I bet it was a call consisting of heavy breathing or was it her version of Obama’s teleprompters telling her what her next line is or warning her to get out a dodge NOW!!

That’s ok…their strategy is failing big time.

Tactic #1 – Ignore (rushing through bill before August break) – FAIL

Tactic #2 – Demonize (compare protesters to Nazis, Mob, KKK) – FAIL

Tactic #3 – Contempt (take cell phone calls, fall asleep during town halls) – FAIL

close your eyes and imagine election night 2010 when these people realize they don’t have a job anymore.

Miss Jackson planned this, plain and simple. She is showing her contempt and wants all to see how she really feels about her constituents. C’mon Texans, vote her out!

Funny how her phone rang just at the right time.

lol
Maybe she had a staff member call her from the back of the room.

total disrespect plain and simple. Everyone knows to turn off your phone in a meeting so what was so important that she had to have the phone on? They act like royalty and they rule us when in fact they are the servants of the people. No wonder america is in such bad shape with the people we have running govt.

Rep Jackson-Lee had the modicum of decency to at least show up physically for the townhall. My worthless U.S. Rep Foster is hiding out during the recess and studiously avoiding any contact with his constituency.
Gutless tool.

It’s hard to be on the side of what’s right. It’s harder to be on the side of what’s right when a bunch of lunatics want to team up with you.

Unfortunately, I live in Queen Sheila’s district. This will have no effect at all. She could kill someone and still win by 60-40% margin.

At least Craig Washington (her predecessor) had spotty attendance and missed half the votes, so he could do less damage (grin).

What is she doing when she puts the phone up to her mouth like that? Looks like she’s taking a hit from a crack pipe.

Who is listening to the US citizens?…

Elitist Representative Sheila Jackson Lee—Gotta love her!

Who does she think she is? She thinks she’s omnipotent, someone that gets elected over and over again and answers to know one—that’s who!

Maybe if someone would have hit this smarmy idiot, Lee, in the head with a chair, you might have gotten her attention…but that seems to be EXACTLY what these scumbags like Lee want.

I used to live in Pearland, a suburb of Houston, and had to watch this stupid idiot on TV all the time pursing her lips and acting like an MLK wannabe. She’s one of the congresswomen/men who will never be defeated because she lives in a black Democratic district. The only way she would ever be defeated is if hell freezes over. They need to ship her off into the sunset with Ron Paul. They’re both jerks.

Sheila “Lookat-Me” will show up anywhere that has a TV camera. Consequently she will cancel on events she’s been invited to that do not have TV cameras.

It’s a little game I play when going to public events I know she’s been invited to.

rihar on August 12, 2009 at 12:02 PM

Let me amend this. It’s not really a “game”. It’s more like an equation.

1.Sheila Lookat-Me on agenda + Event + TV camera = will attend

((SJL/LM)+E)+T=WA

2.Sheila Lookat-Me on agenda + Event – TV camera = will cancel on event.

((SJL/LM)+E)-T=WCOE

Someone please check my math.
