Queen Sheila, known more informally as haughty Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas), doesn't even have the decency to apologize for gabbing away on her cellphone during a healthcare townhall meeting and ignoring a concerned woman who was asking her a question.
In the video immediately below, audience members can be heard saying of Her Majesty "she's not even listening" and "seriously, I mean, come on, dude!"
In a rambling, incoherent, contradictory answer to CNN's Rick Sanchez, Her Majesty seemed to dismiss the suggestion that her behavior, captured on video, was rude at all.
"Townhall meetings are by their very nature informal," she told CNN's Rick Sanchez in a reassuring tone.
She also offered alternate versions of what really happened, throwing them out there to see what might stick.
The video might have been doctored, she said.
Her Majesty also contradicted herself saying she was calling a help line to help her better answer a question.
There you have it: 1) she did it but it was to help her answer 2) she didn't do and the video is a hoax.
The Queen can do no wrong.

Rep. Jackson is the worst possible combination of characteristics, namely rabid racist, communist, corrupt official, anti-American fascist. I can predict all her future vots with 100% accuracy, and I will take bets on that. You see, I know that, having escaped from a communist country years ago after having received 12 years of communist indoctrination.

To show her contempt for the citizenry, I believe this woman rides in a chauffeur-driven limousine about 1-2 blocks to the Congress, at our expense, of course. Walking would be too HARD for Her Majesty who thinks she's the latest reincarnation of Barbara Jordan. She ain't.
Lonnie| 8.13.09 @ 8:45PM
From what I saw of the congresswoman on the video, she could use a good walk or two or ......
She obviously doesn't miss many meals.
Snead| 8.13.09 @ 9:03PM
1) Why does she talk into the phone's display?
2) She refers to herself in the third person? Weird!

The woman is a liar, disrespectful and should be GONE. It would be EASY to prove who she was talking to. Let her prove it with the phone record and if she can't MAKE HER LEAVE! Nobody going to suggest this>???????????

I am sure that the American public pays for her cell phone. I would like to see the build.

Sheila Jackson Lee's biggest accomplishment is the conversion of several million liters of oxygen into carbon dioxide. Blame her for global warming!

THROW THEM ALL OUT IN THE NEXT ELECTIONS. CLEAN HOUSE - THE ELITIST IGNORANT UPPITY CLASSLESS ARROGANT ANTI-AMERICAN GARBAGE HAS TO GO..

WAKE UP, AMERICA.

She is the crown jewel in the tiara of colossal ignorance that is the democratic party. Who can forget her brilliant suggestion that the Mars rover head on over and put the flags back up. Of course she was referring to the flags from the moon landings, but hey at least she was in the correct universe. She does accomplish one thing; next to her Barbara Boxer looks and sounds intelligent.
c.lepore| 8.14.09 @ 9:49AM
did she ask for nasa to photograph on mars the location where our astronauts planted the american flag? she doesn't know the difference between mars and the moon

Elitist career politicians like Sheila Jackson Lee of Texas no longer address the issues of the day; they politic and use government to do more and more to promote their own self-serving agendas. They don’t listen because they cannot hear us above their cell phones and the roaring whispers of special interest groups who donate big money to their fund-raising campaigns. Let’s face it - the system is broke, it's time to fix it, and we (The People) can do it, but we can't wait until November 2, 2010 to take action. Nodding our heads in agreement with Limbaugh, Hannity and the other talking heads is not enough. It's time to quit cursing the darkness and start lighting some candles. We need to do something to retake our inheritance. I've come across a truly interesting site that I'd suggest you consider. It is called GOOOH (stands for Get Out Of Our House), and pronounced like the word "go". They have an intriguing plan to evict and replace the 435 politicians from the U.S. House of Representatives. There are a few brief but informative videos that will explain how our country can be taken back and returned to a course heading true north. Check it out.
