Pug: are you kidding me? A congresswoman shouldn’t be listening to her constituents? They pay her salary and benefits and her constitutional obligation is to represent them. This is the real problem: our representatives are loyal to only the people they perceive voted for them and act at the expense and to the detriment of those they perceive didn’t vote for them… although there would be no way of actually knowing that. In this particular instance a constituent was trying to pursuade her after telling her story, not yell at her… although it would be her duty to stand there and listen to those citizens if necessary because they are paying her to listen to them, are paying her to represent all of her constituents, and she is supposed to be a citizen politician. If she doesn’t like it she can quit.

David, I’ll certainly agree that Sheila is goofy.

I’ll also point out those people are not her constituents. Anybody who knows her district knows exactly what I am talking about. Those folks are there to protest and they don’t vote for or against her.

Honestly, I really don’t blame her for ignoring them.

How goofy is Sheila Jackson-Lee? The Houston Press is a very liberal weekly freebie. And yet, it published a scathing article about this dimwit elected official in 1997. Here take a look:

Jackson-Lee has got be one of the craziest people in Washington, DC. There is no doubt that a white woman (especially a Republican) would never get away with this sort of nonsense. It is only the race card that protects her. Once again, I must remind you: the Houston Press is not a conservative newspaper! The Houston Chronicle mostly gives Jackson-Lee a free ride.
