Sheila Jackson Lee is absolutely bonkers. SHEILA JACKSON LEE’S RIDE You’ll remember Texas Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee. She’s the rocket-scientist Democrat who somehow got the idea that Astronauts from The United States has planted a flat on Mars. This woman can propose vote on new laws and government regulations. Are you worried yet? If not, try this. Congresswoman Lee -- or Jackson Lee -- or whatever -- lives one and one-half blocks from here office in Washington D.C. Sounds like a nice little walk, doesn’t it? One and one-half blocks should take, say, 3 minutes to walk, even if you haven’t exactly paid attention to basic nutrition, as is obviously the case with the Congresswoman. So … does the Houston Congresswoman walk? Are you kidding? She rides at taxpayer’s expense in a taxpayer funded limousine. As it turns out, Sheila Jackson-Lee is somewhat of an embarrassment to the people she represents. Here are some of the other behavioral episodes Dealey disclosed about Jackson-Lee. Sheila Jackson Lee seems to have a problem with air rage. She has been thrown off Continental Airlines several times. One time she exploded after they failed to have her seafood special meal on board. Her actions on this flight prompted the Washington representative for Continental Airlines to provide her with a Delta Airlines flight schedule along with a suggestion that she might try Delta for her next flights. The good Congresswoman’s office likes to make several reservations when it’s time for Jackson-Lee to go home. They’ll make three reservations, and she will just take the flight she wants. In the meantime Continental can’t sell the other seats. Then we have the purse incident. Jackson-Lee was on the airplane getting ready to fly back to DC from Houston. Suddenly she couldn’t find her purse. She ran off the airplane to look for her purse in the boarding area. While she was so engaged departure time arrived and the airplane pushed back from the gate without her. After the airplane left a flight attendant found her purse --- on the airplane. Congresswoman Jackson-Lee, being such an important member of Congress, demanded that the plane return to the gate to pick her up. The gate agents said that there was no way that was going to happen, as it would be contrary to FAA regulation, whereupon Shelia Jackson Lee started screaming racism. (wow, what a surprise!). While nobody would be surprised to learn that Sheila Jackson Lee is one to scream “racism” when slighted, we should point out that the Continental manager on duty was black. Apparently Sheila Jackson Lee doesn’t treat her staff on Capitol Hill any better than she treats Continental Airlines employees. She has the highest staff turnover rate in Washington. boortz.com I think that is a typo, maybe she thinkgs our astronauts have planted a flag on Mars. I don't know what planting a flat is.
