Sheila Jackson Lee, Limousine Liberal
Excerpted from a February 11 Weekly Standard story by Sam Dealey
WHEN SHEILA JACKSON LEE first came to Washington in January 1995, the Texas Democrat railed against the Capitol's silk-stockinged elite. “The American people want reform, not phony but real reform,” she said in her debut House speech. “They want to know that the days of free meals and free trips and special privileges are over. . . . As Members of Congress, we should not be using public office for private gain.”
How times change.
It's about 200 paces from the awning of Jackson Lee's Capitol Hill apartment to the marbled steps of the Cannon House Office Building, where her office is. Most people think the walk is a pleasant one. Red-brick townhouses give onto tree-lined streets; crossing guards ensure no one is run over. It's the kind of neighborhood where you might expect to find the Republican party's headquarters--and do. They're right next door to Jackson Lee's building. In a city that consistently ranks among the nation's worst for commuting, Jackson Lee would seem to have it made.
But apparently it's not convenient enough. Jackson Lee is routinely chauffeured the one short block to work--in a government car, by a member of her staff, at the taxpayers' expense. And apparently in violation of House rules.
Lee is probably worried her illegal voting bloc is going to diminish. The nerve of those minuteman violating those poor illegals uncivil-rights. NSNR
Nothing, if it can keep her in office. She is just another poverty pimpette looking out for her own welfare. NSNR
Interpretatations:
Bush, Bad! Any D prez, Good!
and,
SJL, Good!
Protect our borders and coastlines from all foreign invaders!
Be Ever Vigilant!
Minutemen Patriots ~ Bump!
I think Ms. Andrew-Jackson-Robert-E.-Lee has those braids wrapped too tight around her empty head!
Sheila Jackson-Lee is the ONLY reason I'm glad to have left Texas. Now, I don't have to keep explaining to people why she keeps being re-elected....

Send all the Minutemen to ILLINOIS!!

Is Shelia Jackson Lee referring to earthling aliens or moon men? She gets confused about the moon, sometimes, as we all know.
AMEN! Long live the Minutemen! And yes, she's dumb as ditchwater.
Sheila Jackson Lee is from Queens NY
