Your Congress At Work...

[Ratickle]

Jackson-Lee served on the House Science Committee and on the Subcommittee that oversees space policy and NASA. She once asked, during a visit to the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, whether the Mars Pathfinder had taken an image of the flag planted on Mars in 1969 by Neil Armstrong, failing to know the flag was in fact planted on the Moon.[2]

She's a freeking idiot, but she's in second and trying for number one....

She is also the one who has twice been given the Delta Airlines schedule by the head of Continental Airlines..

Ms. Jackson-Lee is often referred to as "Hurricane Sheila" because of her rudeness, temper, and the fact she made a big stink a few years ago that the names given to hurricanes by the National Weather Center were too "lily white" and not sufficiently ethnic sounding.

In The Washingtonian's most recent list of the "Best and Worst of Congress," Ms. Jackson-Lee finishes in second place as the House's "meanest" member, and she wins top honors as the chamber's "biggest windbag" and also "show horse" - meaning she can't get enough of seeing herself on TV.

In dishing out this last award, the editors of The Washingtonian quipped, "Staffers have proposed a drinking game to honor the Texan, who gets more than twice as many votes as others: 'Sheila Jackson-Lee is on C-Span. Do a shot.'"

No worries. Pelosi saved the day!

Pelosi: Resolution on Michael Jackson unnecessary

Lawmakers are free to use House speeches "to express their sympathy or their praise any time that they wish," said Pelosi, D-Calif. "I don't think it's necessary for us to have a resolution."
