But, every once in a blue moon, there comes a situation or a remark or an incident that comes around which is so reprehensible, so disgusting, so heinous, and so devisive that I can't ignore it. Something that makes me embarrassed to be a member of a country that has the wonderful gift of elected officials.
Yep, thank you, Representative Sheila Jackson Lee, my July 2011 Moron of the Month. The latest in a sadly increasing line of leadership frauds perpetuated on the innocent citizens of America. She represents a Congressional district somewhere in Houston, Texas and the people who voted her into office should have their citizenship revoked. She's that hateful a person.
Okay, there's all this talk about the Federal Government debt ceiling being raised and I admit I don't understand any of it. President Obama says it's necessary to keep the country going, even though we're a whole bunch of trillion dollars in debt already. Meanwhile, I don't think this nation is any more solvent or broke than we've been in the past three decades.
But, the conservatives are holding him accountable and don't want the debt ceiling increased because they want more sensible spending. This nonsense goes round and round and round and we should not forget that Obama, as a Senator, voted against the debt ceiling being raised while George Bush the Second was in the Oval Office. So, frankly, nobody has any credibility in this argument.
But, then, you have Sheila Jackson Lee weighing in on the debate. This pile of cow dung in high heels and pearls has her own thoughts on the discussion. Yep, out of her purse, she pulls her favorite toy.
The race card.
In front of the House of Representatives, this bitch had something to say.
"Only this President---only this one---only this one has received the kind of attacks and disagreements and inability to work. Only this one. Read between the lines."
Hmmm? Gee, I wonder what she's trying to say.
"What is different about this President that should put him in a position that should put him in a position that he should not receive the same kind of respectful treatment of when it is necessary to raise the debt limit in order to pay our bills?"
Okay, I think I'm starting to get it now.
"In the minority community that is the questions that is being raised. Why is this President being treated so disrespectfully?"
Aaahhhh. There it is. If you oppose the President's policies, you're automatically a racist.
Thank you, Sheila Jackson Lee, for being a role model for the nation to follow. You bigoted piece of shit.
Okay, I'm no more a fan of this President than I was of the last three. But, I have plenty of friends who did vote for this guy. All of them White. And, so did a little more than half of the country. And, unless I'm missing something in the recent photos, Barack Obama is no more Black today than he was in 2008.
It's about the policies, Sheila. It's about the policies.
But, of course, in her world, it's always about the skin color. If it's not, she's got no platform. Or reason to open her mouth.
This is a woman who closed her office for a day so she could accommodate a visit from Michael Jackson.
This is a woman who introduced Congressional legislation to name that same known pervert, druggie, and pedophile as an international humanitarian.
This is a woman who once demanded that more hurricanes be named with African American-sound names.
On and on and on and on. In a land where race relations have progressed and progressed, Sheila Jackson Lee approaches her job as if she just discovered that her White neighbor has Kunta Kinte chained up in the backyard.
Meanwhile, a little Google excavation and you discover that Sheila's psycho rants might not be confined to the floor of the US House. She's apparently as much of a bitch to work for as she is to work with.
Jackson Lee has one of the highest staff turnover rates in Washington. Over the last ten years, at least 39 staffers have left with one year. Over that time, Sheila has employed at least nine chiefs of staff, eight legislative directors, and 18 schedules or executive assistants. Nine staffers left within two months and 25 left within six months. Murphy Brown had less turnover.
But, wait, as the Ginsu Knife salesman said...there's more.
Sheila regularly ask that documents be printed in different colors.
She demands two staffers in two cars pick her up from the airport---one for her and the other for her luggage.
Her favorite names for addressing staff members is "motherfucker."
Her former drivers say the congresswoman demanded they run red lights and drive on highway shoulders around traffic. This caused at least one accident.
On and on and on and on.
Then there's former staff member Mona Floyd. Fired by Jackson Lee and now suing her former boss for discrimination.
In her law suit, Floyd charges that Jackson Lee insulted and ignored her visual disability, known as monocular visions which causes eye fatigue and strain, headaches, reduced speed in reading, reduced concentration and comprehension, and general physical fatigue."
Jackson Lee allegedly forced Floyd to read throughout the day from 7AM to 11PM, despite her disability requiring her to take breaks to rest her eyes. This horrible boss allegedly told Floyd, " I don't care anything about your disability. I don't give a damn about her disability."
P.S. Mona Floyd is Black.
It's good to know that, when it comes to pure hatred, Sheila Jackson Lee does have the ability to be an equal opportunity offender.
This is a woman who needs to be ousted from her elected post as soon as possible. And, as she is packing up the contents of her office, perhaps she can take a look at the calendar on her desk.
She'll see that it's 2011, not 1863.
Dinner last night: BBQ pulled pork sandwich at Pink Taco.
