Regardless of what political ideology/party you support, is she the dumbest person in the House (or any elected office)? -Speaking in July 2010 at the NAACP national convention, Jackson Lee compared the Tea Party to the KKK. -In July 2010 Jackson Lee said: "Today, we have two Vietnams, side by side, North and South, exchanging and working. We may not agree with all that North Vietnam is doing, but they are living in peace. I would look for a better human rights record for North Vietnam, but they are living side by side.” It was noted that Vietnam had not been split for four decades. -The Hill reported in 1997 that Jackson Lee had asked NASA officials whether the Mars Pathfinder photographed the U.S. flag that Neil Armstrong had planted on Mars. When this incident was reported, her chief of staff wrote a letter to the editor suggesting that she was targeted because she was black -In February 2013, Jackson Lee called herself a "freed slave" while talking on the House floor. -Jackson Lee said in January 2011 that repealing the health care law would be in violation of the Constitution. She argued that the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act is constitutional under the Commerce Clause, and that repealing it would violate both the Fifth and the Fourteenth Amendments.
I disagree. When you speak with her in private, she is very shrewd and cunning. Very knowledgeable about our political and justice system, America since World War II, lobbying, etc. She is quite aware of what things will push far-right conservatives' buttons. On the other hand, John Cluberson doesn't seem too intelligent in person.
I say Hank Johnson is slightly dumber. Here he is asking if Guam might tip over if we put too many Marines on it. Props to the officer for keeping a straight face. <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/zNZczIgVXjg" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
I have talked to her in person. We were on a flight together from Reagan to Bush airports a couple of years ago, both sitting in first. She's an idiot.
negative I still laugh every time you try to toss out some academic reference to try to sound smart. Once you get out of college hopefully you'll be a bit more grounded in reality rather than academic references.
Speaking at Scientology HQ opening? http://blog.chron.com/newswatch/2012/09/jackson-lee-speaks-at-scientology-hq-opening/
This entire thread is based on how other people think she is stupid LOL. yes, this thread is meaningless, and probably only best serves to see if Lee and Bigtexxx transcended their common love for good hair to arrive at STAGE 5.
At least Craig Washington was smarter than the average congressman. Sheila Jackson Lee brings down the curve.
I have too and she is far from an idiot, but she is a b**** regardless. She is a terrible representative and shouldn't get elected again.
