Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee has made history by becoming the first woman of either party to lead the prestigious House Judiciary subcommittee on crime, terrorism, homeland security and investigations.

WTH are people thinking electing that woman?   And how is she on any committee let alone leading a committee?  She is really and truly dumb as a stump.
 
@Fallon:  SJL aka Media ***** knows how to get plenty of television and media exposure for herself.  She also knows how to work every special event to show her face.  It just goes to show that it doesn't take intelligence to win an office as long as you are media savy and know how to please the people in your home district.  Many of those voters don't know what she's doing but they see her on TV and in the newspaper so they think she's doing a good job.I read an article a while back where SJL has staff that monitors the Chronicle and other local news.  If any well-known or influential person dies in her district, they contact the family and ask if SJL can attend the funeral.  Of course, with a crowd present, she then asks to say a few words...... not about the deceased (because she rarely knows them) but about the good work she's doing.  Some families have chased her off, but she's got a thick skin and most let her talk.

due to gerrymandering, there are many districts where the election of one slate of candidates is pretty well a done deal. and part of gerrymandering involved coalescing certain neighborhoods into districts that were predominantly black or hispanic in order to  have more predictability in the elections by drawing district lines according to the racial demographics. better to have 2 black reps rather than possibly lose 5 of the good ole boys. and thus while it solidified the predicability of the districts they were worried about, it also solidified the districts that they essentially tossed aside for the greater plan...and once again....she doesn't represent kingwood...if her district keeps re-electing her. it's their business. if we pay attention to our own sleazebags to hold them accountable for their actions, we might be better off 4951

I have not one issue with our rep Ted Poe ! And she isn't just representing her district she is representing the city of Houston As this is how the American people see her. They don't have any idea of who elected her So since kingwood isn't a city but yet we are houston (even as much as we all hate it). Then she does portray houston 4951
