposed to be the idiot....right....

She at one time...boarded a Continental flight and then decided to run back to the terminal...they shut the plane's doors and taxied away from the terminal...she was enraged and demanded to be allowed on...they said NO..then demanded her purse to be given her....LOL they threw it out the pilot's window on the tarmac...she has been denied flying on Continental ever since...LMBO!

[cardinal4]

Yes!! I remember that the Continental gate lead yelled after her "Go fly on Delta!" Instead of firing her,they promoted her to a station managers job somewhere! True story!
